How it works

Know what's in any video
before you commit to it

Open YouTube. Hit Create Stack. That's it.

01

Open any video

Any video with captions works — which is almost all of them. Lectures, tutorials, podcasts, finance, cooking. All of it.

02

Hit "Create Stack"

The TubeStack panel lives right in YouTube's sidebar. One click and the AI gets to work — no new tabs, no copy-pasting.

03

AI breaks it down

Not a wall of text — structured cards grouped by topic, so you can scan the whole video in under a minute.

04

Dive in or jump around

Flip through cards to get the gist. Tap any timestamp to jump straight to that moment — no scrubbing, no guessing.


Features

Your shortcut through
any YouTube video

Most YouTube summarizers give you a paragraph and call it done. TubeStack gives you the whole video, broken into cards you can actually navigate.

Lives inside YouTube

No new tab. No app switching. The panel opens right next to the video — see what's inside without leaving the page.

🃏

Cards, not a wall of text

The video is broken into bite-sized topic cards. Scan the whole thing in 60 seconds and decide if it's worth your full attention.

🕐

Jump to any moment

Every card links to the exact second in the video. Tap to jump straight there — no scrubbing, no rewinding.

📄

Keep what matters

Export the cards and take them anywhere — your notes app, a doc, a message to a friend. Your takeaways, your format.

🔄

Follows you everywhere

Sign in with Google and your stacks are on every device. Pick up where you left off, whenever you want.

🎙

Any video, any topic

Podcasts, interviews, news, tutorials, cooking, finance — if it has a CC button, TubeStack can break it down.

FAQ

Before you decide

Is TubeStack a YouTube summarizer?
Yes — TubeStack is a YouTube summarizer that goes one step further. Instead of one long summary paragraph, it breaks the video into topic-grouped cards with timestamp links, so you can scan the whole thing in under a minute and jump to any moment that matters.
How does TubeStack summarize YouTube videos?
TubeStack reads the video's caption transcript and runs it through AI to build structured cards grouped by topic. It works on any video with auto-generated or manually uploaded captions — which covers the vast majority of YouTube videos.
Does it work on all YouTube videos?
Yes for almost all videos — podcasts, tutorials, interviews, TED talks, news, cooking, finance. If YouTube shows a CC button on the video, TubeStack can summarize it. Music videos with no speech won't generate useful cards.
Is TubeStack free to use?
Yes — TubeStack is free to install and use. Add it to Chrome from the Web Store and start summarizing videos immediately with no account required.
Do I need to leave YouTube to use it?
Not at all. TubeStack lives right inside YouTube's sidebar. Open a video, click Create Stack, and the cards appear next to the video — no new tab, no copy-pasting, no context switching.

Stop watching blind.
Know what's inside first.

Most people sit through an entire video to find out if it was worth it. TubeStack shows you in 30 seconds.
