Which one fits
Pick StudyFetch if your course material is mostly slides, PDFs and recordings and you want structured notes built from all of it in one place.
Pick YouTube Collector if your lectures are on YouTube and you want each one kept with a full time-coded transcript and a chaptered summary, with one search across the whole term for "where did we cover this?" before an exam.
