Good to know
A Markdown outline pasted into Workflowy also nests correctly if it uses indented lists.
The extension creates files on your computer. It does not sign in to Workflowy, and nothing is sent to Workflowy until you import the file yourself.
Free or Pro?
Free, with no daily export quota and no website account needed. Pro covers the extension only; it does not include a Google subscription or raise NotebookLM's own limits. Current prices are on the pricing page.
Frequently asked questions
Does NotebookLM have a built-in Workflowy integration?
No. Gemini Notebook has no built-in connection to Workflowy. The working route is a file: export from NotebookLM in a format Workflowy reads (OPML, Markdown outline), then import or open it there.
Is there a size limit?
Very large outlines can be slow to paste. Export one branch at a time for big maps.
Does my content pass through a server on its way to Workflowy?
No. Files are converted in your browser and saved to your downloads folder. You move them into the other app yourself.
