Quickly jot down notes into your Notion without delay or distraction. Taking a quick note should be super fast. Now it is. Quick Note… • launches instantaneously • is always ready for you to immediately start typing • works offline • gives you a distraction-free blank notepad • allows you to smoothly adjust the text size Here's how it works: You get a blank notepad and can type right away. What you type goes straight into your Notion. It works best with a dedicated page (like "Inbox" or "Quick Notes") but you can easily change pages per note if you want. You can now either keep this note around for a while (good for e.g. a quick shopping list) or just clear the notepad and enter a new note. Either way, it's synced to your Notion so you don't have to worry about finding it later. Minimal by design: Quick Note is focused on purpose. It doesn't display any existing page content. It only submits the text you enter. To read, browse, and format, please use the Notion iOS or Mac app. Current limitations: You can only append to regular pages. Inserting new entries to database pages will follow in a later version.
