YouTube Notes For Obsidian

Capture key moments from YouTube videos into your own structured notes in Obsidian — with timestamps, transcripts, and personal notes.

Quick Capture (Cmd+Shift+Y): instantly clip a specific moment in a YouTube video

Quick Note (Option+Shift+Y): clip a specific moment with a custom note

YouTube Notes For Obsidian is designed for active learners, not passive consumers. Instead of summarizing entire videos with AI, this extension helps you capture the moments you personally find meaningful — so you can build a powerful, human-centered knowledge base.

The extension saves the current timestamp, title, channel, and a short snippet of transcript for context. Notes are formatted and saved to your Obsidian vault, ready to be linked, expanded, and integrated into your Zettelkasten or second brain.

There is no setup required and no extra plugins needed — just install the Chrome extension and start clipping right away.
