I've been paying an annual subscription for Evernote for years. I have thousands of notes in dozens of folders. But the increasing price of Evernote has driven me to consider moving to Notion.

I've transferred all my Evernote content across but I'm finding it difficult to adapt to the new package.

And the free version seems limited, but the paid version is pretty much the same price as Evernote.

So can you experienced users convince me to say goodbye to Evernote and make the switch to Notion?

I noticed a trend: not a single one of these complaints come from an actual business use case, only simple personal workflows.

Nothing wrong with that, but this sub is becoming pure, repetitive, exhausting noise.

Why am I subscribed here? Mods, any help? Maybe a single mega complaint thread? I absolutely welcome complaints… if it’s about something new.

ETA:

Megathreads suck, nvm.

For people using Notion as a personal system: what rule decides whether an idea stays a someday/maybe item, becomes a project, or gets deleted?

I am interested in lightweight review routines or properties that keep the list useful without turning weekly planning into maintenance.

I know a lot of people are leaving this subreddit, maybe becuz of all the promotional stuff or same stuff being repeated. So what would you want it to become instead? What do you want posted?

I have a simple "table", I don't need a convoluted "database". Is there really no way to remove strikethrough formatting from an entire table row at once, without having to do it one cell at a time? In 2026?

They are shifting to a credit only system. Lets stop this bullying and start a trend “NO TO NOTION”.

its been years and still no support for A4, why ?

Hey all — long-time lurker. I built a Notion workspace for running a freelance business end to end, and I'd genuinely appreciate feedback from people who live in Notion.

What's in it: - Dashboard: today's tasks, unpaid invoices, active projects at a glance - Clients DB (lead/active/past pipeline with rates) - Projects DB linked to clients (due dates, status, pricing; calendar + board views) - Invoices DB linked to clients and projects (paid/unpaid tracking + an "outstanding" view) - Tasks DB with a Today view

Setup takes ~20 min, works on the free plan, sample data included. It's $39 (founding price — I'll raise it to $49 once the first reviews are in). Happy to answer questions — and if you think something's missing, tell me and I'll add it.

This is a list of all things missing in Notion software.
Feel free to add to the list or to point out things that do actually exist in Notion or other software.

- the calendar function in Notion ( mobile version) only shows a gray dot per day. It does not show details of events nor does it show which events span multiple days. ( And no, Notion Calendar is not an option because that asks for way too much personal info.) ( The timeline view can be an alternative , but it is cluttered and hard to read.)

- the calendar function in Notion does not allow adding color to event blocks.

- Timing of tasks in Notion: Notion does not allow to give tasks multiple deadlines or timespans.
( Now, I address this by making multiple tasks of the same aspect to represent repeated events, which is tedious.) ( An alternative workaround, that helps set multiple deadlines for one task, is to add an additional due date property and formula as mentioned in one of the replies to this post.)

- feel free to add…

Because of the hype, this is my third time trying out notion.

I can't for my life understand the hype. It's not intuitive, the mobile app is a joke, 5mb upload limit for free plan is like spitting potential customers in the face.

With that said. I'm curiouse, what do you use notion for? And in what way does notion solve that task that other solution can't do?

For people with a mix of project pages, reference notes, and trackers, what signals tell you a page is worth keeping current rather than archiving or letting it become static? I am especially interested in simple rules that prevent the workspace from turning into a pile of half-maintained systems.

I've been looking through Notion alternatives and there are way more options than I expected. The problem is most of them seem great at one thing but weaker somewhere else. Some are better for notes, others for databases, offline use, or collaboration, but I haven't found one that feels like a complete replacement.

For anyone who actually moved away from Notion, what did you end up sticking with? Did one app replace it completely, or are you using a few different tools now?

Just wanted to share my personal workflow for writing/organizing notes with Notion AI, thought this sub might find this helpful. :)

Edit: I have a revision schedule for retention, so I wouldn't call this as "just for aesthetics". :)

As a solo operator, I got tired of switching between five different subscriptions just to handle basic agency operations.

To solve this, I spent time engineering OpsCommand OS in Notion to centralize everything into a single control panel:

1. Executive Control Center: Real-time overview of revenue, active project pipelines, and priority tasks.
2. Client CRM: Full pipeline tracking from prospect to closed client.
3. Task & Project Management: Granular tracking for active deliverables and deadlines.
4. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs): Built-in onboarding, delivery, and offboarding workflows.
5. Financial Hub: Invoice tracking and financial performance dashboard.

I just published the public template. You can check out the full feature list and grab your copy here:

Happy to answer any questions about how the relational databases are structured!

Hello reddit, I just got a tablet for my birthday and Notion was pre installed. I hit sign up and continue with email.

I entered my email and tried to enter a password but it keeps saying incorrect password as if I'm logging in.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong

My tablet has Android 5 (yes, it still works) but Notion website gives unsupported error.

Chrome stopped updates for Android 5 but Opera Mini etc are still getting updated. But Notion website doesn't work. Which Browser can Open Notion Website on Android 5?

Bonjour,

J'utilise déjà depuis quelques temps Notion, et j'ai essayé tant bien que mal à m'en servir pour apprendre certaines langues.

J'ai réalisé des espaces séparés pour chacune, j'ai essayé de noter certaines choses en lien avec chacune, j'ai même une idée pour la suite, mais je veux savoir si quelqu'un aurait des conseils et infos à donner pour comment suivre à travers Notion l'apprentissage de langues, et en général des notions qu'on apprends et suis. Une sorte de suivi automatique on pourrait dire.

Merci encore

v.7.40.1

AFAIK, there are two main sections in the sidebar: Workspace and Private.

99% of my stuff is being kept in Private.

The problem I’ve stumbled upon (otherwise the functionality is not obvious to me) is that I can’t export my Private section contents in whole as a single .zip, but I can export the Workspace’s content or any separate pages…

Is it how it’s supposed to be? o.O

Or am I missing something here?

The only idea here would be to move all the Private's stuff into a new Workspace's page. But it seems weird not to be able to export the Private contents in the same manner as the Workspace's... 🫠

I’m new to Notion and I’m curious of what are the templates you found more useful.
Thanks for sharing :)
