Nutshell: Widgets for Notion

Like Notion, itself, it’s trying to do a lot and too much for me. I just wanted to be able to select a single page, a short task list, to display on my iPad in a widget. Instead I have to choose a database. So I created a journal and then create pages named after the tasks instead of creating one page with a short list on it. I’ll deal with it because who knows when the Notion devs will get around to adding widgets like the ones this app can create. The next problem is that it costs so much to buy outright and while there is a subscription option I am all subscribed out. For a bit more than twice the cost of paying outright I can buy a full featured animation app. And this app is just one of many apps out there that have similar business models. Sorry for the rant.

Great

With Notions abysmal widget system, this app is a breath of fresh air. The interface is slick, the features are comprehensive, and it is clear that the developer truly cares about this work. I enjoy using this to navigate my daily tasks. If you’re thinking about using this app, it is a no-brainer

Thank you for making this. I have been wanting something like this for a while now and you’ve done a great job even in the early stages. Instant purchase 💸 One thing I noticed is that while checkbox items list the column title, select items just list the value. Maybe adding some ability for each property to show or hide the column header. I can see some wanting it and others not wanting it. Another cool add might be the ability to add views to allow you to add views to the widget that you configure from notion itself as a way of keeping things consistent with a single source of truth. Thanks again!

Early in on this app’s development, and already it’s an all star. The stuff it claims to do, well it does it. There are of course things to be done to make it even better (e.g. ability to specify format of properties such as wrap vertically, ability to interact with status/checkbox directly from widget, specify font/color etc), but those things are “nice to haves” while the core of this app is fantastic and does its job. Good work, dev!

Couldn’t find an email for the developer so just doing feedback via a review. I love where this is heading…and only just a few revisions in! Would be great to just be able to use a filter/view already on the database vs creating one in the app itself. Not sure what’s possible here. Also would be nice to either control the refresh schedule or at least note what Apple allows for by default in a FAQ page in the app. Also I’ve never tried developing one of these myself so not sure what’s exposed in terms of functionality but the ability to scroll to additional database items if more exist beyond what the widget can show. Thanks for writing a missing piece of critical functionality for being able to use Notion for tasks!
