How it works: Click the Nutshell button or press Ctrl+Shift+S (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+S (Mac) on any YouTube video with captions. The extension streams a summary in real-time - no waiting for completion.

You can also export your summaries:

Copy to Clipboard - Copies markdown to clipboard
Open in Obsidian - Creates new Obsidian note via URI protocol
