About

Inklin

Features
Read full description

Inklin is a simple, native iOS frontend for your existing Notion Tasks database. We are fans of all things Notion, except for the mobile to-do list experience. So we created Inklin (like "inkling", just with a bit of slang), a very light and simple iOS experience with built-in recurring task support. Set daily, weekly, monthly, or custom recurrence patterns, and the app handles the rest automatically. Connect to your existing Notion task database in seconds. Your tasks stay in Notion (your source of truth), while Inklin provides iOS the interface you've been missing. KEY FEATURES • Today, Upcoming, and Completed views • Quick-add tasks • Swipe to complete, postpone, or delete • Lock screen and home screen widgets • Full recurring task support • Due date notifications with snooze • Works offline with automatic sync • Dark mode support • Flexible field mapping for (most) any Notion setup And it's free, so there's that. Built for fellow Notion fans. No account required - Inklin connects directly to Notion via secure OAuth. Your data stays between your device and your Notion workspace.
