TL;DR, key points and notable moments — each tagged with a timestamp.

Because there is no server in the middle. TubeGist sends the transcript straight from your browser to Anthropic using your key, so nothing passes through us — and there's no subscription needed to cover infrastructure, because there isn't any.

None. There is no account, no analytics and no backend. Your API key and preferences stay in your browser's local storage. See the privacy policy.
