Export YouTube Playlist to Markdown

A playlist to Markdown exporter turns a YouTube playlist into a .md file: a heading, a summary line and a table with one row per video, written in the GitHub-flavored Markdown that Obsidian, GitHub, Notion, VS Code and most note apps render.

It's built for people who keep notes in plain text. Drop the file into an Obsidian vault or a GitHub repo and the table renders with clickable links. Pipes and line breaks inside titles are escaped so the table never breaks. For a course you're working through, Copy checklist gives a to-do list of linked titles instead, ready to tick off as you watch.

The file opens with the playlist name as a heading, a line with the channel, video count and a link back to YouTube, then a GitHub-flavored Markdown table with one row per video. Pipes and line breaks inside titles and descriptions are escaped so the table never breaks.

For a course you're working through, Copy checklist is often handier: it gives a to-do list of linked titles with durations that Obsidian, Notion and GitHub turn into checkboxes.
