We use it to keep track of all Of our tasks and projects. Switched to it after getting annoyed with Asana and not wanting to use something like Jira. We love how freeform it is and allowed us to create a workflow that fit us.

There are some gripes I have with it, notifications are still hit or miss despite talking to support about it multiple times - they’ll be delayed or missed altogether if you’ve recently opened the iOS app or have the desktop app open on another computer. Search still needs some love. It should probably weigh recently opened pages higher. And I’d love it if the Mac app was native instead of electron based.

Their team is pretty responsive when messaging them so that’s a huge plus.



We use Asana at work. What annoyances did you have with Asana that are solved with Notion?


- tasks getting lost easily (still somewhat of an issue with notion but custom database views sorted by due date solves)

- not showing today on top like it used to, unwilling to change or add an option (same as above, database views are awesome)

- forcing us into a flow that didn't really fit the way we worked (notion lets us have a completely custom flow)

- no good way to have documentation stored in

- limited ability to document tasks, like images inline with the description, code blocks, etc.
