Here's how it works: Click the HoverNotes icon on any video to open side-by-side mode with the video on the left and your notes on the right. Choose where to save in your Obsidian vault, and everything gets stored as markdown files on your computer.

#What Makes Us Different

• Real-Time AI Notes: Our AI watches alongside you, seeing charts, equations, and visual content on screen
• Multilingual Support: Get notes in Chinese, Korean, Spanish, or any language - perfect for international students
• Timestamped Screenshots: Capture key visual moments with automatic timestamps
• Live Obsidian Sync: Notes sync directly to your vault as you write them
• True Video Understanding: We capture complex equations and visual content, not just transcripts

#A Real Example

Imagine watching a complex math video on YouTube. Instead of pausing every few seconds to write notes, you:

1. Click the HoverNotes icon on the video
2. Choose your Obsidian folder where notes will be saved
3. Let AI capture equations and explanations while you focus on understanding
4. Take timestamped screenshots of key visual moments
5. Watch everything sync to your Obsidian vault in real-time

The result? That complex equation the instructor just explained is now permanently captured in your knowledge system, connected to everything else you've learned. You'll never need to rewatch that video just to find that one piece of information.

This is how you build a real knowledge system from video content.

#A Personal Note

HoverNotes was born from our own frustration with forgetting valuable insights from videos we'd watched. We tried existing tools, but they all missed something crucial - true integration with our knowledge systems and respect for our data ownership.

We built HoverNotes to solve our own problem, and we're excited to share it with fellow knowledge builders.

"Your knowledge belongs to you. HoverNotes ensures it stays that way while making it more accessible and connected than ever before." - HoverNotes Team

Welcome to a new way of learning from videos. We can't wait to see the knowledge systems you'll build.
