YTB Notebook: a YouTube video playing alongside a timestamped, rich-text note editor

YouTube is a goldmine for learning, but it's a battle against the algorithm. To combat doomscrolling through recommendations and passively watching videos without retaining a thing. I built YTB Notebook to stop the noise and bring back the power of active note-taking learning.

Timestamped Notes

Attach rich-text notes to the exact moment in a video, so context is never lost.

Collections

Group related videos into collections to keep research, courses, or projects organized.

Resume Playback

Pick up right where you left off — playback position is saved automatically.

Export to PDF

Export a single note or an entire video's notes to a clean, ready-to-share PDF.
