Viewmento - YouTube Video Highlighter

Viewmento helps you remember what you view on YouTube by turning passive watching into a curated, reviewable knowledge vault. It is your second brain for video. You are watching a masterclass, a deep-dive podcast, or a coding tutorial. Usually, saving a brilliant insight means pausing the video, switching tabs, and breaking your focus—and even then, those notes usually sit in a folder, never to be read again. Viewmento changes that. It is the ultimate frictionless video intelligence tool, built natively for YouTube. Here’s what you can do: 🟣 Chat with your video memory – Can't remember where you heard that one concept? Open the Side Panel and ask. Our semantic AI instantly searches your local vault and answers using your saved highlights, complete with clickable deep-links to the exact second you need. 🟣 Passive AI Distillation – Just watch. When you finish a video, Viewmento elegantly slides in to hand you the 3 most profound insights from the video. Save the best ones with a single click. 🟣 Capture the moment – Prefer to take control? Click the highlight ring or hold the 'B' key to seamlessly save the exact insight you just heard, without ever hitting pause. 🟣 Unified Knowledge Vault – Your manual highlights and AI-distilled Knowledge Cards live together in a beautiful, searchable timeline. 🟣 Pixel-Perfect Replay – Click any saved insight to instantly return to that exact syllable in the original YouTube video. 🟣 Review and Retain – Highlighting is just the start. Use built-in spaced repetition mechanics to actually remember and internalize the concepts you save. Perfect for: Founders, students, developers, and lifelong learners who want to turn their YouTube history into a high-leverage library of personal knowledge. _________________________________________________________________ 🚀 Changelog ✦ v1.6.0 - The "Second Brain" Update [26/08/2026] We just turned Viewmento from a highlighting tool into a fully context-aware AI assistant that lives directly inside your browser. - Local Vector Vault: Your highlights are now stored in a lightweight, local semantic vector database.
