FAQ
A few things worth knowing before you make Wikeo yours.
01 What does Wikeo do?
Wikeo helps turn the videos you watch into a personal and searchable knowledge base without taking away from the joy of watching. Capture timed notes, screenshots, and highlights, organize your videos with tags and collections, and use our powerful search and filters to find what you need, when you need it.
02 Which platforms does Wikeo support?
Wikeo is built with YouTube in mind and so offers first-class support for the platform right out of the box. Support for more video platforms is planned for the future.
03 Does Wikeo download or store videos?
No. Wikeo stores extracted knowledge, metadata, and your organization (such as tags and collections). It isn't a video hosting or downloading service.
04 How is this different from bookmarks or Watch Later?
Bookmarks are often merely a collection (aka graveyard) of links. Wikeo is built to be a living and easily accessible library of stuff you've watched, the knowledge or insights you extracted from it, and the thoughts it ignited in you.
05 Can I organize my videos?
Absolutely. Custom tags and collections let you do just that.
06 Is my data private?
Yes. What you watch or choose to save - notes, highlights, etc - are all processed and saved locally and are never sent to our servers. Your data belongs to you and remains on your system.
07 Who is Wikeo for?
Students, developers, designers, founders, researchers, creators, lifelong learners - anyone who finds videos on YouTube to be thought-provoking, educational, and informative and wants to retain more of what they watch. If that's you, Wikeo is built for you.
08 Why not just search YouTube again?
Because YouTube helps you find videos. Wikeo helps you find knowledge. Without endless scrolling, rewatching, or trying to remember which creator explained or said it best.
09 Do you offer a free trial?
Even better. You can use the full-featured Wikeo app and save upto 30 videos in your ilbrary for as long as you want. When you need more videos and are ready, buy a lifetime license.
