Too Long Didn't Watch: Summarize YouTube videos instantly. TLDW (Too Long, Didn’t Watch) For the chosen few who’d rather know the insight than experience the filler. TLDW reads the entire transcript of any YouTube video and spits out a clean, punchy summary—so you don’t have to suffer through awkward intros, sponsored shoutouts, or 12-minute rants about "backstory." How TLDW Works (Free vs Subscription) 🔓 Free Version (Right Now) To use TLDW, you’ll need to enter your own OpenAI API key. Why? This lets you run the summaries directly from your own OpenAI account. It’s fast, private, and very cheap (most users pay pennies a month). If that sounds confusing, don’t worry — here’s a step-by-step guide » (You can also paste the full step-by-step instructions we just made here.) 💳 Subscription Version (Coming Soon) We’re working on a paid version where: No API key needed Just install → click → summarize. We’ll handle all the backend and billing for you. Perfect for non-techies or people who want everything handled for them. 🔑 How to Get Your Own OpenAI API Key This will let TLDW summarize videos using your own access.
