Yudoku is a focused way to learn from YouTube — without getting trapped in the algorithm. Point it at a playlist, get a course back. Track progress, mark completion, finish what you started.
why it exists
Most learning platforms optimise for attention, not completion. You open a video to learn one thing and end up watching ten more you never planned to. Yudoku is built around a simple idea: learning should have an end.
what it does
- Turns playlists into courses — any YouTube playlist becomes a structured run with a clear runway to the end
- Tracks real progress — you always know what you've finished and what's left, no fake productivity metrics
- Saves moments, not noise — drop timestamps to jump back to specific points later. Not notes, not essays — just context.
- Removes distractions — no recommendations, no algorithmic feed, no infinite scroll. Once you're inside a course, nothing else fights for attention.
what it isn't
Not a note-taking app. Not a second brain. Not another content platform. It's a focused layer on top of YouTube — that's the whole feature set.
