Use tool ↗About Tubly
Tubly is a Chrome extension and web app that reads your YouTube subscriptions and the video you are currently watching, then produces a summary, a chapter and topic list whose entries deep-link to the exact moment on YouTube, and a full editable transcript you can copy in one click. A chat side panel answers questions about the video, and highlights and timestamp clips can be saved and revisited without replaying anything. The terms name Brazil as the governing jurisdiction. Billing is a Stripe subscription: a free trial, then 4.99 dollars a month, which also carries a newsletter of summarised videos.

Pros & cons of Tubly
The useful part is not the summary — everyone does summaries — it is that the chapters link back to the timestamp, so the summary is a table of contents rather than a replacement for watching. At five dollars a month with the extension running on every watch page it is priced like a browser utility, which is what it is.
Pros
- Chapters and topics deep-link to the exact second on YouTube
- Full editable transcripts exportable in one click
- Chat panel answers questions against the video on the watch page itself
- Saved highlights and timestamp clips persist without replaying the video
- Flat $4.99 a month with no credit metering
Cons
- No free tier — only a trial, then the card is charged automatically
- No refunds for partial billing periods, per the terms
- Company details are limited to a Brazilian governing-law clause; no registered entity is named
- Nothing outside YouTube is supported
Best for
- Deciding whether a long video is worth watching
- Pulling a transcript for notes or research
