Sidenote

In plain words

Sidenote is a free tool for creating timestamped notes on YouTube videos. Users can write summaries and annotations synchronized to specific moments in videos, making it easy to reference and jump back to relevant sections. The platform allows users to browse notes created by others and create their own, making it useful for anyone watching educational content, conference talks, or other video material they want to document and recall later.

From the sources

I created Sidenote for myself, to write summaries of conference talks and content-rich videos, so I could easily jump back to the moment of the video that’s referred in my notes. Sidenote is free to use, you can browse others' notes and create your own!
