Watch out for

• Uses your Google login, not an official API

  It signs in with your browser cookies and calls internal endpoints, which the author says may not fit Google's terms. Use an account you are willing to risk. github.com

• It can delete notebooks or make them public

  Tools can delete notebooks and sources, turn on public links and invite people by email. Hide those tool groups if you only want answers. github.com

• Your saved login is a plain file by default

  Turn on protected storage so the saved Google login is encrypted with a key kept in your keychain. github.com

• Keep downloads in one folder

  An older version let downloads land anywhere on disk. Stay on a current version; downloads now stay in one folder by default. github.com

• Never put the web mode on the internet

  Its optional HTTP mode has no password or sign-in. Keep the default local setup. github.com
