Notion

Notion is one workspace where you can keep notes, docs, wikis, tasks, and databases in one place. It suits students, solo workers, and teams who want fewer apps and one shared home for their work. You build pages from small blocks, link them together, and shape them into a simple note or a full team system. Paid plans add more controls and AI tools, so check the official Notion pricing page for current details before you choose a plan for your team.

Key Features

Docs and notes

Write notes and docs in pages built from blocks. A block is one piece of content, like text, a checklist, an image, or a table.

Team wikis

Build a shared wiki where your team keeps guides, rules, and answers in one place. Teamspaces group pages by team for easy finding.

Databases

Turn lists into databases with tables, boards, calendars, and timelines. Add properties like dates, owners, and status, then filter and sort to see what matters.

Projects and tasks

Plan projects with tasks that carry owners, due dates, subtasks, and dependencies. A dependency means one task waits for another task to finish first.

Templates

Start fast with ready-made templates for meeting notes, project plans, and habit trackers. You can also save any page you build as your own template.

Real-time collaboration

Several people can edit the same page at once, leave comments, and mention teammates. Guests can view single pages free of charge.

Publish to the web

Publish any page as a public website with a Notion address. Paid plans add custom domains and branding for your own site.

Notion AI

Notion AI drafts text, sums up pages, and answers questions with source links. Full AI starts with Business; Free and Plus give a limited trial.

Notion Calendar

Notion Calendar shows meetings and tasks in one calendar view. It comes with the Free plan, so you can plan your week in one place.
