Notion

Notion is a note-taking and workspace app from Notion Labs that turns notes into docs, wikis and databases. The free plan caps file uploads at 5 MB.

Notion is a note-taking and workspace app that keeps documents, databases and team knowledge in one place instead of spreading them across separate tools. It is made by Notion Labs, Inc., a private company in San Francisco that sells this one product. Pages are built from blocks, so a note can grow into a spec, a wiki entry or a tracked database without moving to another app. The same account opens in a browser, in the macOS and Windows apps and on phones. Docs hold block-based writing with comments and version history, and Real-time collaboration lets several people edit one page at once. Databases carry the structured work, with subtasks, dependencies, custom properties and Kanban, timeline and chart views over the same records. Backlinks show how pages connect, Web Clipper saves pages from the browser, and Notion Calendar puts workspace items beside calendar events. Notion AI adds AI Meeting Notes, Enterprise Search across connected apps such as Slack and Google Drive, and agents that carry out workflows on a schedule. Notion suits teams that want their documentation, projects and meeting notes in the same system: startups recording how they work, product and engineering groups tracking specs and roadmaps, and operations teams running a wiki and an onboarding hub. Individuals use the same app for personal notes and task lists. Larger organisations add SAML SSO, SCIM provisioning, granular permissions and an audit log on the upper tiers. It is bought per member per month, billed monthly or yearly, with an enterprise tier quoted by sales and AI credits charged on top. A workspace collects meeting notes, project trackers, onboarding guides and help content into one searchable place. Pages publish to the web on notion.site domains for public docs and changelogs, and forms drop responses straight into a database. Connections pull live Salesforce and Jira records into pages, and link previews render Figma and GitHub inline. A public API, webhooks and an MCP endpoint connect it to the rest of a stack, which is how teams run it beside Slack, an issue tracker and a drive rather than in place of them.
