Secret weapon

This app maximizes your human potential for capturing thoughts (e.g., ideas, reminders, etc.). I stumbled Instant Notion shortly after its inception, and cannot imagine my life without it. It is one of the few widgets designated to the first page of all my Apple devices.

Any time my hyperactive brain surfaces another idea or random thought, I use Instant Notion to immediately capture it before I inevitably forget.

I am a Pro subscriber, and it is a no brainer for my personal workflow.

At one point I reached out to the developer on Twitter and they promptly replied with helpful insight.

Since developing apps starting in 2009, this is easily in my top five…top three even?

Nerd reference: This is the Apollo of thought capture (short-hand note taking).

The only way to capture your notions quickly

The Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets are a game changer. Instantly tag your notions with database relevant tags!

So far it doesn’t work with inline databases so you won’t see your tags from there autogenerated. I do wish it has that function, but it’s such a great app I’m willing to wait for future update that hopefully includes it.

Also it would be super cool if it uploaded your notions to the app itself. But you can quickly input the notions yourself from this app so again, willing to wait for that function.

Perfect

Just what i needed. You get 1 database for free and have to pay for more, but that’s more than enough for me personally. 10/10 would recommend

Thanks a lot for taking the time to review the app! Let me know if you’d be missing any features, so happy the app is useful ☺️

Exactly the app I was looking for but…

The premium features are just too expensive. $4.50/m or $20/yr is ridiculous for an app that just drafts your Notion notes.

Here’s the thing… I literally would happily pay $1/m for this, and I would also instantly pay $11/yr if that option was there.

This app is something I think most Notion lovers would definitely use and pay for… since Notion will never create this feature themselves.

But I just really don’t think a ton of people will pay almost $5/m for it. I would even buy the app outright for a one-time $15.

I understand the need to keep a business going but in the long term I don’t think it’ll payoff.

I don’t NEED the widgets, more databases, and whatever else the premium brings. It’s more of a “nice to have.”

Hey Eddie, thanks for sharing the feedback, really appreciate it! Pricing is super hard for apps like this, as on one hand it's months of work to create a useful app (maaany weekends!), but on the other hand I'm aware that not everyone will happily pay $20 a year for a utility app. While I'll continue to experiment with prices, in the meantime I decided to try to make the free version of the app really useful to 'typical' users and put the more advanced features to the Pro version, to give users a choice. Please reach out if you'd have any other ideas or if you'd like to test the Pro features - gierekg@gmail.com Have a great day, Michał

Fantastic app

Does what it says and fills my need for quick notes! Would love a larger “save/submit” button when saving as the clickable region is small, but would be amazing if it was the entire phone wide space and slightly taller too.

Keep up the great work!

Edit 09 Oct 2023: Hey there, I've now released version 2.2.2 which increased the touch area of the 'Save' button, hopefully it's easier to use now. Thanks a lot for suggesting it! --- Hey, thanks for your feedback, glad you enjoy using the app! Great ideas about the save/submit button, it will be added in one of the next releases. Have a great day! Michał

Changes how useful Notion is

Being able to quickly add to databases (even offline) is a gamechanger for how you can use Notion. This app is a must!

Thanks a lot for a positive review, really appreciate it! Have a great day, Michał

A great way to triage quickly into Notion

This just works. Solid. Always works. I have tried other things, this beats them all. I wish it could have also a way to pass, not only text and tags, but a Date field. That would be awesome. Hopefully the developer is thinking about it…. Like the the recent addition of clickable URL links is fantastic!!
