A Notion-style system for the videos you save
Notion works because writing becomes structured, searchable, and linkable. But it's built for things you type. The videos you save — and learn from — don't fit cleanly into Notion without a lot of manual work. Sftir is the piece that handles video the way Notion handles text.
How sftir helps
Structure without the manual setup
Notion requires you to design databases, define properties, tag manually. Sftir gives you structure — transcripts, summaries, topic tags, creator metadata — without any of that upfront work.
Search the way Notion searches
Full-text search across every transcript. Filter by platform, topic, creator, date. Sftir's library is built for finding things, just like a well-organized Notion workspace.
Connect to Notion via API
Every plan includes API keys. Pipe transcripts and summaries into your Notion workspace so your videos live alongside your notes, tasks, and writing.
How it works
Save videos into Sftir
Extension, share sheet, paste URL. One step, no manual metadata entry.
AI creates the structure
Each save becomes a structured entry — title, summary, transcript, key moments, tags. No Notion template required.
Connect to Notion when you want to
Use the API to sync specific collections into your Notion workspace. Or just use Sftir as the video layer while Notion stays your writing layer.
For the Notion power user
Rafa runs everything in Notion — projects, reading log, daily notes. He kept trying to build a 'saved videos' database inside Notion and kept abandoning it because manual entry was brutal. Sftir handles the ingest side, and a lightweight API sync drops transcripts into a Notion DB he actually maintains.
Frequently asked questions
Does Sftir have a direct Notion integration?
Not a one-click integration yet. The API is straightforward enough that a simple script or Zapier/Make automation bridges Sftir and Notion in about 15 minutes of setup.
Should I use Sftir instead of Notion for videos?
Sftir is purpose-built for video capture + search + summary. Notion is great for synthesis, writing, and linking across your whole second brain. Most power users run both — they complement each other.
What does Notion do better than Sftir?
Arbitrary databases, freeform writing, inline embedding of many content types, collaborative docs. Sftir isn't trying to replace Notion — just to fill the video-capture gap that Notion can't do well on its own.
Can I embed Sftir pages in Notion?
Not currently. You can paste a link to a video's Sftir page, or embed the original video URL. Native embedding is a near-term consideration.
