Video Notes for YouTube — the Chrome extension for taking timestamped notes on any YouTube video, without ever leaving the page.

Built for students, researchers, online learners, and anyone who uses YouTube to actually learn something. Turn any lecture, tutorial, documentary, or course into a structured, searchable knowledge base — right inside your browser.

📌 100% Private & Local. Notes are stored in your browser using Chrome's storage API. Nothing is sent to any server. No account required. No sign-up. Ever.

─────────────────────────────────────
HOW IT WORKS
─────────────────────────────────────
A floating panel appears on every YouTube video. Press Alt+N, type your note, hit Enter — it's instantly saved with the exact video timestamp. Click any timestamp later to jump straight back to that moment. That's it. No switching tabs. No copy-pasting links. No interrupting your flow.

CORE FEATURES

📝 Timestamped Notes
Every note is automatically tagged with the current video position the moment you save it. One click on any timestamp jumps you back to that exact second — perfect for reviewing lectures, marking key moments in tutorials, or flagging ideas in long-form content.

🗂️ Notes Dashboard
A full-page dashboard brings together every note you've ever taken across every YouTube video in one place. Browse by video, search across your entire library, and export whenever you're ready. Your personal YouTube knowledge base, organized.

📤 Export to Markdown or TXT
Download your notes as a clean .md or .txt file with one click. Ready to paste straight into Notion, Obsidian, Roam Research, Logseq, or any note-taking app you already use. Perfect for building
a second brain from video content.

📸 Screenshot Capture
Capture any frame from the video and attach it directly to your note. No external tool, no alt-tabbing, no extra steps. The image is saved alongside your text note, exactly where it belongs.

🔍 Real-Time Search
Find any note instantly as you type — inside the video panel and across the full dashboard. Built for people who take a lot of notes and need to retrieve them fast.
