## What is Nutshell?

Your Notion databases, one tap away.

Nutshell turns the databases you already have in Notion into a fast, focused mobile app. Tasks, groceries, habits, reading lists, projects — whatever you track in Notion, Nutshell puts it on your home screen and gets you in and out in seconds.

A TAB BAR THAT'S YOURS
Build your own navigation. Each tab on the bottom bar shows a list, a group of lists you pick, or every list from a database — as many or as few tabs as you want.

CAPTURE IN SECONDS
Add new pages with a quick-entry sheet that feels like a dedicated to-do app, not a document editor. Templates can pre-fill properties for you — a page added from your "Today" list is already dated today.

LISTS THAT MATCH YOUR SETUP
Filter and sort pages the way you do in Notion, and choose exactly which properties each card shows. No digging through pages to find the view you need.

EDIT ON THE GO
Check things off, update properties, and append quick notes to a page's content — all without waiting for Notion to load.

WORKS OFFLINE
Your pages are stored on your device. Changes are saved locally first and synced to Notion; if you're offline, just sync again when you're back.

WIDGETS FOR ANY LIST
Put any list on your home screen with customizable widgets. Tap an item to open it in Nutshell or jump straight to Notion — your choice.

FREE TO TRY, PRO WHEN YOU'RE READY
The free version lets you connect one Notion workspace and browse your databases. Nutshell Pro unlocks editing and quick add, home screen widgets, unlimited tabs and workspaces, and every layout — available as a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase.

### 3/5 — Syncing Post Update

*2026-07-31*

I really appreciate that you work to provide this. It’s been beautiful. It’s been running my life for more than a year. Truly, I’m dependent on it for executive functioning of my home and career. 

But an update 2-4 months ago broke something that has caused many pages to stop syncing with the online database & 1-2 have stopped visually adjusting to tag shifts in the app (they do save the changes when opening the page in app). Haven’t had time to research seeing if there’s a way to fix it beyond waiting for another update. 

It’s also ‘forgot’ I had premium several times but that seems to have resolved, and while inconvenient is easily restored through the store. 

Reviewing bc the app prompted for a review today; if I figure it out or it gets fixed I’ll update.

P.S. I miss the ability to edit icons.

### 3/5 — Relative to today filter issues

*2026-04-11*

There seems to be a bug with the “is relative to today” date filter. When set to “past [any period],” tasks due today are excluded entirely — even when a specific time is set (tested to see if it’s a time zone issue - it is not). The range display shows today as the end date (e.g. “April 4 → April 11”), making it look like today is included, but it isn’t. Please fix

### 1/5 — App Store Listing Doesn’t Mention Price

*2026-01-24*

App is read only without getting the premium version. Can’t stand app developers that do that.

### 2/5 — ?

*2025-05-09*

Makes no sense

### 3/5 — No contact option, broken sort

*2025-03-01*

I created a widget for my Notion tasks from a specific table, the sort function doesn’t work. I’ve tried canvas and list, medium and large, different sorting in widget settings. I tried to reach out, but your website just circles back here.

### 5/5 — 좋은 Widget입니다.

*2025-01-31*

이 앱과 함께라면, 노션을 활용하여 Todo Widget을 대체할 수 있습니다. 물론 불편한 UX가 있긴하지만, 개선해주시면 좋을거 같아요.

### 5/5 — Notion Must-Have!

*2025-01-17*

Long have I searched in vain for decent widgets to display info from my myriad Notion databases. Lord knows the official Notion widgets are worse than useless: constantly broken and barely functional.

This app is remarkably efficient and effective. The widgets are highly customizable and well-designed, but the bonus on all that is the app itself which is actually surprisingly useful on its own, giving me a streamlined view of my chosen databases.

A+ excellent work!

### 3/5 — Imported the task but the widget doesn’t work

*2025-01-07*

When I press the widget it shows me a search page, and I can’t find the list that is inside my app.

This app doesn’t have good instructions for setting up widgets - my only use case for this app

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-01-04*

I absolutely love this for displaying my task list as a widget. I don’t know why notion doesn’t have something like this. This app is superior to notion calendar for tasks and other databases you want to track easily on the go. 

The only thing that I have noticed is the app pulls incorrect due dates and I do not see a way to fix it. In my “today” filtered view, it is displaying tasks I have due tomorrow as due today and missing tasks I have due today. The message under the filter says “Jan 4 -> Jan 5” (it seems to be a notion api issue, as other apps I’ve tried also have this issue) I have found a work around but filtering “past week” and “due as unchecked”. Then it shows my today tasks. 

Keep up the amazing work, Devs!

### 1/5 — 时区问题

*2024-12-16*

買了幾個月了，時區問題一直未修復，不清楚基於什麼時區來計算，nutshell內的時間總比notion中晚一天
