FOR STUDENTS

Learn more from YouTube in less time

Rundown extracts every upload from your educational channels into the shape that matches its content. A lecture becomes concepts and prerequisites you can revise from. An explainer becomes its central question and takeaways. Decide what's worth watching in 2 minutes instead of scrolling for 2 hours, and build a study library as you go.

THE PROBLEM

YouTube is the best free education platform. It's also the biggest time sink.

You follow channels for your courses, for exam prep, for topics you're genuinely curious about. But every time you open YouTube to learn, you lose an hour to the algorithm before you even find what you needed. The subscription feed mixes a 45-minute calculus lecture with a 10-second short and a gaming video.

Watch Later is where good intentions go to die. You save 30 videos, watch 2, and the list becomes another source of guilt. You need a way to know what's worth your time without spending all your time figuring it out.

HOW RUNDOWN SOLVES IT

Less scrolling, more learning

One email. Everything your channels posted.

Every morning, Rundown sends you a digest of new uploads from the channels you follow. Each video gets a summary, key points with timestamps, and a quick verdict on whether it's worth your time. Scan it in 2 minutes and only watch what actually helps.

Timestamps that save hours

Every summary includes timestamped key points. Skip the 10-minute intro and jump straight to the proof at 14:22 or the worked example at 31:05. Get the value from a 45-minute lecture in 5 minutes of targeted watching.

An exam-ready knowledge base

Every summary is saved. Before an exam, search your library for the topic and find every video that covered it, with the key points already extracted. It's like having notes from every lecture you never had time to take.

EXAM WEEK

The studying you didn't have time to do

It's exam week. You followed 8 physics channels all semester but you definitely didn't watch every upload.

You search your Rundown library for "electromagnetic induction" and find 6 videos that covered it across 3 different channels. Each has key points and timestamps. You watch the 3 most relevant segments, (12 minutes total) instead of rewatching 4 hours of full lectures.

Your library did the studying you didn't have time to do.

Common questions from students

How does Rundown help students?

Rundown monitors the educational YouTube channels you follow and sends a daily email with AI summaries of new uploads. You see key points, timestamps, and a recommendation on whether each video is worth watching. Everything is saved in a searchable library you can revisit during exam prep.

Is Rundown free for students?

Yes. Rundown offers a free tier with 15 summaries per month, unlimited channels, and full access to the searchable library. No credit card required.

Can I use Rundown to find specific topics across videos?

Yes. Every summary is archived in a searchable knowledge base. Search by topic (like "electromagnetic induction" or "recursion in Python") and find every video in your library that covered it, with timestamps to jump straight to the relevant section.

Will Rundown make me lazy or replace studying?

Rundown helps you decide where to spend your time, not skip the learning. The summaries tell you which videos and which moments are worth watching properly. You still watch the parts that matter, but you stop wasting hours on videos that turn out not to help you.
