Questions, answered.
Everything about saving, searching, and organising your Instagram reels with ReelNotes.
Why can't I find my saved Instagram reels?
Instagram's Saved folder is just a wall of thumbnails with no search inside it, so the only way to find a reel is to scroll until you spot it. The words that made it useful, the steps, the numbers, the advice, were spoken in the audio and never written down anywhere you can search. ReelNotes fixes that by turning each save into a Card you can actually search.
Can I search a saved reel by what was said in it?
Yes. When you save a reel, ReelNotes reads its transcript and caption and writes a Card: a short summary, the key points, and the topics it covers. Because the words are now text, you can find a save by what was actually said, not just by who posted it.
How do I organise thousands of saved reels?
You don't file them by hand. Every save becomes a labelled, searchable Card automatically, so search handles most of the work. For the handful of interests you keep returning to, you group Cards into Channels, like playlists for the things you save. The system holds at ten saves or ten thousand.
What is a Card?
A Card is what a saved reel becomes in ReelNotes: a short summary, the key points, and the topics it covers, drawn only from what the reel actually said or captioned. A bookmark tells you where something is. A Card tells you what it was, so you can use it without rewatching.
Does ReelNotes work with TikTok or YouTube?
Not yet. ReelNotes works with Instagram right now: save a reel and it becomes a searchable Card in your library. Support for other platforms may come later, but we would rather do one thing properly than claim everything.
Do I need the App Store to use ReelNotes?
No. ReelNotes installs straight from your browser and adds to your home screen with its own icon, no app store needed. You connect your Instagram once on desktop with the browser extension, and after that saving from your phone just works.
Does ReelNotes make up my notes?
No. A deterministic engine decides what is true and what matters, using only what was actually said or captioned, so nothing is invented or pulled in from outside the reel. AI only makes the Card read well, inside guardrails, and a final pass re-checks the finished Card against the source before it is saved.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Curator is free and covers the core library. Analyst and Navigator add more as your library grows. There is also an early-bird offer on now: 60 days of full access, no card required. See the pricing page for what each plan includes.
