Hi everyone! I built this because I kept wasting time scrubbing through long YouTube videos just to find one specific part someone mentioned.
It pulls the full transcript of any YouTube video — with timestamps — completely free, no sign-up required. Just paste a link and get clean, searchable text you can copy or download instantly. Works with multiple caption languages too.
Built it solo, running on my own server, no paid APIs involved. Would love your feedback — what would make this more useful for you?

The fact that it works without any sign-up wall is honestly the best UX call here. Timestamps included by default without having to toggle a setting is a nice touch too, really respects the writer's time.

@recep743659 Appreciate that — respecting people's time was actually the whole design philosophy behind it. Every extra step (signup, settings, toggles) is one more reason someone bounces before getting what they came for, so defaulting to "just works" felt like the right call.
Glad the timestamps-by-default choice is landing well. Thanks for taking the time to try it out! 🙌

the no-sign-up thing is honestly such a relief, you know? most tools lock that behind an account wall. clean output with timestamps intact is genuinely useful for pulling quotes. nice work

@ezgiimq3 Thanks so much — that's exactly the frustration that pushed me to build it! Account walls for something this simple always felt unnecessary, especially when you just need to grab one quote and move on.
Really glad the timestamps are landing well for you. If you ever run into a video where something doesn't extract cleanly, let me know — always looking to make it more reliable. 🙏
