Four caption-based styles from a public YouTube link, plus Markdown / browser-print PDF. No chat, mind map, PPT, ASR workspace, or timestamps.

When does Outcast shut down?

Outcast has communicated a shutdown around 2026-12-01. Confirm dates on Outcast’s own channels; we only offer an independent paste-link notes path.

What about long videos?

A common comfort ceiling here is about ~90 minutes when captions exist.

Is summarizing here free?

Yes for the shared daily allowance, with no account required.

Outcast alternative: paste-a-link four-style YouTube notes

Looking for an Outcast alternative, Outcast AI YouTube summarizer, or a place to keep paste-a-link video notes after Outcast? Public paths such as summarizer.outcast.ai and outcast.ai/tools/youtube-video-summarizer have been associated with Outcast’s YouTube summarizer tooling; Outcast has communicated a shutdown around 2026-12-01. YS Summarizer below is an independent paste-a-link option for the same narrow job: when captions already exist on a public YouTube video, paste the URL for four caption-based summary styles, then copy/download Markdown or browser-print PDF. We do not offer chat, mind maps, PPT decks, ASR transcription workspaces, clickable timestamps, or a research CMS. A common comfort ceiling here is about ~90 minutes. We are not Outcast, are not an official successor, and are not affiliated—this page simply offers a calm paste-link alternative for four-style caption notes.
