Cohesion is an unofficial Notion client for Linux, developed using Electron. Since Notion does not offer an official app for Linux users, Cohesion provides an alternative solution.
Cohesion functions as a wrapper for https://notion.so/, maintaining the integrity of the official webpage (html, css, and javascript). It's important to note that Cohesion is not endorsed, affiliated with, or supported by Notion Inc.
While Cohesion aims to provide a seamless Notion experience on Linux, there are some known issues that users should be aware of:
- Currently, OAuth login is not supported. Users must authenticate using temporary Notion login codes.
- Support multiple tabs.
If you'd like to support the project feel free to buy me a coffee. You can use the GitHub Sponsor button on the top of the page. Thank you!
The easiest way to install Cohesion is through Flathub, where the official Flatpak build is maintained and updated promptly after each release.
Manifest: https://github.com/flathub/io.github.brunofin.Cohesion
There is also a community-maintained package on the Arch Linux User Repository (AUR): cohesion-git
Use the browser extension to open Notion links shared in 3rd party apps such as Slack, directly in the Cohesion desktop app. Their source code is also included in this repository.
Cohesion supports command-line arguments to customize its behavior:
--start-hidden: Launches Cohesion in a hidden state, accessible from the system tray.--disable-spellcheck: Disables spellcheck in the editor. In the future, users will be able to do that through the app settings, and select multiple languages.
