About ReadTube

ReadTube turns your YouTube subscriptions into a personal newsletter. Instead of a feed built to keep you watching, you get an inbox of new videos from the channels you follow, each with an AI-generated summary and a long-form article you can read, search, and annotate. It works with videos from YouTube and Bilibili.

The goal is simple: keep the ideas you subscribed for and leave the distraction behind. Skim a headline, read a summary in under a minute, or open the full article when a video deserves your attention.
