The Best Video Study Tool & Note-Taker

The internet is packed with incredible educational content, from university lectures to coding tutorials on YouTube, Vimeo, and more. But passively watching a video isn't enough to retain the information. WatchOnRepeat transforms passive watching into an interactive study session.

Beating the YouTube Algorithm

The biggest challenge when studying online is the attention economy. Standard video platforms are designed to distract you. Their recommendation algorithms, autoplay features, and flashy sidebars are engineered to pull you away from a boring 2-hour university lecture and into an endless rabbit hole of entertainment. WatchOnRepeat physically removes the "Up Next" sidebar, hides comments, and strips away the distraction algorithm entirely. By importing your lecture into our player, you are creating a digital sandbox where the only focus is the educational content in front of you.

The Feynman Technique & Looping

The Feynman Technique is a mental model designed to help you learn anything faster by explaining it in plain language. But how do you apply it to online videos? Did the professor explain a complex math equation too quickly? Use our A/B Looper to isolate that specific 30-second explanation. Let it repeat while you process the information. Then, hit pause, and force yourself to explain the concept out loud as if you were teaching a beginner. If you stumble, let the loop play one more time.

Building a Second Brain with Timestamps

Throw away the messy paper notes that lose their context. Our built-in Notes dashboard allows you to type notes right alongside the video. Every time you press enter, your note is automatically tagged with the exact timestamp of the video. This effectively turns a massive 3-hour lecture into an indexed database. When reviewing for an exam, simply click the timestamp to instantly jump back to that exact moment in the lecture. Create a free account to automatically save your notes and playlists to the cloud. You can study on your laptop in the library, and review your timestamped "Second Brain" on your phone on the bus ride home.
