Features

Everything You Need

Powerful tools for indexing, searching, and discovering content across YouTube videos.

Semantic Search

Find clips by meaning, not just keywords. Ask natural language questions and get precise results with timestamp citations.

Index Anything

Index entire channels, playlists, or individual videos. Smart skip ensures re-running on a channel only indexes new content.

Intro Skip

Automatically filters out the first 2 minutes of videos to avoid teasers and intros, giving you relevant content results.

Transcript Export

Download any video's transcript as SRT subtitles. View full transcripts for each clip with 60-second precision chunks.

BYOK

Bring Your Own Key — use your Gemini API key stored securely in your browser. No backend key storage required.

Local Storage

All data stored on your machine using ChromaDB. Full REST API with OpenAPI documentation for integration.
