Does it work with any YouTube video?

It works with any video that has a transcript (either auto-generated captions or manually uploaded subtitles). Most videos have auto-generated captions.

Can I save videos from the mobile app?

Yes. Use the share sheet on iOS or Android to share a YouTube video to Screvi. On the web, you can also paste the video URL in Articles > Add Article.

Are the timestamps accurate?

Timestamps come from the video's transcript data, so they're as accurate as the transcript itself. For auto-generated captions, they're typically accurate within a second or two.

The problem with YouTube highlights

You watch hours of educational YouTube content but have no way to capture and revisit the key ideas. Timestamps in comments are unreliable. Your "Watch Later" playlist is a graveyard. The ideas from great videos disappear the moment you close the tab.

How Screvi solves it

Screvi saves YouTube videos with their full transcript. You can highlight specific passages with timestamps that link back to the exact moment in the video. Those highlights join your library alongside your books, articles, and tweets.
