Annotated Web
Entertainment
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Clip a YouTube moment. Annotate an article. React to a tweet. Annotated turns passive scrolling into active thinking — share what you read with the people who care.
Annotated is a social platform for people who read like it matters.
Highlight a 90-second YouTube clip. Pull a passage from an article. React to a tweet or Reddit post. Clip a moment from a Spotify podcast. Then
write your take — a margin note, a reaction, a thought worth sharing.
Every annotation links back to the original content. Your friends see the source and your thinking side by side.
HOW IT WORKS
Share any URL to Annotated from Safari, YouTube, X, Reddit, Spotify, or any app. We'll detect the content type and walk you through creating your
annotation:
- For YouTube videos: scrub through and clip up to 90 seconds, then add your title and annotation
- For tweets and Reddit posts: the full post is embedded alongside your annotation
- For articles: highlight a passage, give it a title, write your take
- For Spotify podcasts: set clip timestamps, then annotate the moment
Your annotation gets a title, your handwritten note, and a link to the original — all in one card.
WHAT MAKES ANNOTATED DIFFERENT
This isn't a bookmarking app. It's not a read-later queue. Annotated is for people who want to do something with what they consume — mark it up,
respond to it, share it with context.
- No algorithmic feed. Just annotations from people you follow.
- No infinite scroll. Every piece of content is something someone thought was worth annotating.
- Annotations are the content. Not likes, not reshares — your actual thinking.
