YiNote is simpler for basic timestamped notes but is unmaintained. Glasp is more modern with AI summaries and social features. But neither offers the complete package for serious learning. MensorAI combines the best of both — timestamped notes like YiNote, AI like Glasp — plus Q&A, a learning library, and spaced repetition.
Instead of adapting a general-purpose tool for YouTube, use the tool built specifically for video learning.
