  TubeNotes — Capture What Matters from YouTube
  
  TubeNotes helps you keep track of the YouTube videos that are actually worth remembering. With one click, TubeNotes extracts the video transcript (with timestamps) and key metadata, formats everything into clean, readable text, and copies it to your clipboard — ready to paste into Evernote, Notion, Obsidian, OneNote, or any other notes app you use.
  
  No accounts. No servers. Everything runs locally in your browser.
  
  What TubeNotes Does:
  
  - Extracts YouTube video transcripts with timestamps
  - Captures essential video metadata (title, channel, URL, duration)
  - Outputs clean, formatted text (headings, timestamps) that pastes perfectly into notes apps
  - Copies everything to your clipboard in one click
  
  DESIGNED TO STAY SIMPLE
  TubeNotes is intentionally lightweight and focused:
  - No login required
  - No AI processing in this version
  - Anonymous error and usage reporting only (no personal data — see Privacy Policy)
  - Your transcript content never leaves your browser
  
  TubeNotes is ideal for:
  - People who listen to YouTube (walks, commutes, background learning)
  - Students and lifelong learners
  - Researchers, writers, and knowledge workers
  - Anyone who has ever thought: "I know I watched a great video about this... where was it?"
  
  EARLY ACCESS
  This is an early version focused on fast, reliable transcript capture.
  Future updates may add optional convenience features such as automation or summaries, but TubeNotes will always keep its core workflow simple: capture useful content from YouTube and reuse it wherever you take notes.
  
  PERMISSIONS & PRIVACY
  TubeNotes requires access to YouTube pages only in order to read video details and transcripts.
  - No personal data is collected
  - Transcript content never leaves your device
  - Anonymous usage and error events are reported to help us fix bugs and improve the extension (extension version and Chrome version only — no URLs, titles, or content)
