NotebookLM CLI (nlm)

Manage Google NotebookLM notebooks, sources, notes, and audio overviews via the nlm command-line tool.

Requires: nlm on PATH (~/.local/bin/nlm → ~/projects/nlm/nlm)

Check: command -v nlm || echo "MISSING: nlm CLI not installed"

Authentication

Before first use, authenticate with Google:

nlm auth login -all

This connects to Chrome via CDP (Chrome DevTools Protocol) to extract cookies from an active NotebookLM session. Credentials are stored in ~/.nlm/env.
