I have a problem. I watch way too much YouTube. Not the fun stuff - I mean tutorials, lectures, those 3-hour coding videos I convince myself I'll finish. And every time, same story: Watch for 30 seconds. Pause. Scribble something down. Realize I missed the next part. Rewind. Repeat until I give up. A 20-minute video takes 45 minutes. My notes look like hieroglyphics. And then I can't even find them later because they're in some random Google Doc I forgot about.
What I actually wanted
Two things kept bugging me:
- I wanted my notes saved in one place. Not scattered across 47 different files. Just everything organized by video.
- I wanted notes in my language. Half the good content is in English, but I think better in my native language. Translating in my head while taking notes? Exhausting. No tool did both. So I built one.
What I made
notetubeai.in Paste any YouTube link. It gives you:
- Transcript - Full searchable text. Click any line, video jumps there.
- Chat - Ask questions about the video. "What did he say about X?" Actually works.
- Breakdown - Auto-generated chapters with summaries. Skip to what matters.
- Flashcards - If you're actually trying to remember this stuff.
- User Notes - Select any part of transcript, save it, AI can rewrite it for you.
- Take Me There - Search for any topic, finds the exact moment.
Why I'm sharing this
I built it for myself. Been using it for a few weeks. Figured maybe other people have the same problem. It's free. I'm not selling anything. Just want feedback - what's broken, what's annoying, what's missing. If you try it: notetubeai.in Tell me what sucks. I'll fix it.
