TubeDigest is a web app built for people who learn from videos but need notes they can actually use later. Instead of rewatching long clips, you can generate a structured summary, scan the key points, and search old insights in seconds.

What It Helps You Do

• Convert a YouTube link into a concise, readable summary.
• Break dense topics into visual mind maps.
• Find past learnings with full-text search.
• Optionally sync summaries to GitHub as markdown files.

How It Works

TubeDigest extracts transcript content, sends it through an AI summarization workflow, stores output in a database, and renders results in a format designed for fast review. The app focuses on practical output quality over novelty so you can move from video to action quickly.

What We Optimize For

The product is designed around practical output quality. That means clear structure, direct language, and a format that works for study, planning, and team handoffs. We prioritize summaries you can scan in minutes and still trust when you revisit them later.

We also focus on retrieval. Good notes are only useful if they are easy to find, so full-text search and topic tags are core parts of the experience, not an afterthought. As the library grows, discovery remains fast and predictable.

For implementation details and setup guidance, see the project documentation in the repository. For privacy and data handling specifics, review the privacy policy before using the app in production.

Technical background on the framework is available in the Next.js documentation.

As the product evolves, we keep the same core principle: every feature should reduce rewatching and improve recall. If a feature looks impressive but does not improve decision speed or comprehension, it does not belong in the default workflow.
