Video Notes
A small Chrome extension that anchors your thoughts to the exact second of the video that produced them. Press a key, write, return at will.
Capture
Press โฅ N on macOS, or Alt N on Windows, anywhere on a watch page. The video pauses, a writing surface opens at the current timestamp, you type. Hit return โ the player picks up where you stopped.
See it in action โบTimeline
Every note becomes a marker on the timeline. Hover for a preview. Click to jump straight to the moment that produced it. Six months later, the path back is still one second of effort.
Search
Click the extension icon. A searchable index of every note across every video appears, sorted by timestamp. Type to filter. Click a timestamp to open the video in a new tab at the exact second.

Switch on new-tab flashcards and every blank tab becomes one multiple-choice question โ written by Gemini from the notes you actually took. Answer it, read the note behind it, and jump straight to that second of the video. Bring your own free key; it stays on your device.
Privacy
Every note lives in chrome.storage.local on your machine. No accounts. No sync. No telemetry.
