Is NoteLM really free?
Yes, NoteLM is 100% free. You use your own Gemini API key from Google, which has a generous free tier sufficient for most users.
Why do I need an API key?
The API key enables direct communication with Google's AI from your browser. This keeps the service free and protects your privacy — we never see your data.
What if a video doesn't have captions?
NoteLM requires video captions to generate summaries. Most YouTube videos have auto-generated captions. Check for the CC icon on the video player.
Can I use NoteLM with other browsers?
NoteLM works on Chrome and Chromium-based browsers (Edge, Brave, Opera). Firefox support is planned for the future.
How is my privacy protected?
NoteLM processes everything locally on your device. Your API key never leaves your browser, and we don't collect or store any user data.
