01
Watch
Start with the video in TubeFlow, where notes and research context stay nearby.
Notes
Capture notes as you watch
TubeFlow Notes lets you capture takeaways, timestamps, questions, and follow-ups next to the video you are reviewing.
Notes workflow
Go from watching to reusable research
The notes workflow is built around the moment of review: keep the video close, capture what matters, then make the result easy to return to.
02
Capture
Write down the useful moment, question, or follow-up without leaving the video.
03
Structure
Use headings, formatting, labels, and timestamp links to make the note readable later.
04
Reuse
Copy, export, or add notes to research groups so they are easy to find later.
Structured writing
Write with the blocks research needs
Use headings, quotes, code blocks, tables, task lists, links, and labels to capture the details a video review actually produces.
- Add quotes, checklists, and code snippets
- Organize details with headings, tables, and links
- Label notes so they are easier to find later
AI summaries to notes
Turn AI summaries into notes you can edit
When a video needs a faster first pass, generate a quick or detailed AI summary, then save it as a note so the result can become part of your research workflow.
- Generate a summary from a saved video when you need the main points faster
- Save the result as a note instead of leaving it in a temporary summary view
- Edit, label, export, or group the saved note with the rest of your research
Research retrieval
Organize notes inside research groups
Add notes to groups alongside the playlists, channels, and videos they belong with, so each research group keeps its sources and takeaways in one place.

Continue the research with context intact
Start with a video, capture the useful moments, and keep the note close enough to the source that it still makes sense weeks later.
