According to 9to5 Google, this move likely refers to a native mobile app for Android and iOS. This is because a desktop version would be unusual for Google, which typically has only a few native clients for Mac, Windows, and Linux.
The platform's current interface features a three-pane redesign optimised for web users. However, the UI is fully resizable, allowing users to adjust the layout according to their preferences. The platform's features are also accessible on phone-sized screens, where the interface adapts to display three top tabs for easy navigation.
Users can also save notebooklm.google.com as a Progressive Web App, which adds an app icon to their home screen. This removes browser elements, such as the address bar, for an optimised app-like experience on smartphone devices.

(also the NotebookLM app is coming soon!) https://t.co/SueI00NXNlHow To Add notebooklm.google.com On Phone:
For Android devices, users will need to click the three-dot menu in the top-right corner > Add to the Home screen
AdvertisementiOS: Tap Safari's share menu > Add to Home Screen.
To be clear, the PWA is not without its shortcomings. It comes with an issue where the settings gear icon overlaps with the app switcher on the homepage. Moreover, the status bar stays light even in the dark mode option, which can be annoying.
Once the app is unveiled, it will come with the advantage of visibility in the Google Play Store for Android and the iOS App Store.
The experimental AI notebook has received praise from users for its competitive features. The platform can transform study materials into FAQs, podcasts, and more, making studying a more interactive experience.
