System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Distills long-form YouTube transcripts into structured, Obsidian-optimized markdown notes, enabling quick scanning, context retention, and efficient knowledge capture from video content.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatically extract transcripts (prefer manual captions when available) and convert them into frontmatter-driven notes suitable for Obsidian.
  • Group insights by theme for longer videos or present bullet-point points with precise timestamps for shorter videos.
  • Provide a ready-to-import note with YAML frontmatter (title, author, source, created date) and a curated TL;DR section for rapid recall.

Quick Start

Provide a YouTube URL and optional flags to generate an Obsidian-ready markdown summary with timestamps and themes.
