Yes! CheckTube is 100% free to use. No login required, no credit card needed, no hidden costs. You can create as many checklists as you want.
Does it work with all YouTube videos?
CheckTube works best with tutorial and how-to videos. It works with any language, but instructional videos give the best results. Music videos or vlogs don't work as well since they don't contain clear steps.

CheckTube's AI is 95% accurate, but sometimes it might miss a detail. The timestamps help you quickly go back to the video if you need to check something. It still saves you tons of time! Avoid common mistakes for best results.
