Installation Guide

NotebookLM Local is currently an unsigned open-source application. You may see standard OS security warnings when installing. Here is how to bypass them securely.

macOS Installation

If macOS says the application is "damaged and can't be opened", it's because Apple's Gatekeeper blocked the unsigned app. To fix this:

  1. Drag NotebookLM Local.app to your Applications folder.
  2. Open the Terminal app.
  3. Run this exact command to remove the quarantine flag: 
    sudo xattr -cr "/Applications/NotebookLM Local.app"
  4. Double click the app in your Applications folder to run it!

Why go local?
