Open Notebook

Category: Research & Academic · Free to use

Free open-source NotebookLM alternative — podcasts, summaries, citations, self-hosted.

Open Notebook is the free, open-source, privacy-first alternative to Google's NotebookLM. Drop in PDFs, URLs, YouTube videos, audio files, or your own notes; it builds a fully searchable, cited knowledge base — then generates podcasts, summaries, mind maps, and chat answers using any LLM you connect (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Ollama, OpenRouter). Self-host in one Docker command, keep every byte on your hardware, never pay a cent. The powerhouse free NotebookLM you can actually own.
