Reelread, Chrome extension

How to find a reel you saved

You save reels to watch later, and later never comes. When you finally need the one about compound interest, you're scrolling through rows of thumbnails that all look alike.

Now the reels you keep in Reelread come with their words, so typing "compound interest" brings that reel back. Reelread is a Chrome extension that saves reels with what they said and sorts them into your own nests: free for 7 a day, Complete $11 once.

Free: unlimited transcripts for your first 5 days, then 7 a day. Reelread Complete: lifetime access for $11 including tax, paid once, sold by Dodo Payments, our Merchant of Record.

How do I save a reel so I can find it later?

Transcribe it, then star it into a nest. Its words come with it, so search finds it by anything it said.

  1. Open the reel in Chrome, click the Reelread icon and press Transcribe.
  2. Press the star and pick a nest, like Recipes or Workout, or make a new one.
  3. Later, open Saved and type a word you remember from the reel.

Reelread's Saved shelf: a search box for all saved reels, and nests for Recipes, Hooks and moreSaved, with demo reels we made ourselves.

What can't it do?

It keeps the reels you save in Reelread, up to 500 in this browser, and it doesn't bring in your Instagram Saved list. A reel saved without a transcript can be found by its site and your notes, but not by its words.
