About Skimkit - YouTube Summary & Transcript
β‘ Skimkit
Skimkit adds a small box next to every YouTube video with its full transcript and, when you want one, a summary with timestamps. Find out what a video says before you spend 40 minutes on it, or jump straight to the part you need.
No account, no sign-in, no ads. The transcript is always free.
π How it works
1. Open any YouTube video. The Skimkit box sits on the right, above the suggested videos.
2. Click Transcript to read everything that is said. Click any line to jump there.
3. Click Summarize this video to get the main point, key points, chapters and takeaways, each with a timestamp you can click.

π― Single purpose: Skimkit shows the transcript of the YouTube video you are watching and summarizes it or answers questions about it when you ask.
π Privacy
Skimkit runs only on youtube.com and has no ads and no tracking across websites. It reads the captions YouTube's own player downloads in your browser. Transcripts never leave your browser until you click Summarize or ask a question: then the transcript text, the video title and the channel name are sent to our server and to OpenAI to write the answer, and are not stored. We never see your watch history or your account. Skimkit sends anonymous usage events (like "a summary was made", never URLs, titles or transcripts) to our server, and you can turn them off in Settings. We never sell or share data. GDPR and LGPD requests: support@chpx.io.
Skimkit is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by YouTube or Google.
