Features

• Frameless, always-on-top floating window (like a sticky note)
• Fetches tasks from any Notion database via the Notion API
• Check off tasks, edit titles, add new tasks, and delete tasks — all synced to Notion
• Filter tasks by a configurable "resistance" (priority/effort) column
• Built-in focus timer (Pomodoro-style "Deep Dive" mode)
• System tray icon with show/hide and quit
• Window position remembered across restarts
• Multi-profile support (switch between different databases)

Platform

Windows only — This app uses the Windows Credential Manager for secure API key storage and builds as an NSIS installer. Cross-platform support is not available at this time.

Security & Privacy

• Your Notion API key is stored locally in the Windows Credential Manager — never in a config file, never in plain text.
• The app only communicates with https://api.notion.com. No other network requests are made.
• No telemetry, no analytics, no data collection of any kind.

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v18+)
• Rust (latest stable)
• Tauri CLI v2

Setup

1. Get a Notion API Key

1. Go to developers.notion.com and create a new integration
2. Copy the Internal Integration Secret (starts with ntn_ or secret_)
3. Share your target Notion database with the integration (click "..." on the database → "Connections" → add your integration)

2. Install & Run

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Lesterhr/Notion-Widget.git
cd Notion-Widget

# Install frontend dependencies
npm install

# Run in development mode
npm run tauri dev

# Build for production
npm run tauri build

3. Configure the App

On first launch, the settings screen will appear. Enter:

• API Secret — your Notion integration token
• Database ID — the 32-character ID from your Notion database URL

The app will auto-detect your database columns and let you map them to Title, Done, Resistance (priority), and Due Date.

Tech Stack
