Why it works

Built for videos you save and never come back to

The Watch Later graveyard exists because you saved things you'd have skipped if you'd known what was in them. That podcast you saved last month might have one useful answer buried in it — Claras tells you what's inside, in seconds.

Ask instead of watching

Ask "what did they say about pricing?" or "what's the main takeaway?" and get an answer pulled from the full transcript. No searching, no rewatching.

The TL;DR in seconds

Claras reads the transcript and pulls out the key points, so you can decide whether a video is worth your time before you commit.

Click any section, it jumps there

Every video is broken into chapters with timestamps. Skip the parts you don't need, replay the parts you do — one click to the exact moment.

Export to your LLM projects

Send full transcripts to Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, or NotebookLM to build knowledge bases and research assistants.

Highlight & save for later

Highlight the key insights and save them in one place. Everything stays searchable and organized.

Understands almost any video

Podcasts, lectures, tutorials, interviews — if it has captions, Claras understands it, in dozens of languages.

FAQ

Everything you might be wondering

What is the "Watch Later graveyard"?
It's the pile of videos you saved with good intentions and never came back to. Claras summarizes each one so you finally know what's inside — and which are worth your time.
Do I have to watch the whole video?
No. Read the AI summary, ask a direct question, or jump to a single chapter. You only watch the parts that actually matter to you.
Does it cost anything?
Claras is free to install with no credit card. Paid plans remove the daily limit and add bulk summarizing for whole playlists and searches.
Which videos does it work on?
Any public video with captions — around 99% of YouTube, including podcasts, lectures, and long interviews, in dozens of languages.
