Who it's for
Course tabs and lecture videos should still be findable at exam time.
Students do not need another LMS. They need one library for the public pages and captioned lectures they actually open. LinkWise stores readable text and timestamped transcripts when captions exist—and stays honest when they do not.
Public captions only · Free has a monthly caption allowance
Watch later → study later
A Watch Later pile is not a study system. Retrieval is.

Markdown into Obsidian for the notes you will revise.
Lectures as text you can query
No captions means we keep the link card. We do not invent speech.
Not a tutor and not Canvas
Homework, grades, and campus PDFs stay in the school system. LinkWise is for the open web around the course: explainers, talks, and docs you chose to keep.
- Fits: YouTube courses, public lecture pages, docs you will cite in a paper.
- Fits: finding last month’s explanation by topic, not by tab title.
- Not for: quiz generation as a product, native mobile-first studying, or private lecture captures.
Pick a lecture you still have open.
If it has no public captions, the save is still a bookmark—not a transcript.
