Paste or share a public YouTube link. Takewise retrieves the available transcript and turns it into a structured, timestamped take—without making you copy the transcript into ChatGPT or another AI first.
No watchlists. No "I'll get to it later." Takewise turns long videos into short summaries that lower screen time and make learning easier to keep.
Share-sheet from the YouTube app, or paste a URL straight in. Works on talks, podcasts, lectures, and interviews when the public video's transcript and metadata are available.
Not a paragraph summary. The thesis in one sentence, the four insights underneath it, the surprising twist — structured to be read in thirty seconds.
Every take is searchable, threaded, and built to chat with later. Pull a quote, ask a follow-up, screenshot the whole thing for friends — without sending them a 90-minute link.
Here's a real take we summarized from Naval Ravikant's hour-long essay-as-podcast. Read it in thirty seconds, save the screen time, share it as one image, and ask follow-ups when you need more.
"You won't get rich renting out your time. The richest own equity in something that scales without them."
A summary you never look at again is worse than not having one. Takewise is engineered around durability: every take is meant to replace unnecessary screen time, answer follow-up questions, and still be useful in a year.
Hit share, pick Takewise, get a take by the time you're back on your home screen. No copying, no pasting, no app-switching.
Every take searchable in plain English. "What did Naval say about leverage?" lands on the right sentence, not another video to rewatch.
Follow-ups cite the timestamp they're pulled from. Disagree with the take, ask for the strongest counter, get a new one in five seconds.
Every take is composed to be shared as a single image — typeset, attributed, and self-branded. Send takes, not links.
Takewise is an independent app — not affiliated with YouTube or Google. Here's how it handles data, the ground rules, and where to reach us.
