It's official: VidNotes for Android is live on Google Play. Android users can now get the full VidNotes experience — AI transcription, summaries, flashcards, action items, and chat with citations — in a native app built for their device.
With this launch, VidNotes is now available on every major platform: iOS, Android, web app, and Chrome extension. One subscription covers them all.
What You Get in VidNotes for Android
Every feature that made VidNotes the go-to AI video transcription app on iOS and web is now on Android:
- Paste any video link — YouTube, Instagram Reels, IGTV, TikTok, Vimeo, and more
- Upload local video files from your phone, gallery, or any Android share sheet
- AI transcription using OpenAI Whisper in 30+ languages, with automatic language detection
- AI summary of any video in the same language as the content
- AI chat with citations — ask questions about a video and get answers tied to specific timestamps
- Auto-generated flashcards for studying and spaced repetition
- Action items extraction from meetings, webinars, and tutorials
- Export to PDF, TXT, or Markdown for any workflow
- Cross-device sync with your VidNotes account — start on Android, finish on web
Why We Built It Native
We could have left Android users on the web app. It works, and it's responsive. But "works" isn't good enough. Android deserves a first-class experience with:
- Android share sheet integration — send videos directly from YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok with a single tap
- Material Design that feels native to the platform
- Offline access to your previously transcribed content
- Push notifications when a long transcription completes
- Background processing so you can keep using your phone while VidNotes works
- Native file picker for seamless video imports from your device
The Android app is built to feel at home on your phone, not like a ported iOS app.

What Android Users Have Told Us
The Android waitlist we've been running since last year had one consistent message: "I want the full VidNotes feature set, not a stripped-down version." That's exactly what shipped. No feature gaps compared to iOS or web. No "Android-lite" version. The whole product, native on your phone.
