CORE FEATURES

📌 Timestamped Notes
Every note is tagged with the exact second you saved it. Click any timestamp to jump straight back to that moment in the video. Perfect for lectures, tutorials, interviews, and long-form content.
📤 Export to Obsidian, Notion, Markdown, or TXT
One-click Obsidian export generates proper frontmatter — video title, channel, URL, and date — and formats your notes as wikilinks so they drop directly into your vault. Notion export creates a structured page. Markdown and TXT export available for everything else.
🗂️ Notes Dashboard
Every note you've ever taken, across every YouTube video, in one searchable place. Browse by video, filter by tag, search your full library. Your personal YouTube knowledge base — organized.
🔍 Full-Text Search
Find any note instantly as you type, both inside the video panel and across the full dashboard. Built for people who take a lot of notes and need to retrieve them fast.
📸 Screenshot Capture
Capture any frame from the video and attach it directly to your note. Saved alongside your text — no alt-tabbing, no external tools.
