Less friction when adding sources to NotebookLM.
A browser extension that removes the repetitive steps from your workflow. Runs locally. No account. No tracking.
- Import pages, videos, playlists, and feeds without tab-switching
- Batch import from open tabs or URL lists
- Download audio overviews for offline use
Where the Friction Is
NotebookLM handles sources well once they are in. The issue is getting them there.
Copy URL. Switch tab. Click menu. Paste. Wait. Repeat. For a serious research session, this adds up.
PowerPack removes those steps.
You stay where you are. One click sends the current page to the notebook you choose. Playlists and RSS feeds parse locally, then import in batch. Open tabs become sources without copying anything.
The less you interact with the import flow, the more you focus on the content.
What Changes
One-Click Import
You are on an article or video. Click the icon, pick a notebook, done. No tab-switching.
Batch Import
Paste a list of URLs. Or load all your open tabs. Select what you want, import at once.
Playlist and Feed Parsing
YouTube playlists and RSS feeds are parsed locally. You see the list, pick items, and import.
Audio Download
Download audio overviews as M4A files. Listen offline, on any device.
Notebook Overview
See all notebooks and source counts in one view. Create new notebooks without leaving the extension.
No Surprises
The extension does exactly what it says. Nothing runs in the background. Nothing phones home.
Privacy
PowerPack runs entirely in your browser. There is no backend, no account, no external service.
- No data leaves your machine except requests to NotebookLM
- No analytics inside the extension
- No tracking of what you import or read
- One session token stored locally for API access

Independent Project
This is not a SaaS product. There is no subscription, no company, no roadmap driven by investors.
PowerPack was built to solve a specific friction. It is maintained by someone who uses it daily.
If you find it useful, you can support development on Ko-fi. This is optional and appreciated.
