Notion Calendar Best Features
Here's some of the best bits of Notion Calendar for our review:
1. Meeting Booking
Inside of Notion Calendar, you can organize meeting scheduling by sharing a link and offering times all within the application - perfect for booking externally.
This is something becoming a lot more common inside of calendar apps, but largely this helps to enhance the way you make and book meetings with others.

The design of Notion Calendar is basic, but beautiful.
Bringing a fresh set of colours, perfect for time blocking and managing your calendar with multiple Google Calendars. It also connect
3. Connect with Notion
Connect Notion pages is a great way to manage events and connect them to important Notion pages. This will be a hit with those who are managing meetings with the meeting notes, and even important notes with the associated pages.
This is one that Notion expect to increase the abilities as the Notion Calendar becomes closer to Notion.

Notion Calendar is free and available to everyone.
Verdict: Is Notion Calendar for Me?
Notion Calendar, like Cron before, is a perfect lightweight calendar app.
Combining scheduling, beautiful design and deeper Notion integrations with pages and databases now makes it the perfect calendar companion to Notion, but even as solo users who want to manage their calendar experience, this is a standalone calendar app that rocks. The design, function and management is easy and just works.
For someone looking for a balance between free, function & design without the more advanced features you'll see in apps like Vimcal, Rise & Mayday, this is it.
Is Cron Calendar dead?
Cron Calendar's logo and branding sunset, but largely most things are the same about Notion Calendar than was with Cron. The founder is now head of Notion Calendar too.

Vimcal, Rise & Fantastical are all great Notion Calendar alternatives.
