Chrome extension that downloads the full transcript of any YouTube video, with clickable timestamps, AI summaries streamed live, and the original creator tags. Every caption language. No sign-up.
Four built-in tools for creators, students, researchers — anyone who hates re-watching a 2-hour video to find one sentence.
Open a video and the complete transcript opens alongside it — grouped into ~15-25 second blocks that end on sentence boundaries. Click any timestamp and the player jumps to that exact moment.
Powered by Gemini 2.5 with a 1M-token context — handles a 5-minute clip and a 4-hour podcast equally well. The summary streams token-by-token, so you read it as it's written instead of waiting on a spinner.
See the exact YouTube tags the channel set on upload — the ones that don't show on the public page. Copy the full list with one click. Useful for niche research, content benchmarking, and competitor analysis.
One click sends the full transcript to your clipboard, another saves it as a plain .txt file. Drop it into Notion, Obsidian, Google Docs, or feed it to your own LLM — it's just text.
If a video has multiple caption tracks — English, Spanish, Japanese, Arabic, Hindi, Portuguese — switch between them in one click.
Type a phrase and jump to it. Faster than scrubbing the timeline and trying to remember when they said it.
Reading a blog post or a Reddit thread? The extension scans the page, lists every embedded YouTube video, and opens it with one click.
Side panel stays open as you click around YouTube. New video starts → new transcript loads, automatically.
Install from the Web Store. A small red icon lands in your toolbar — that's it, you're set up.
Click the icon. The side panel slides in next to the player with tabs for Transcript, Summary and Tags — auto-loaded for the current video.
Click a timestamp to seek. Hit Summary to stream a Gemini brief. Hit Tags to copy the creator's keywords. Done.
The extension uses YouTube's official caption tracks — set by the creator or generated by YouTube — so the text matches what's actually on screen, not a machine guess from the audio.
If a video has tracks in several languages, switch between them with the language picker. Export the whole thing as a plain .txt file or copy it to clipboard.
Long interview, dense lecture, two-hour podcast — the summary pulls out the points that matter. Gemini 2.5 Flash with a 1M-token context handles the whole transcript in one shot.
Streams token-by-token as it generates. No artificial buffering, no fake "typing" animation — you read it as it's written.
Every YouTube upload has a list of tags the creator set on the back end — they're not visible on the public video page. The extension pulls them, lists them, and lets you copy the lot.
Useful for niche research, competitor benchmarking, and figuring out what keywords are worth borrowing for your own uploads.
If your job involves pulling information out of YouTube — for any reason — this is faster than re-watching.
Skim the transcript, highlight the key passages, drop them straight into your notes app. Search for "exam" or "important" and find every callout.
Pull exact wording, with the timestamp attached for verification. Copy a passage, drop it into your draft, link the source.
One YouTube upload becomes a newsletter, a thread, three quote-tiles and a blog post. The transcript is the source material — the AI summary gives you the spine.
Five interviews, each two hours long. Search the transcript for the term you care about and skip straight to the timestamps. The rest stays unwatched.
Read what your competitors are actually saying — minus the production. Pull their original tag list to see what they're targeting on the SEO side.
Native-language captions next to the audio. Switch tracks to compare wording. Copy phrases into your flashcard app.
The extension does one job. It does not log what you watch.
Install and use it on the next video. There is no login form, no paywall, no "verify your email". You are not the product.
To pull captions, the extension sends the current video ID and an anonymous install ID for rate limits. No browsing history, no watch history, no profile.
80 transcripts, 150 tag lookups and 20 AI summaries per day, per user. Resets at midnight UTC. Plenty for normal use, enough to keep the abuse out.
No signup. No watch history. One install and you'll wonder how you used YouTube without it.
