simple tools
for social science research.
annotate video. code text.
everything stays in your browser. made for students and researchers.
tools for video and text analysis — without accounts, uploads, or subscription fees.
drop in a video or text. code it, annotate it, add notes. everything stays in your browser.
video analysis
timeline-based video annotation. double-click to create items, drag edges to adjust timing. stack tracks for different coding schemes. scrub through your video, mark moments, add notes. nothing fancy. it works.
text analysis
qualitative coding with hierarchies and memos. highlight segments, apply codes, write notes. build code structures, track patterns, develop themes. everything searchable.
AI if you want it
if you have an api key, you can use it here. transcribe video, identify visual elements. code text, extract themes. or don't — manual analysis works fine too.
local storage
notate uses local browser storage. your browser saves your work. come back later, it's still there. export a zip if you want a backup. that's it.
costs
notate is free. if you use AI, you bring your own key. usually a few cents per session.
no surprises
no tracking. no accounts. no data leaves your computer unless you're using the AI features with your own api key.
