Take notes without losing the timestamp
Your notes stay connected to the exact moment in the video, so you can return to the source fast. Timestamped video notes help when you review lectures, interviews, tutorials, or research videos later.
Free YouTube Note Taker with Timestamps
Paste a YouTube URL, take timestamped notes beside the video and transcript, discuss specific moments, and let collaborators reply.
Keep the transcript beside your notes
Use transcript context while you watch. You can capture a quote, summarize an explanation, or write your own takeaway without losing the surrounding source material.
Capture ranges, not just moments
Save timestamp ranges when an explanation, demo, or argument spans more than one clip. You can keep longer ideas connected to the right part of the video.
Export into your writing workflow
Move your notes into Markdown, HTML, or rich text for Notion, Google Docs, Obsidian, or research docs. Your video notes can become outlines, summaries, study guides, or project documentation.
Discuss video notes with replies
Share notes with source context so collaborators can review the same video evidence and reply to specific moments. You can turn a lecture, interview, demo, or research video into a focused discussion without asking anyone to search through the whole video.
