Local Video Notes — timestamps, 100% private

About

Take timestamped notes while you watch — and never lose a key moment again.

  Local Video Notes adds a clean, collapsible notes panel to YouTube, Udemy, Coursera, Vimeo and Domestika. Every note is anchored to the exact second you started writing it. Click any note to jump straight back to that
  moment.

  WHY THIS ONE? BECAUSE IT'S 100% PRIVATE.
  Most video note tools send your notes to their servers, require an account, and stop working when their backend has a bad day. Local Video Notes is different by design:

  ✓ No account. No sign-up. Install and start writing.
  ✓ No cloud. Notes are stored in your browser, on your computer. Period.
  ✓ No tracking, no analytics, no data collection of any kind.
  ✓ Your notes are never transmitted anywhere. Ever.
  ✓ Ultralight. No frameworks, nothing eating your RAM.

  FEATURES
  • Timestamped notes on YouTube, Udemy, Coursera, Vimeo and Domestika
  • Click a timestamp → the video jumps to that moment
  • The current note lights up as the video plays — your notes become a live index
  • Alt+N to open the panel and start writing without touching the mouse
  • Notes anchor to the second you STARTED typing (not when you finished)
  • Optional: auto-pause the video while you type, resume when you save
  • Edit and delete notes inline; Esc tucks the panel away
  • Collapsible panel that never covers the player controls — works in fullscreen too
  • Move the panel to either side of the screen
  • Search across all your notes, with highlighted matches
  • Export any video's notes as Markdown (clipboard or .md file)
  • Pro: export ALL your notes as a single Markdown file — your data is yours
  • Pro: full backup & restore to a file you control (move notes between computers)

  PERFECT FOR
  Students taking online courses, developers following tutorials, researchers reviewing talks, and anyone who learns from video and is tired of "where was that part again?"

  Your notes. Your computer. Nobody else's business.
