How the pieces fit together
From one YouTube video to a knowledge base that gets more useful over time
The feature list is one connected flow: capture the source, preserve visual context, learn from the video, retrieve knowledge across the saved library, then keep the result in portable files.
1. Bring in the sourceFetch the YouTube transcript and build the local video workspace.
2. Preserve the screenCapture diagrams, code, equations, slides, and UI states that speech alone misses.
3. Learn & navigateUse chapters, video chat, mind maps, and highlights while the source context is fresh.
4. Build the knowledge baseSearch across saved videos, Ask across relevant notes, and use Test Me for active recall.
5. Keep it portableStore Markdown and images locally, open them in Obsidian, or export a finished PDF.
Capture & notes
Turn a YouTube video into durable notes while preserving the visual context that transcripts miss.
Save hours
AI notes
Generate structured notes from the transcript, with long videos handled in smaller chunks before the final note is assembled.
Preserve code & slides
Screenshot capture
Capture slides, code, equations, and diagrams while watching and file each frame beside the relevant timestamped notes.
OCR text & diagrams
Screenshot AI analysis
Analyze captured frames so text, code, and diagrams become useful context for search and video chat.
Learn & navigate
Move through long videos by topic, ask questions, and turn passive watching into a reusable learning workspace.
Jump to moments
Chapters & timestamps
Generate structured chapters and subsections anchored to the source video so you can jump back to the exact moment.
Grounded Q&A
Chat with video
Ask questions against transcript and captured visual context, with source timestamps and relevant screenshot evidence when available.
Visual topic map
Mind maps
Generate an interactive topic hierarchy from the video and use it as a compact way to explore the material.
5-min recap
AI Video Highlights
Play the most important source segments in sequence so you can review the key moments without rewatching the full video.
Knowledge base & recall
Reuse what you have already learned: find it across the library, ask across it, and practice retrieval.
Instant recall
Knowledge Search
Search across saved videos and surface the most relevant matching chapters grouped under each video.
Cross-video answers
Ask Knowledge Base
Ask a question across your saved video-note library and get an answer grounded in relevant material you have collected.
Active recall quizzes
Test Me
Generate active-recall questions from your saved knowledge so review focuses on retrieval instead of passive rereading.
Export & workflow
Keep your notes portable: Markdown remains the source format, with optional PDF and Obsidian workflows on top.
Standalone sharing
Export to PDF
Create a polished PDF from the finished note with optional summary, AI notes, screenshots, and timestamps.
100% data ownership
Obsidian & Markdown
Store ordinary Markdown and image files in a folder you control and read them directly from an Obsidian vault.
AI & privacy
Run supported AI models on your Mac and choose a model that fits its available memory.
Private & offline
Local Gemma AI
After the YouTube source is fetched, run supported Gemma 4 models directly on your Mac for notes and related AI workflows without an API key.
Hardware tuned
Local model choice
Choose a lighter Gemma model or a supported Qwen vision model for your hardware. AI inference runs locally; cloud-provider API keys are not supported.
