YiNote

Unfortunately, as of 2026, this extension is no longer functional. As good as it seems, don't waste your time downloading it as clicking on the extension does absolutely nothing while on YouTube. No window, no error message, just... nothing. I thought it was just a bug at first (a minority of people may randomly encounter game-breaking bugs so I understand) but the extension simply... refuses to open? Not quite sure what's happening but, like I said, don't waste your time with this one.

Doesn't work for at all, you click the extension icon, nothing happens! SAD 😐, it looked like a really simple and useful extension, at least in the videos. but its dead now!

Doesn't work for at all!

Cant export file without paying for pro version even when i am using community version...

It doesn't work

Awesome product, it helps me a lot to give video assignment with my students. And it's free!

The panel issue seems to be fixed in the latest version. Congrats on the acquisition, looking forwards to the new features!

Literally useless since you can't close the panel once opened.

I liked the really clean UI and how intuitive it is. Defiantly cleaner than a lot of the other popular chrome extensions for taking notes on YouTube . But a deal breaker for me was that I was not able to close the tab on the side with out unpinning the entire extension.
