InsightTube feels like YouTube — but built for learning. Search any topic, open any channel you follow, and AI instantly highlights what matters. It summarizes ideas, breaks videos into chapters, generates multilingual subtitles, and lets you chat with the content.
Every day there are new AI tools, new ideas, new technologies. But most knowledge now spreads through long videos, and honestly… we struggle to keep up.
Watching everything takes too much time. Skipping around isn’t learning. And note-taking from video is still painful in 2025.
So for the past month, we built the tool we wished existed — a faster way to learn from YouTube.
Introducing InsightTube 🎉 YouTube for learning — not just watching.
It lets you: 🔍 Search YouTube directly inside the app ⭐ Subscribe to channels you follow ⚡ Get summaries & insights in seconds 🧭 Jump with auto-generated chapters 🌏 Read subtitles + translations (even if the video has none) 💬 Chat with the content & ask questions 📁 Save processed videos & revisit important moments
Perfect for anyone who learns from video — students, researchers, developers, creators, curious minds.
We’re still early, but the way InsightTube changed how we watch YouTube feels undeniable — and already 2,000+ users are learning faster because of it.
For our launch, all AI features are unlocked & free for a limited time. If you try it and have thoughts — good, bad, sharp — hit us. Your voice helps shape what InsightTube becomes 🙏
congratulations on the launch, this looks like a very solid app and amazing spin on managing YouTube. I wish you all the best with InsightTube!
Do you have plans to roll out a desktop web version later on? I mostly watch longer tutorials on my laptop (not my phone), so being able to pull up InsightTube right in my browser (instead of switching apps) would make this even more seamless for my daily learning workflow. Also—any thoughts on integrating with note-taking tools like Notion, so I can dump those summaries or key chapter points directly into my study docs without copying and pasting?
Love this! I'm exhausted by 2 hour podcasts that seem mildly helpful but come with no notes or summaries. If this works properly I'd be a super regular user
Very useful tool. It would be more powerful if it could integrate with my YouTube account and pull in my recommendations, saved items, and watch-later list.
Super useful, especially the instant summaries and chapters. This fixes one of the biggest pain points of learning from video. Congrats on the launch!
YouTube is amazing for learning but impossible to keep up with. InsightTube feels like the missing layer that turns videos into actual study material. Does it handle super long content too, like 3–4 hour deep-dive lectures or podcast videos?
I've been going through the hassle of copying the video link and pasting it in gemini every time so I always thought something like this would be handy. Gotta give it a go!
EDIT: Will wait for android support :)
Been drowning in YT tutorials lately. 2hr videos, zero notes. This looks like a sane way through: summaries, quick chapters, subs. Can it chew through long livestreams too? Installing—will poke at my backlog tonight.
Interesting! Do you plan on making a browser version?
Also, how does the login work? Does it still use my own account? or is it just public stuff?
Will it be in English as well? I can see only Chinese text in the App Store.
Hey PH friends 👋
