Your YouTube subscriptions,
summarized automatically
Connect your YouTube account once. Sumdown periodically checks your subscriptions in the background and turns new videos into readable summaries — automatically, no manual work.
Why Sumdown
YouTube is an incredible knowledge base. Sumdown helps you keep up.
The best educators, researchers, and creators publish on YouTube every day, making your subscriptions agoldmine of knowledge. But there's more great content than hours in the day — you can't watch everything, so insights slip through the cracks. Sumdown runs in the background and turns new uploads into short, readable summaries, so you can find what matters and return to the original video.
