FAQ

Common questions

What is NotebookTools?

NotebookTools is a Chrome extension that helps you import content into Google NotebookLM and manage notebooks from a dedicated app — bulk import, organization, duplicate cleanup, Drive refresh, Studio tools, podcast playback, and prompts. Lifetime license via a one-time purchase.

Is NotebookTools free?

No — NotebookTools is a one-time lifetime purchase: $49 USD globally, or ₹2,500 INR when checking out from India (same link: dodo.pe/notebooktools). No subscription. After payment you get a Dodo Payments receipt/license email, then install from the Chrome Web Store. Account-based unlock in extension settings comes later with Supabase; your receipt is proof of purchase for now.

How is this different from importing in NotebookLM directly?

NotebookLM’s built-in import is limited and slow for bulk work. NotebookTools adds a bulk queue, YouTube playlist import, link extraction, notebook folders, duplicate scanning, a podcast player, prompt library, and more — all from Chrome while you browse.

What does “refresh source” do?

For Google Drive sources (Docs, Slides, Sheets, PDFs), NotebookLM can detect when the original file changed. NotebookTools shows an Update available badge and lets you re-sync with one click.

How do I extract links from a page?

Right-click anywhere on a page and choose Extract links to Notebook. Links are pulled from the main article content, then opened in the Bulk tab for review before import.

Why $49 instead of a subscription?

Many NotebookLM companions charge around $59/year or near $99 for lifetime. Free tools often cap imports or features. NotebookTools is a simple lifetime license at $49 (₹2,500 in India) — import, organize, Studio, podcasts, and prompts included, with no recurring bill.

Does NotebookTools collect my data?

No backend server stores your notebooks or sources. Imports go directly from your browser to NotebookLM using your session. See our privacy policy.
