Building your knowledge library, one video at a time
Forage for insights, curate collections, recall when it matters.
Forrager is the Chrome extension for YouTube power users. We built it because we had the same problem: hours of content, tons of great ideas, and zero way to actually find them again when we needed them.

Loop, slow down, master skills
YouTube is one of the richest information platforms.
From long-form podcasts to technical tutorials, from skill-building content to documentary series - it's become the go-to place for learning almost anything.
Here's the thing: YouTube excels at delivering content, but it wasn't designed for knowledge retention. You're consuming incredibly valuable information, but the platform is optimized for the next video, not for helping you remember and use what you've learned.
Think about it: Voices, opinions, and knowledge from every field imaginable, all accessible instantly. Forrager helps you personalize that experience - organize what you've discovered, solidify what you've learned, and make it accessible when you need it most.
Why we built this
We consume a lot of YouTube content and kept losing track of valuable insights. If you have ADHD or just a brain that jumps between topics, you know this problem well. The solution turned out to work just as well for people practicing skills - same tools, different use case.
If you're here for the ideas:
- Save the moments that make you go "whoa"
- Curate collections around topics you're obsessed with
- Track how different creators connect ideas
- Actually find that thing you saved three months ago
- (Soon: share your collections and collaborate with other curious people)
If you're here to get better at stuff:
- Loop the tricky parts until you get them
- Slow things down when you need to (perfect for ADHD brains that need repetition)
- Mark your progress with notes only you understand
- Organize by how hard things are (or how much they frustrate you)
Whether you're trying to understand consciousness or learn to skateboard, we just want YouTube to work better for you.
