Glasp is better for free, social highlighting. Readwise is better for serious readers who consume multiple content types. But for YouTube-first learners, both treat video as a secondary feature. MensorAI puts YouTube at the center with a Chrome extension, AI Q&A about video content, and a learning library designed specifically for video notes.
Instead of adapting a general-purpose tool for YouTube, use the tool built specifically for video learning.
