What it does

HoverNotes is a Chrome extension that watches videos in your browser and writes structured Markdown notes. It captures code, equations, and diagrams that transcripts miss, and saves notes to a local Obsidian vault. It works on YouTube, Udemy, Coursera, and other platforms, and includes Live Translate for hearing videos in your language.

HoverNotes is a Chrome extension for people who learn from video and want notes they can keep. It watches the screen, not just the captions, so code blocks, formulas, and diagrams end up in your notes. Notes are plain Markdown stored locally, ready for Obsidian, Logseq, or Roam. One click adds a timestamped screenshot. A focused workspace opens beside the video, and playback runs from 0.1x to 16x with pitch preserved. Live Translate dubs the speaker into your language. The homepage lists support for YouTube, Udemy, Coursera, and other platforms, plus local files.
