NoteDock for Gemini Notebook

NoteDock is the native macOS companion for Google NotebookLM. It fills the gap — folder organization, video intelligence, unlimited file formats, and zero-trust privacy. Everything NotebookLM left unfinished, done on your Mac.

FOLDERS, PINS, AND ARCHIVE. THE ORGANIZATION NOTEBOOKLM NEVER BUILT.

NotebookLM dumps everything into one flat list. NoteDock adds the layer it's missing: create folders, drag to rearrange, pin favorites, archive old projects. Just like Finder — and it works offline.

NOTEBOOKLM HEARS YOUR VIDEO. IT CAN'T SEE YOUR SLIDES.

NotebookLM treats video as audio-only — slides, diagrams, and screen content are invisible. NoteDock extracts key frames, transcribes speech with speaker labels, and packages everything into a single rich source. Your video, finally complete.

• Local transcription via WhisperKit (Apple Silicon optimized, fully offline)

• Speaker diarization — who said what, automatically

• Key frame extraction — slides, diagrams, screen captures

• Visual PDF — frames + transcript combined for NotebookLM

TOO LARGE. WRONG FORMAT. WE HANDLE IT.

NotebookLM is picky about file sizes and formats. NoteDock handles what it can't:

• Documents: PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, TXT, Markdown

• eBooks: EPUB

• Images (OCR): JPG, PNG, HEIC — text extracted on-device via Apple Vision

• Audio/Video: MP3, M4A, WAV, MP4, MOV, MKV — locally transcribed

• Large files automatically split via Smart Chunking

• Web links: paste a URL, article body extracted automatically

YOUR FILES NEVER LEAVE YOUR MAC.

No NoteDock server exists. Your data flows only between your Mac and Google.

• Sign in via Google's own page in system WKWebView — we never see your password

• All processing (transcription, OCR, conversion) stays local

• Credentials in macOS Keychain (hardware-backed)

• Apple App Sandbox, minimal permissions

• Reviewed and distributed via Mac App Store only

Global hotkey — floating panel appears. Type, drop a file, paste from clipboard. Pick your notebook. Enter. Done. What took 15 seconds now takes 3.
