We’re rebuilding Notion natively on mobile. It’s early, but here is how it feels now!

What frustrates you Notion on your phone today? I want to hear and improve!

[Ji Pei @iampgzp]

@swiftcompanion @grok Oh this is a tool created by our teammate https://t.co/V76G0qc9US
I just made a little more visual change

[Ji Pei @iampgzp]

Many of you told me databases are frustrating on Notion mobile.

Here is the internal native rebuild: smoother scroll, cleaner selection. And no more random reloads!

What do you want to see next?

[Ji Pei @iampgzp]

@everythingkaran not yet. Will share a beta build link soon!

[Ji Pei @iampgzp]

@amitdvl It's hard given it's related to the page content, but we are working towards it. See https://t.co/wmINvAIeNI

YEP 1s

(and it's a complex template btw ⚡️)

[Ji Pei @iampgzp]

@robbatech_id @iRakeshPurohit We are in the last phase of internal testing. We want to fix as much as possible before do beta testing. But I will say within a month.

[Ji Pei @iampgzp]

@0xshilsi internal build! Will share out beta soon.

[Ji Pei @iampgzp]

@mmw_1984 嗯嗯 drawing block 我们会考虑！

[Ji Pei @iampgzp]

@mmw_1984 也在做！

[Ji Pei @iampgzp]

@robbatech_id it’s still going to be slower than views without complex property. But it will be better than before.

[Ji Pei @iampgzp]

@cquanu Sorry what do you mean?

[Ji Pei @iampgzp]

@iRakeshPurohit we will share more when we launch and if people like it.

@niko70129972 中国服务器比较难。但我们会好好做local first

[Ji Pei @iampgzp]

@leeisseeking We consider zoom in and out. But a little hard to think of after zooming how to handle tapping and dragging interactions.

[Ji Pei @iampgzp]

@Lunnzies Just to confirm. So instead editing the property, you want tap to open the page?

[Ji Pei @iampgzp]

@aapakari Thanks. For swiping what do you want the actions?

[Ji Pei @iampgzp]

@Saurabh_Chechi Yes we are doing both.

[Ji Pei @iampgzp]

@TomFrankly Feature request taken. We are prioritizing native rebuild now. But will think of new features next.

[Ji Pei @iampgzp]

For those of you asked about Notion Calendar!

[Julia Rudansky @jrudansky]

We’re rebuilding Notion Calendar natively for iOS.

Here’s a little look at where we are. It’s faster from the first tap. And has new day, week, month, and agenda views.

What’s on your wishlist for Calendar? We might just make it come true.

[Ji Pei @iampgzp]

@alvvst @NotionHQ Got it. Maybe it’s all the update of other pages in the workspace make it high.

Just to confirm you are using it primarily on brwoser(?

[Ji Pei @iampgzp]

I made a promise when I joined Notion:

Get our median desktop cold-start under 1s. We did it this week after 9 major optimizations and fixing 5 major regressions.

Next, I want to focus on improving all interaction latency and make the desktop app feels light. More to come.

[Ji Pei @iampgzp]

@heyJordanParker But I get what you mean. Metrics is just a proxy. As long as people not happy about it, we will keep improving
