I kept losing track of good moments while researching YouTube videos for Shorts. Built this to fix my own workflow.
Shorts Composer is a Chrome side panel that sits next to YouTube:
š¬ Q/E keys to mark clip in/out points + add notes
š Auto-collects comment timestamps ("3:42 š„" ones)
š Extracts subtitles as TXT or SRT
š¾ Export as JSON, TXT, or SRT
No account, no server, no tracking.
