03Local Markdown

Your knowledge base lives on your computer.

No proprietary database. No account required. Just Markdown files you can keep forever — every line timestamped back to the exact moment on YouTube.

  • .md

    No export step. Your folder is the knowledge base — open it in Obsidian, VS Code, or any text tool.

  • Searchable

    Grep it, index it, sync it. Your notes play well with the tools you already use.

Build your YouTube knowledge base.

One video or fifty. Keep every transcript as Markdown.
