Markers for YouTube

Store your video timestamps and navigate between them easily at any time!

Markers for YouTube turns any YouTube video into a set of clickable timeline markers with your own Markdown notes — and can sync everything into an Obsidian vault as Markdown files. FEATURES - Timeline markers — mark any moment on the video's progress bar and jump between markers. Markers are saved per video and restored when you come back. - Markdown notes per marker — write a note on each marker. Full Markdown (bold, italic, headings, lists, code, quotes, links) renders in the notes panel and in the exported files. - Under‑video notes panel — a clean list of every marker for the current video. On wide desktop layouts the panel appears at the top of the suggestions column and matches the video's height; in theater mode or narrow windows it moves under the video. It follows YouTube's light/dark theme automatically. - Obsidian vault sync — write your markers as Markdown files straight into a folder you choose, using the browser File System Access API. No server, no account, no cloud. Import existing files back to restore after a reinstall. - Keyboard shortcuts — Add (Alt+Shift+A), Remove (Alt+Shift+R), Previous / Next marker (Alt+Shift+←/→). Editable at chrome://extensions/shortcuts. - Screenshots — capture the current frame with one click. - History popup — a searchable, filterable list of all marked videos, with per‑column filters, data import/export (JSON), and a one‑click "merge duplicate videos" cleanup. - Appearance settings — marker color, active color, width, height, opacity, and time labels. PRIVACY Everything stays on your device. Markers, notes and settings are stored locally in the browser; vault files are written only to the local folder you pick. The extension has no servers, sends no data anywhere, and contains no ads, analytics or tracking. Works on youtube.com/watch pages. Open‑source, licensed under GPL‑3.0.
