About
Notion Calendar is a free calendar app for macOS that began life as Cron, the calendar startup Notion acquired, and relaunched under its current name in January 2024. It connects Google Calendar, Outlook and iCloud accounts in one view, shows multiple time zones side by side, and offers built-in availability sharing so booking a meeting means sending a link rather than trading emails. A menu bar companion shows the next event and joins calls in one click.
The Notion integration is the real distinction: databases from a Notion workspace appear directly in the calendar, so project deadlines and sprint dates sit beside actual meetings. It is entirely free, runs on macOS, Windows, iPhone and Android, and ships in 12 languages. For anyone already living in Notion, it is the obvious calendar.

Curator's Note
“If your projects live in Notion, this is the first calendar that actually knows about them.”
