About Recapta
Recapta: Capture, Understand and Save What You Learn on YouTube
Recapta is a learning companion for YouTube that helps you save meaningful moments, understand video content, and turn what you watch into reusable knowledge without interrupting your viewing experience.
Whether you are watching tutorials, lectures, interviews, product demos, or educational videos, Recapta keeps your screenshots, transcripts, notes, summaries, and key insights organized in one place.
*Key Features
- Capture important video moments with a single click
- Save screenshots, timestamps, transcripts, and personal notes
- Generate structured AI summaries with key points and insights
- Browse a timeline of important ideas from each video
- Chat with video content and ask follow-up questions
- Mark moments as favorites or organize them with tags
- Jump directly back to the relevant timestamp on YouTube
- Copy complete notes and summaries to your clipboard
- Export your learning notes as Markdown files
- Sync content and screenshots to Obsidian
- Create organized pages in Notion
- Keep notes from multiple videos inside the side panel
*Built for Focused Learning
Recapta works inside Chrome’s side panel, so you can capture and review information while the video continues playing. It reduces the need to pause, switch tabs, take manual screenshots, or repeatedly search through a video.
*AI-Powered Understanding
Connect your own Gemini API key to generate summaries, identify key ideas, organize timelines, and chat with video content. Recapta uses the transcript and captured moments to create structured, easy-to-review learning material.
*Flexible Export Options
Your captured knowledge is not locked inside the extension. Export it to the tools you already use:
- Notion
- Obsidian
- Markdown
- Clipboard
Exports can include summaries, timestamps, transcripts, notes, key insights, tags, and captured screenshots.
*Privacy and Data Control
Recapta does not require a Recapta account. Your captured data, settings, and API keys are stored locally in your browser. External services are contacted only when you choose to use features such as AI summaries, transcript fallback, or exports.
Start turning passive video watching into organized, searchable, and reusable knowledge with Recapta.
