Viewmento - YouTube Video Highlighter

Viewmento helps you remember what you view on YouTube. Highlight key video moments, review and build learning streaks.

Viewmento helps you remember what you view on YouTube by turning passive watching into a curated, reviewable knowledge vault. It is your second brain for video. You are watching a masterclass, a deep-dive podcast, or a coding tutorial. Usually, saving a brilliant insight means pausing the video, switching tabs, and breaking your focus—and even then, those notes usually sit in a folder, never to be read again. Viewmento changes that. It is the ultimate frictionless video intelligence tool, built natively for YouTube. Here’s what you can do: 🟣 Passive AI Distillation – Just watch. When you finish a video, Viewmento elegantly slides in to hand you the 3 most profound insights from the video. Save the best ones with a single click. 🟣 Capture the moment – Prefer to take control? Click the highlight ring or hold the 'B' key to seamlessly save the exact insight you just heard, without ever hitting pause. 🟣 Unified Knowledge Vault – Your manual highlights and AI-distilled Knowledge Cards live together in a beautiful, searchable timeline. 🟣 Pixel-Perfect Replay – Click any saved insight to instantly return to that exact syllable in the original YouTube video. 🟣 Review and Retain – Highlighting is just the start. Use built-in spaced repetition mechanics to actually remember and internalize the concepts you save. Perfect for: Founders, students, developers, and lifelong learners who want to turn their YouTube history into a high-leverage library of personal knowledge. _________________________________________________________________ 🚀 Changelog ✦ v1.5.1 - The Precision Update [20/07/2026] We’ve added surgical precision to your manual captures, letting you flawlessly refine your highlights without ever breaking your flow or leaving the video player. – The Transcript Scalpel: Missed the exact start of a quote?
