Finally, a YouTube app that respects your time. Paste a link, get the answer in text, in audio, in your language without sitting through a 47-minute video for the 4-minute point. Want the gist of a two-hour podcast before your coffee goes cold? Paste. Scroll. Done. Want to know if a video is clickbait before you hit play? Transcribr tells you in seconds - nothing else on iOS ships this. Want a long interview as audio you can take on a run, a commute, or into the kitchen? Pick from 100+ natural voices across 50+ languages. Lock the screen, tuck the phone away - the audio keeps going. New here? Start a free trial, paste your first link, and see Transcribr work before you decide. WHAT'S INSIDE • A summary tuned to the time you have - a 30-second read, a focused briefing, or the full picture when the topic deserves it. • Ask the video anything. Answers come from what the video actually said - no guessing. • A comments digest that surfaces the real debate, the corrections, and the jokes - without the sludge. • A clickbait warning so you can skip the time-sinks before you click. • 100+ voices, 50+ languages, background audio, and playback at the speed you want. • Playlists and channels, not just single videos. Queue a whole creator's back catalog. • A Share Extension that sends any link straight in - from Safari, Messages, Mail, wherever. WHO IT'S FOR • The grad student with 14 lectures to get through by Thursday. • The PM who needs the one insight buried at minute 38 of a product interview. • The parent catching up on a cooking channel with both hands full of onion. • The skeptic who'd rather read the summary than sit through a sponsor read. • The language learner who wants the same video in Spanish, then in English, then slower. ONE DEVELOPER, ONE APP Transcribr is made by one person who got tired of watching 90-minute videos for the 4-minute answer. No in-app ads. No endless feed. No "engagement" traps. Just the tool I wanted to exist. Give it a link you've been putting off watching. See what happens. A Transcribr Premium subscription is required to use the app's features, and a free trial is available for new users.

Set a Session Limit to keep each visit short. Add a Daily Limit, Blocked Hours, or Always Blocked when you want stronger boundaries. BREAK THE SCROLL, NOT YOUR SOCIAL LIFE When a limit is reached, ScrollKick interrupts the scroll.
