Notion is free to use, but you can subscribe to Personal Pro ($4 a month), Team ($8 a month) or Enterprise plans. You also can't pick and choose which devices receive the alerts. But Notion Wizard points out two limitations - there's no way to set reminders at an alternate cadence, like being notified a month before.

The app can send the alert on the day of the event, two days before, or a week prior to the event. According to Notion Wizard, you can set a reminder on any page with a date module. Last spring, Microsoft announced that the assimilated Wunderlist team would be replacing their namesake app with a new app called Microsoft To-Do. If alarms are helpful to you, Notion's actual reminder system may fall short for you. Wunderlist, the beloved to-do list tool created by Berlin startup 6 Wunderkinder in 2011, was purchased by Microsoft in 2015 after cultivating a devoted following. My task list board is set up to show "To Do," "Doing" and "Done" columns side by side, which helps me stay on task, motivated and focused. Notion shines in its creative and aesthetic options.

Notion offers personal-use accounts for free as well as various paid packages for teams and companies. The free app gave users a fast way to create a digital workspace for taking notes, creating moodboards, journaling, organizing school and work, as well as making to-do lists.

Notion gained a lot of attention at the height of the pandemic within TikTok communities.
