Notion Calendar
The free calendar for Notion workspaces: events plus your Notion pages, side by side.
About
Notion Calendar is the renamed Cron — the keyboard-first calendar app Notion acquired in 2022 and relaunched with workspace integration. It stays true to its Cron roots: fast, keyboard-driven, multi-timezone aware, with meeting scheduling links and availability sharing. The Notion layer lets you see database items with date fields on the calendar and link Notion pages directly into events, so meeting notes live one click from the event.
The standout fact is pricing: it is completely free, with no premium tier or feature gating — Notion uses it as ecosystem glue. You need a Notion account, but the free tier works fine. It supports Google Calendar sync, multiple time zones, and Mac/Windows/iOS/web apps. Reviewers note the trade-offs honestly: it is purely a calendar (tasks live in Notion databases), there is no time-blocking workflow or focus mode, mobile natural-language input is missing, and integrations beyond calendar providers are thin.
Honest limits: only valuable if you already use Notion; no task management of its own; closed-source; Notion's own 2026 pricing reshuffle (AI folded into Business) doesn't affect the calendar, but the product's roadmap follows Notion's priorities.
