ScriptSnapYour transcripts stay yours.
What ScriptSnap handles
- Transcript text of the video you are watching. ScriptSnap reads the captions of the current YouTube video so it can show, search, copy and download them. The text is processed in your browser, and it is only saved or moved when you choose to copy it or download a file.
- Your settings, such as default download format, timestamps on or off, theme and panel position. These are saved with Chrome's storage feature and may sync between your own Chrome browsers if you use Chrome sync.
- Lines you star. The start times of starred lines are saved in Chrome's local storage on your device.
What ScriptSnap does not do
- It does not collect personal information, browsing history, location or account details.
- It does not send any data to the developer. ScriptSnap has no servers.
- It does not sell or share data with third parties, or use it for advertising, credit or lending decisions.
- It does not run on any website except www.youtube.com.
Network requests
To load a transcript, ScriptSnap requests the transcript and caption data for the current video from youtube.com, the same data YouTube uses for its own transcript panel. These requests go only to YouTube and are covered by Google's privacy policy.
AI prompts
If you use the AI tools, ScriptSnap copies a prompt and the transcript to your clipboard and opens the AI website you picked (ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini). Nothing is sent automatically. The text only reaches that service if you paste it in yourself, and that service's own privacy policy then applies.
