A Glasp alternative for YouTube
Glasp is loved for highlighting and saving takeaways from articles and YouTube videos, usually through a browser extension. MyShorts is a web-based alternative focused on YouTube: paste a link and it reads the full transcript to produce a structured summary with timestamps and clean, editable notes — no extension to install. For anyone who watches to learn, that means turning a lecture, tutorial or podcast into revision-ready notes in seconds, then reshaping them in your own words before you export.
Summaries, Q&A and Shorts in one place
Where MyShorts goes further is acting on what you've captured. The same link gives you grounded Q&A that answers from the transcript with a timestamp, a searchable transcript you can download as SRT, and face-aware 9:16 Shorts cut from the best moments. So a video becomes notes you keep, answers you can trust, and clips you can publish — a single tool for learning from and creating with YouTube, rather than a highlighter plus a stack of separate apps.
One video, everything
MyShorts does more than this.
The same YouTube link powers every one of these.
