Hey Product Hunt 👋 YouTube has become the world's largest classroom, newsroom, and library but it's designed to keep you watching, not to help you learn. The algorithm decides what you see. Thumbnails are engineered for clicks, not clarity. And a 45-minute video might deliver one insight you actually needed but you won't know until you've watched the whole thing. Meanwhile, the channels you deliberately subscribed to, the ones you actually trust get buried under recommendations you never asked for. I built Rundown because I wanted the opposite: a calm, daily email that tells me what my channels posted, what each video actually covers, and whether it's worth my time. No algorithm. No autoplay. No rabbit hole. Just a morning digest I read over coffee, then I go watch the videos that actually matter. How it works: Connect your YouTube account, pick which channels to follow, and every morning you get an email with structured summaries, key points, and a "worth watching if..." recommendation for each new video. You decide what deserves 45 minutes of your attention. What's live today: - Daily digest email with AI-generated summaries - Timestamped key points so you can jump to what matters - "Worth watching if..." is a one-line verdict on relevance - Free tier: 15 summaries/month, Plus: €8.99/month for 150 What's not yet: - Search across your past summaries (building this next) - Notion/Obsidian export - Podcast and non-YouTube support For Product Hunt: Free month of Plus with code PHRUN2026. Limited to the first 10 people who redeem it. I'd love some honest feedback and whether this can actually be an integral part on how people are consuming content today!
