vidnotesGet started

Every video, turned into notes.

Paste a YouTube link and Vidnotes writes the transcript, pulls out the key ideas, and turns an hour of talk into five lines you will read.

Vidnotes app window, Notes view. Takeaways, quotes, and to-dos, ready before the video ends.

Notes that get more useful
with every video you watch.

Ready in seconds. Searchable forever. Quiet the rest of the time.

  • One-click capture

    Press one shortcut on any YouTube page and the notes start writing. No window to find.

  • Any kind of video

    Lectures, podcasts, tutorials, keynotes, and livestream replays. If it has a YouTube link, Vidnotes can write it up.

  • Knows who said what

    Voices are matched to the video description and chapters, so names are right the first time.

  • To-dos with sources

    Every task gets a speaker, a timestamp, and a link to the moment it was mentioned.

  • Private by default

    Your notes live in your own library. Nothing goes public unless you share it.

  • Instant search

    Find a number, a name, or a quote across every video you have saved.

We are eleven people in Lisbon and Toronto. Most of us spent years pausing lectures and rewinding talks, half watching and half typing. Vidnotes is the tool we wanted then: quiet, fast, and finished before the video ends. We charge for software, not for your data, and we plan to keep it that way.

We are hiring two engineers

Vidnotes for Teams

Turn every video into shared knowledge

Shared folders, team search, and summaries that land in the tools your company already uses.

Admins get SSO, retention rules, and audit logs. Every video is still processed in each person’s own private library.
