HoverNotes is a Chrome extension that transforms video tutorials from platforms like YouTube, Udemy, Coursera, and Bilibili into distraction-free, AI-generated Markdown notes stored directly in your Obsidian (or any local) vault. It watches the video in real time, capturing key concepts, code snippets, equations, diagrams, and timestamped screenshots, surpassing transcript-only tools by understanding visual content. It presents a split-view learning environment, removing ads and recommendations while letting users edit notes as they generate, ensuring improved retention and accuracy. With full local-first storage and Obsidian integration, it gives users complete control over their knowledge. The free plan includes basic features with 20 minutes of AI processing, while paid tiers unlock hours of AI note-taking, advanced summaries, priority support, and unlimited use.

TaskNote is a note-taking app with a kanban board and reminders, built for one person rather than a team. Notes have rich formatting (headings, checklists, tables, columns, images, highlights) and are stored as Markdown, so they open anywhere. Any note can be turned into a task or attached to a kanban card; reminders fire desktop notifications at the time you set. Full-text search, a command palette, version history, trash, split view with up to six notes side by side, and built-in templates (shopping list, daily plan, brain dump, meeting notes and more). Import from Evernote, Google Keep, Notion, Simplenote and Markdown; a Chrome extension clips web pages into notes. The Windows app keeps everything in a local file, runs without an account and works fully offline. The web version syncs with end-to-end encryption: the key never leaves your device and the server stores only ciphertext. Free plan with no time limit; a one-time Lifetime licence on Windows instead of a subscription.
