What is Snipo?

Snipo is a learning tool that turns YouTube videos into timestamped Notion notes and flashcards. A Chrome extension that adds a side-by-side note panel to YouTube, capturing timestamped notes, screenshots and transcripts and sending them to Notion, plus an AI flashcard maker with Anki export.

Snipo is a Chrome extension that turns passive video watching into structured study material. While a video plays, it opens a note-taking panel next to the player so notes can be written without leaving the page, and each line is stamped with the moment in the video where it was captured. From the same panel, viewers can grab a screenshot of any chart, graph or slide, and pull the video transcript for reference or reuse. The tool was built around Notion: notes land in a Notion workspace, and the layout is designed to sit naturally inside both YouTube and Notion rather than feeling like a separate app. Beyond note capture, Snipo generates AI flashcards from a learning video or any webpage, files them into custom decks, and exports them to Anki with a single click. Playlists and courses can be synced to Notion in one action, so a whole series of lectures becomes a single organized set of notes instead of dozens of scattered pages. Small conveniences matter for study flow. Keyboard shortcuts control playback speed, pause, and capture without reaching for the mouse, which keeps attention on the video. The tool reports 50,000+ users and shows logos of large employers and universities among its audience, a signal that it is being adopted in both workplace learning and higher education. Snipo is aimed at students working through lecture series, professionals watching conference talks and training courses, and anyone who treats YouTube as a learning library rather than entertainment. It competes less with general AI notetakers for meetings and more with manual note-taking plus a separate flashcard app. The pitch is narrow and deliberate: own the specific workflow of watching a video and coming away with durable, reviewable notes.

How do you use Snipo?

  1. 1Install the Chrome extension
    Add Snipo to Chrome from the Web Store listing. The extension installs in the browser and appears when a supported video page is opened.
  2. 2Connect your Notion workspace
    Authorize Snipo to write into Notion so captured notes and decks have somewhere to land. Setup is described as fitting directly into the YouTube and Notion layouts.
  3. 3Open a video and take timestamped notes
    Play a video on YouTube and write notes in the side panel as it runs. Each note records the point in the video where it was taken.
  4. 4Capture screenshots and pull the transcript
    Grab slides, charts or graphs as images, and use the video transcript for detail you did not type out yourself. Use shortcuts to pause and capture without leaving the keyboard.
  5. 5Generate flashcards and export to Anki
    Run the AI flashcard maker on the video or any webpage, save the cards to a custom deck, then export the deck to Anki in one click.
  6. 6Sync a playlist or course
    Send an entire YouTube playlist or learning course into Notion in one action so a full series becomes a single organized note set.
