Big news, productivity fans: Google has officially launched NotebookLM as a mobile app for both Android and iOS – and yes, that means you can now take your AI-powered notes on the go! The announcement came just a day before the highly anticipated Google I/O 2025, and a day earlier than originally expected. Surprise!
If you haven’t tried it yet, NotebookLM is Google’s AI-driven research assistant designed to help you better understand, organize, and interact with information. Think of it as a supercharged, hyper-smart notebook that doesn’t just store your notes—it helps you make sense of them.
Since launching in 2023, NotebookLM has only been available on desktop. Now, with the arrival of these slick new mobile apps, you can finally carry this digital brainiac in your pocket.
Here’s What You Can Do With the App:
📚 Smart Summaries & Q&A: NotebookLM can break down complicated documents into bite-sized summaries, and it lets you ask questions directly about the material you upload. No more endless skimming.
🎧 Audio Overviews: This feature turns your notes and source material into *AI-generated podcasts*. Yes, podcasts! You can listen to recaps of your documents while you commute, cook, or doomscroll.
🌐 Import from Anywhere: Found a juicy PDF, YouTube video, or an article you want to dive deeper into? Just hit the **share button** on your phone and send it straight to NotebookLM. Boom—instant source.
🗂️ Notebook Access On-the-Go: Create new notebooks or revisit the ones you’ve already started. Everything syncs, so your research is always within reach.
🌙 Dark Mode or Light Mode? Your Choice. The app respects your system settings, so you can work in a theme that doesn’t burn your retinas (or matches your vibe).
📶 Offline Support: Audio Overviews can keep playing in the background—even without Wi-Fi. Your productivity doesn’t have to stop just because you’re in a dead zone.
So, Why Does This Matter?
If you’re a student, writer, researcher, or just someone who’s drowning in tabs, this app can be a total game-changer. NotebookLM isn’t just a note-taking app—it’s like having a research assistant that never sleeps, always listens, and doesn’t need coffee breaks.
With Google I/O 2025 around the corner, you can expect the tech giant to unveil even more features and integrations for NotebookLM during its keynote.
But for now? Grab the app, start uploading your sources, and let the AI help you work smarter—not harder.
