How it works

Keep the learning loop inside YouTube.

Use the panel on YouTube watch pages, then review the same notes from the popup library when you need to return to the moment that mattered.

1

Open a YouTube video

Use YouTube as usual. The note panel is available on watch pages.

2

Write a note in the video

Capture the thought, question, or takeaway while the video context is still fresh.

3

Review or export later

Search saved notes, jump back to the original moment, export Markdown, or create a JSON backup.
