Learn faster on YouTube

TooLongLink Desktop runs the whole summarizer on your own computer — clearer images, more of them, and 6-hour videos or Twitch VODs finished in 30 minutes or less.

Free for your first 10 videos. Then $60 once for unlimited videos of any length (bring your own Gemini API key). No subscription, no additional fees.

Why the desktop app

The browser version is expensive to run. Run on desktop to save fees.

Images
Clearer visuals, more of them

Running locally means we can pull higher-resolution frames — the charts, graphs, diagrams, tables and before/afters that actually carry the argument.

Speed
No captions? Still fast

Videos without captions are summarized on your machine instead of queued in the cloud. 6-hour YouTube videos and Twitch VODs finish in 30 minutes.

Privacy
Runs on your computer

Your videos and your Gemini API key stay on your machine. Nothing routes through our cloud.

What you get out of every video

Save time

You can read twice as fast as people speak. 300 WPM reading vs 180 WPM speaking.

Clickbait remover

Instead of thumbnails with fire and vague titles like “It finally happened”, “IT’S OVER”, “We need to talk”, “I’m done”, “THE TRUTH”, “This needs to stop” — we give you what the title should actually be.

See visuals

We fetch the relevant visuals that aid understanding, like charts, graphs, diagrams, tables, before/after. No more wasting brain power on stock footage, gameplay footage, the speaker’s face, and other irrelevant visuals placed as filler.

Works on latest and silent videos

We succeed in summarizing even when captions are not available. This helps on videos less than 1 day old. We also work on videos with little or no speech/voiceover.

Receiving videos

When your friend sends you a video that you don’t want to watch, you can get the main ideas instead of watching the whole video.

Sending videos

When you share a YouTube link, your friend or family member will not click on it. Or they will click and only watch 1 minute. Paste our summaries into your message, or else your video links will be ignored.

Short and long summaries

We get to the point with a summary paragraph. More details underneath. Skip to the interesting part. No more getting overwhelmed then forgetting what the point of the video was.

Translate videos YouTube hasn’t

Outputs in English, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Bahasa Indonesia, Bengali, Bulgarian, Chinese (Simplified / Traditional), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Farsi, Finnish, French, German, Gujarati, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Italian, Kannada, Latvian, Lithuanian, Malayalam, Marathi, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu and Vietnamese.

But YouTube already has a summary button!

It does — but those summaries are really short and have no images. This program is slower and more thorough, and it filters the images so you only see the ones worth seeing.

Installing takes about a minute

Step 1
Download and install

Signed and notarized on Mac — it opens on a double-click. On Windows, keep the download and choose “Run anyway”.

Step 2
Paste your Gemini API key

One field in settings. The key never leaves your computer.

Step 3
Paste a link and walk away

Summaries are written to your machine as you go. Come back to the finished thing.
