For researchers
Keep every video source linked to its exact moment
Note each idea with its video and timestamp, group sources into feeds and search transcripts when YouTube provides them.
A source without a timestamp is hard to check
In research and monitoring, a video is one source among others. But a bookmark or a loose note doesn’t say where the claim appears or what came just before it.
Months later, you rewatch the video to find the exact sentence again. Your research log and your video references drift apart, and the link between an idea and its source weakens.
A monitoring workflow, from feed to note
-
Sort sources into feeds
Group channels and playlists by topic, so each watch session starts from a defined scope.
-
Note with the exact timestamp
Each note keeps its video and timestamp. Use it for a quote, a hypothesis or an open question.
-
Search the transcripts
When YouTube provides captions, search for a term, find the passage that contains it and follow playback from there.
-
Filter your notes by keyword
The notes filter covers all your videos. Trace an idea across sources and jump back to each moment it appears.
What you use it for
-
Notes tied to their source
Every note stays linked to its video and timestamp, so you can cite or recheck it without rewatching everything.
-
Searchable transcripts
Where a transcript exists, scan it, search a term and follow the matching line during playback.
-
Keyword filter across notes
One filter across all your notes shows a recurring theme across your sources.
-
Feeds and playlists by topic
Separate sources by subject or project, and change scope without losing your notes.
-
Study cards to retain key points
Turn a key point into a question and an answer, then review it with spaced repetition and replay the source passage.
-
Extension bookmarks and exports
The Chrome extension (public install in preparation) keeps timestamped bookmarks locally and exports your notes as Markdown or JSON.
What ReplayGlows is not
- Not a source finder: ReplayGlows does not search for videos or articles on your behalf.
- Not an automatic analysis tool: no AI summary runs unless you ask, and AI summaries are part of Pro.
- Not a fact-checker: a note links to its source, but ReplayGlows does not verify what the video says.
- Not a team workspace: there is no shared workspace or collaboration.
- Not a transcript guarantee: transcripts exist only when YouTube provides captions.
- Free plan limits: 10 videos, 50 notes per video, 3 playlists and 50 study cards (10 per video).
Frequently asked questions
Are my notes verifiable?
Each note links to its video and timestamp, which helps you return to the source. ReplayGlows does not check whether the content of a video is accurate.
Do transcripts cover every video?
No. A transcript appears only when YouTube provides captions for the video.
Can I export my notes?
The Chrome extension exports its bookmarks and notes as Markdown or JSON. Note export in the web app is part of Pro.
Do AI tools analyze my sources?
No. AI summaries and study card drafts run only when you ask, with your own OpenRouter or Cerebras key. They are part of Pro.
