ReelNotes is a focused space for writing notes alongside video and audio — with every note anchored in time.
Instead of juggling documents, players, links, and timelines, ReelNotes brings watching, listening, and note-taking into one calm workspace. Every note stays connected to the exact moment it was written, so you can return to it instantly, review ideas in sequence, and build a clearer understanding over time.
Whether you’re studying, researching, editing, logging footage, reviewing references, or listening closely to long-form audio, ReelNotes helps you stay present with the material.
Write in time
Every note is linked to playback time. Jump back to the exact moment a thought was captured, scan your notes as a timeline, or move through a project by following ideas in sequence.
ReelNotes supports both video and audio projects, so the same time-based workflow works whether you’re reviewing a film, a podcast, an interview, or research material.
Work the way your project needs
ReelNotes now includes multiple layouts for different ways of thinking and working:
Canvas for a spacious, writing-first experience
Timeline for reviewing notes visually across time
Quick Log for fast, uninterrupted capture during playback
You can move between layouts depending on the kind of session you’re in — from deep reflection to rapid logging.
Find what matters faster
As projects grow, ReelNotes helps you stay oriented. Search through notes, review them by time, and organise them with labels and visual markers so important moments stay easy to find.
Custom label names and clearer project structure make it easier to shape ReelNotes around your own process.
Built for real media workflows
ReelNotes has grown beyond simple note capture. It now supports:
local video and audio projects
YouTube and Vimeo-based projects for research and reference
richer project controls, including timing and playback settings
thumbnail-based review and visual note context
polished exports for sharing, editing, and documentation
Whether you’re logging selects, reviewing source material, or building research over multiple sessions, ReelNotes is designed to keep the connection between your notes and the media intact.
Share and export with clarity
When it’s time to take your notes elsewhere, ReelNotes offers professional export options that make projects easier to share, review, and use in other workflows.
Private, local-first, and yours to keep
ReelNotes is local-first and built with privacy in mind. Your work stays in your hands, with a workflow designed to feel stable, focused, and distraction-free.
ReelNotes Pro unlocks advanced layouts, professional exports, and full project settings control with a one-time purchase — no subscriptions.
From students and researchers to podcasters, editors, and filmmakers, ReelNotes helps you think clearly in time — and keep every note connected to the moment it came from.
