Features

A complete video intelligence workspace.

Notes, transcripts, AI briefs, knowledge graph, and cross-video synthesis — all in one native Mac app.

Take notes that don’t get lost

Notes pinned to the exact moment.

Every note is anchored to the video’s current time. Click a note in the sidebar and the player jumps to that second. Search across every note in your library with one shortcut.

  • ⌘↩ to save a note at the current time
  • Drag-and-drop local files or paste a YouTube URL
  • Full-text search across every note you’ve ever taken
Transcription

Every word, searchable.

Local Whisper transcription with visual slide-change detection. Your lectures and podcasts become a searchable text archive.

  • Local Whisper (no cloud, no upload)
  • Automatic slide-timeline from visual change detection
  • Import public YouTube captions, paste from anywhere, or transcribe a downloaded MP4
Captures with intelligence

Screenshots that read themselves.

Capture any frame. OCR, formula-to-LaTeX, and Swift/JS code extraction run automatically. Paste back into your notes or Anki deck with one click.

  • Formula recognition with LaTeX export
  • Code extraction with language detection
  • Region capture for cropping slides or diagrams
AI Brief

A research brief per video.

Four layers of structured output: overview, key claims, entities, notable quotes, topic map, reading list, open questions, flashcards, and a draft research note.

  • Every claim linked to a timestamp in the source
  • Bundled on-device AI (Apple MLX) — no key needed
  • Or bring your own OpenAI / Anthropic / Gemini key
Knowledge graph

Your library thinks for itself.

Entities (people, books, companies, tools) are extracted from every processed video and connected automatically. Click any node to see its full timeline across your library.

  • Auto-resolves duplicate entities across videos
  • Scope by video, playlist, or full library
  • Export as Markdown, Obsidian wikilinks, or CSV
Cross-video synthesis

See where your sources agree.

Tension maps cluster overlapping claims, classify consensus vs. contested, and let you compile a citation-rich research document from your whole library.

  • Find repeated themes across 2 to 200 videos
  • Keep / merge / contrast / exclude per cluster
  • Compiled document cites every source with timestamps
Privacy first

Your library never leaves your Mac.

Local SQLite, local Whisper, local full-text search. AI calls go directly from your machine to the provider you configured — nothing passes through our servers (because we don’t have any).

  • No telemetry, no account required
  • Works fully offline with bundled Local AI; cloud providers optional
  • macOS Sandbox compatible
