Why Notebook OS?
Every other extension organizes your inputs.
We power your outputs.

Other NotebookLM extensions focus on what goes in — organizing notebooks, importing sources, managing tags. Notebook OS focuses on what comes out — turning conversations into polished artifacts, capturing ideas the moment they happen, and finding research without ever leaving your flow.

Premium Deck View.
Present NotebookLM slides like Gamma.

NotebookLM makes the slides. Notebook OS makes them presentable — a full-screen, distraction-free presenter that runs straight from your notebook, with the watermark quietly removed.

Watermark, gone

The “NotebookLM” corner mark is hidden on the presenter stage — clean enough to screen-share, record, or project. (Pro)

🖥
True full-screen stage

Dark theater, centered slide, hover chevrons, auto-hiding HUD with a slide counter and progress bar.

Real knowledge workers. Real workflows.

I review 20+ papers a week. Academic Search alone saves me an hour of tab-switching every day. The Flashcard Recipe is how I actually retain what I read.

Capture Spoken Thoughts is criminally underrated. I commute 40 minutes each way. By the time I open NotebookLM, my thoughts are already in my notebook as a source.

Studio Recipes builds the deck, Premium Deck View presents it. I went from notebook to a clean, watermark-free pitch on the projector without ever exporting to PowerPoint.
