About Notion
Notion is the ultimate all-in-one productivity workspace that combines notes, tasks, databases, wikis, and project management into a single flexible tool. It's used by individuals for personal organization and by teams at companies like Toyota, Figma, and Pixar for collaboration.
The block-based editor lets you build any type of page by combining text, images, code blocks, embeds, databases, kanban boards, calendars, galleries, and more. Templates for every use case — from meeting notes to product roadmaps — get you started instantly.
Notion AI acts as your built-in writing assistant, helping you draft, summarize, translate, brainstorm, and edit content directly in your workspace. The connected workspace means everything links together — your meeting notes can reference your project database, which connects to your team wiki.

User Reviews
Notion replaced Trello, Google Docs, Evernote, and Airtable for my team. Everything is in one place and beautifully organized. The database relations feature is incredibly powerful for tracking projects across departments. Best productivity tool I've ever used.
I run my entire freelance business in Notion — client tracker, project pipeline, invoice templates, knowledge base, everything. The templates community is amazing. Only downside is the mobile app isn't as smooth as desktop.
Notion has completely organized my academic life. I have a database for all my courses, linked to assignment trackers and study notes. The web clipper saves research articles right into my notebooks. Free for students which is awesome.
