channels tracked

You subscribe to 50+ channels.
You can't watch them all.

The backlog never shrinks

New videos pile up faster than you can get to them. At some point you just stop trying.

Watching takes your full attention

On a commute, at the gym, cooking dinner. Your ears are free but a 40-minute video isn't happening.

How it works

Three steps to set up. Stay in control.

Step 1

Add your YouTube channels

Paste a channel URL, a handle like @MKBHD, or import your YouTube subscriptions in one click.

Step 2

See every new video in one clean inbox

Instead of scrolling YouTube, browse the new uploads from the channels you follow in one feed. No recommendations, no rabbit holes.

Step 3

What you actually get

Browse what's new. Pick what's worth reading or listening to.

You decide what gets summarized

Browse new videos from your channels in one feed. Click "Summarize" on the ones that look worth your time. No more auto-generated noise you'll never read.

Summaries that go beyond the title

The AI covers the main arguments, examples, and takeaways. Not just a rephrased headline.

Read it or listen to it. Your call.

Short text summaries for quick skimming, or neural TTS audio for when your hands are busy. Both available on every summary.

Questions people actually ask

No. You can switch to manual mode, browse new videos from your channels in your BriefTube inbox, and pick which ones to summarize. Great if you follow big channels and only care about specific topics. Prefer full auto? Keep it on, or toggle it per channel.
Yeah, it is. We keep things lean: no big cloud infra, shared processing across users for the same video, free TTS. The goal was to build something I'd actually pay for myself, so the price had to make sense.
When a channel you follow uploads, the video lands in your BriefTube inbox. You click "Summarize" on the ones worth your time, or enable auto mode to have them all summarized ahead of time. Summaries come as text and audio, and you can push them to Telegram, Discord, Slack, or a private podcast feed.
55 languages are supported, including English, French, Spanish, German, Japanese, and Arabic. BriefTube detects the language of the video and matches it automatically. Pro users can also pick a specific voice from several options per language.
However you prefer. They're always in your BriefTube dashboard. You can also subscribe to a private podcast RSS feed and listen in any podcast app, or connect Telegram, Discord, or Slack to get them pushed directly. All of it is optional, use what fits your workflow.
BriefTube uses the word-for-word transcript of the video, pulled directly from YouTube. If no transcript is available (rare), Whisper transcribes the audio. The summary is always built exclusively from what was said in the video, nothing is added or invented.
Skip the rest.

Add your YouTube channels. New videos land in one inbox. Hit "Summarize" on the ones worth your time, then read it, listen to it, or get it as a podcast. No algorithm pushing what you should watch.

You can't tell what's worth watching until you've already watched it

That one video with the insight you actually needed? You'll probably never find it in time.

Summarize the ones worth it

Click "Summarize" on any video you want. Get it as text, audio, or a private podcast feed. Prefer full auto? Switch it on per channel.

Fast enough to be useful

Most summaries arrive within a few minutes of a video going live. Sometimes faster.

55 languages supported

English, French, Spanish, German, Japanese, Arabic and 49 more. Pick the one that works for you. Pro users can also choose the specific voice.

No channel limit on Pro

Follow as many channels as you want. We don't arbitrarily cap it.

Delivered your way
