This tutorial covers three essential React patterns for building scalable applications: compound components, render props, and custom hooks...
Every transcript you process is saved to your personal library. Search across all your notes, tag by topic, and revisit any video’s content instantly — without re-watching or re-processing.
Connect Google Drive and your library stays in sync across every device. Export to Markdown, copy to clipboard, or download as PDF — your notes work with Notion, Obsidian, or whatever tool you prefer.
Short videos processed in seconds. Long podcasts stream results as each section finishes.
Your data stays on your device and in your own Google account. We never store your transcripts on our servers.
Works with any YouTube video that has captions — auto-generated or manual, in any language.
Press Alt+T to process any video instantly. No clicking required.
