Frequently asked questions
Do I need a Notion account?+-
Yes. NotiZen works with Notion databases and pages, so you need a Notion account with content you want to show.
Does NotiZen replace Notion?+-
No. Notion remains the source of truth. NotiZen gives selected Notion workflows a focused Android widget surface.
Can I use several widgets?+-
Basic includes 1 active widget. Pro removes the widget limit along with the limits on data sources, saved Custom Views and daily widget actions, and adds advanced controls.
Is the free widget a trial?+-
Basic is free with no time limit and gives you the core NotiZen workflow: Inbox, Today, Upcoming, unlimited actions inside the app, up to 3 Notion data sources, up to 3 saved Custom Views, 1 active widget and 5 successful widget actions per day. Basic is not a trial. There is currently no Pro free trial.
Why do I have to share pages with NotiZen?+-
Notion integrations only access content you share with them. This is why connecting Notion and making a database accessible, directly or through a page that contains it, are separate steps.
Why don't I see my Notion databases?+-
If a database does not appear, open "Update shared pages", find that database in Notion or a page that contains it, select the relevant content, confirm access, then return to NotiZen and try again.
Does NotiZen work offline?+-
NotiZen can keep previously rendered widget content visible, but setup, fresh Notion data, Google Calendar events, and property edits need network access.
How do updates work?+-
App updates come from Google Play. NotiZen may show an update banner when a newer version is available or when a downloaded update needs to be applied.
Where can I get support?+-
Use the support page for setup help, feedback, and community links.
Could not find the answer?
Support can help with setup, missing Notion databases, billing questions, and Android widget behavior.
