What is Smart Note

From the Chrome Web Store

Smart Note is your AI note-taking assistant for YouTube videos. Smart Note — AI Summaries & Mind Maps

Turn long YouTube videos into clear summaries, structured notes, and visual mind maps—in seconds.

Smart Note brings an AI-powered notes panel right beside any YouTube video. Whether you're learning from a lecture, following a coding tutorial, or catching a podcast, Smart Note extracts the transcript and generates timestamped notes you can actually use—then export anywhere. Bring your own key, or run everything locally and privately.

Key Features: ----------------------

  • Eight Note Styles: Quick Brief, Technical Breakdown, Study Notes (ELI5), Research Notes, Action Plan, Podcast Notes,

Cards View, and Mind Map—each tuned to a different way of learning.

  • Interactive Mind Maps: Automatically generate a visual map of any topic, with Tree, Vertical, and Radial views, zoom

controls, and one-click PNG export.

  • Smart Auto-Detection: Smart Note reads the video's category and suggests the best note style automatically—Technical

for coding tutorials, Study for lectures, and more.

  • Clickable Timestamps: Every note is anchored to the moment it happens. Click any timestamp to jump straight there in

the video—no more rewinding.

  • Key Quotes: Highlights the most important direct quotes—with speaker and timestamp—so you capture what was actually

said.

  • Technical & Developer Mode: Specialized extraction of code snippets, tech stacks, commands, and core concepts from

coding tutorials.

  • Study & Action Modes: Generate "Explain Like I'm 5" simplifications, quick quizzes, flashcards, and checklist-style

action plans.

  • Live Streaming: Notes appear in real time as the AI writes them—no waiting for a full response.

Export Anywhere: ----------------------------- Send your notes to the tools you already use:

  • Notion & Obsidian — one-click save (action items become to-dos)
  • Google Docs & PDF — clean, formatted documents
  • Flashcards — auto-generated Q&A from any video
  • Session Mode — combine notes across multiple videos into a single markdown file
  • Copy to Clipboard — instant markdown

Your AI, Your Choice: ----------------------------------

Smart Note works with five providers—local or cloud:

  • Local & Free: Ollama, LM Studio (100% private, runs offline)
  • Cloud: OpenAI, Gemini, OpenRouter (bring your own API key)

How It Works: ----------------------

1. Open any YouTube video. 2. Click the Smart Notes button beside the player (or the extension icon). 3. Pick a note style—or let Smart Note auto-detect the best one. 4. Watch structured notes stream in, then export with a single click.

Privacy & Control: -----------------------------

  • Bring Your Own Key: Your cloud API keys are stored only in your browser—you're always in control.
  • 100% Local Option: Run entirely offline with Ollama or LM Studio. Your transcripts never leave your machine.
  • No Servers, No Storage: Smart Note has no backend. Keys, notes, and settings live only in your browser.

Perfect for:

  • Developers: Extract code, commands, and tech stacks from tutorials.
  • Students: Turn lectures into study guides, quizzes, and flashcards.
  • Researchers: Summarize talks, podcasts, and webinars into shareable notes.
  • Lifelong Learners: Capture every insight without the pause-and-rewind.

Stop rewinding. Start remembering. Try Smart Note—free on Chrome.
