## What is VideoNotes?

VideoNotes turns a recorded lecture into illustrated, source-cited study notes — without uploading the video or creating an account.

FROM VIDEO TO NOTES, ON YOUR DEVICE
Import a lecture, tutorial or talk (or just an audio recording). VideoNotes transcribes the speech, reads on-screen text from slides and boards with Vision OCR, selects the frames that actually carry information, and structures all of it into clean study notes with exact source timestamps.

HAND-DRAWN SKETCHNOTE PAGES
The headline act: VideoNotes renders your notes as beautiful hand-drawn sketchnote pages — headings, key points, arrows, frames and diagrams in a warm, paper-like style with real hand-lettering fonts. Four palettes, deterministic output, and every page traceable back to the source moment it came from.

EVIDENCE, NOT GUESSWORK
VideoNotes treats extracted material as evidence: every cited card links to the exact frame or transcript time it came from. The searchable Evidence Inspector lets you filter by speech or OCR, preview the source at the cited moment, correct anything, and regenerate deterministically. Synthesized summaries are explicitly labeled for review.

14 NOTE FORMATS
The same typed note model can be presented as Illustrated pages, Cornell Notes, a Hierarchical Outline, Q&A Flashcards, Exam Revision, a Timeline, Focus Cards, a Study Guide and more — every format preserves every section, nothing is silently dropped.

STUDY MODE
Built-in spaced-repetition study cards (FSRS) turn your notes into a revision plan, and scrub-to-source jumps you back into the original video at the cited moment.

EXPORT EVERYTHING
Tagged, searchable PDF with a pixel-identical text layer; PNG pages; Markdown; accessible HTML; plain text; structured JSON; DOCX; PPTX; EPUB; even Anki decks.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Transcription, OCR, structuring and sketch rendering all run on-device. No uploads, no account, no analytics.

FREE TO USE - WITH A DAILY LIMIT

VideoNotes is free to download and use, with no account or sign-in required. Every feature listed above is included in the free tier: transcription, slide OCR, all 14 note formats, hand-drawn sketchnotes, Study Mode and every export format.

The free tier covers 3 note generations per day. Once you have used those 3, further generations that day require VideoNotes Pro. Notes you have already made stay fully available, editable and exportable at no cost.

VIDEONOTES PRO - OPTIONAL SUBSCRIPTION

VideoNotes Pro removes the 3-per-day limit and gives unlimited note generation. It is an auto-renewable subscription.

- VideoNotes Pro: $4.99 per month
- New subscribers start with a 1-week free trial

Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically at $4.99 per month unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase. Any unused portion of a free trial period is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
