Note that the first thing you're asked to do is sign up to a plan, and the Free one limits you to 20 imports a day.

Awesome tool and very easy to use. Would recommend! 10/10
Allen Nikka

It's crazy that this feature isn't built in but leave it to awesome devs to fix things. This is awesome thank you.

so great , I love it
Jeff Kang
I reached the limit of NotebookLM notebooks a while ago, and it was tedious having to delete the notebooks one by one. I was surprised that they don’t allow multi-selecting by default. I ended up finding a Reddit thread where the creator left a comment about the extension. It works great for multi-selecting and deleting. Thanks!
Daniel Gavrilescu
So far so (very) good. I am using only a decent part of its functionalities and found it very handful , stable and user friendly, like knowing apriori what i need and implemented properly. Keep up the good work !!
nanomaine
Love the tool, works great and has lots of features. Had trouble installing, but Gemini had suggestions, and one worked: turn on chrome developer mode: • Open Chrome and type chrome://extensions/ in the address bar. • Enable Developer mode (toggle in the top right). • Attempt the install again from the Web Store. NLM Tools responded quickly to my request for help, but I already had it installed. Great customer service, and fantastic tool!
Corey Wu
The deduplication feature is incredibly efficient and was the main reason I installed this extension. It works seamlessly to keep my workspace clean. Highly recommend!

Why does it not recognise my Notebooks within NotebookLM, I have a paid Licence!!
Mike Hayes
Lies 🤥. Does not refresh web articles like it claims, just Google Drive stuff. This article says it will look for stale web links and offer to refresh them. It does not. https://www.nlmtools.com/blog/notebooklm-source-freshness-sync#:~:text=You%20add%20a%20web%20article%2C So much wasted time.

cant even bulk remove, waste of my time
Khang Nguyễn
Thank you for your contribution. I have a few questions: What if I want to contribute additional features? Is this project open source? If I need to contribute selectively, where should I send my CV?
Mariusz Kłosiński
Great

Love the functions but currently the output language switch button doesn't work. It doesn't change to the language you set it to.

This is just what I needed. It has significantly improved my NotebookLM workflow. Essential for anyone using the platform!

This tool features are amazzing
Michael Otu
This is certainly an excellent extension for NotebookLM... I will make sure people know about this useful utility. I am still waiting on the ability to merge multiple sources in a given notebook into one source. Or merging merging multiple webpages into one source before uploading into a Notebook in NotebookLM.
László Németh
Very good

A gem that many NotebookLM users have yet to discover. Helps me a lot by managing and categorizing by Tags, Exporting and Importing entire Notebooks including PDF uploads...
Maximilian Michel

best of the best, please change the font to sans serif. Monospaced font is not good.
