What you get

A newsletter. Subject, body, CTA — the whole send.

Subject line that gets opened

Three subject line options optimized for open rate. Curiosity-led, not clickbait.

Hook that earns the scroll

Opens with the most compelling moment in the video, not a polite throat-clear.

Scannable body

Short paragraphs. Pull-quotes. Bullet sections where they belong. Built for inbox skimming.

Clear CTA

Whether you want subscribers to watch the video, reply with thoughts, or upgrade — the CTA is in the right place.

How it works

From video to send-ready in three steps.

Any video your audience cares about — yours or someone else's.

02

Pick your platform

Substack, Beehiiv, Ghost, ConvertKit, Mailchimp — the output formats match the platform.

03

Edit and schedule

Tweak the subject, add your voice, paste into your ESP. Done before lunch.

Questions

Honest answers.

Will the newsletter sound like me or like a robot?

RecapGPT preserves the speaker's voice in pull-quotes and writes connective prose in a neutral editorial tone. Most users tweak 10-15% before publishing — far less than starting from a raw transcript. If you want a stronger personal voice, edit the connective sentences and leave the quotes alone.

Is it really free?

Yes. You get 3 free conversions per month with no credit card required. Pro is $5.99/mo for unlimited conversions and longer videos. We don't run ads or sell your data.

What format does the output come in?

Markdown, HTML, or plain text — your choice. Works with WordPress, Ghost, Substack, Medium, Notion, Obsidian, and anything else that accepts standard text. No lock-in.

Can I convert someone else's YouTube video?

Yes, if the video is public. The output is your draft, but the underlying ideas belong to the original creator — cite them, link to the video, and don't republish verbatim. Best practice is to use AI drafts as a starting point for your own analysis or commentary, not a substitute for it.
