MomentNotes: YouTube Notes with Timestamps

Timestamped notes for YouTube lectures and courses. Click a note to jump back. Export clean Markdown for Obsidian or Notion.

Notes that remember the moment. MomentNotes adds a small, quiet notes panel to every YouTube video. Each note you write is automatically stamped with the video's current time — click it later and the video jumps right back to that moment. How it works 1. Open any YouTube video and click the round MomentNotes button — or just press Alt+N 2. Type a thought and press "Add at current time" 3. Export everything as clean Markdown — with clickable timestamp links Made for studying • Click any timestamp to replay the exact moment • Markdown export drops perfectly into Obsidian, Notion, Logseq, or any editor • Notes persist per video — come back next week and continue • Alt+N opens the panel without touching the mouse • Keyboard friendly; never auto-pauses; stays out of YouTube's way Built for the way people actually study Lecture notes, online course notes, conference talks, coding tutorials, language learning, exam revision, MOOC and bootcamp material, recorded seminars and webinars. If you take notes on a long video, this replaces typing timestamps by hand. Private by design Your notes live in your browser's local storage — no account, no cloud, no AI, no tracking. The only network request ever made is the license check with Gumroad if you buy. Exports end with a single line crediting MomentNotes, which is how most people find it. It is plain text with nothing traceable in it, and there is a checkbox in the popup to turn it off. Fair free plan Free forever: unlimited notes on unlimited videos + Copy Markdown to clipboard.
