Our review
Notion is a workspace that combines docs, databases, wikis, and project tracking. You can build relational-style databases with multiple views (table, board, calendar) and link everything together. Collaboration is strong and templates help you start quickly. The learning curve is steeper than simple note apps; performance can slow on very large workspaces.
Free tier is generous for personal use. We recommend Notion when you want one place for notes, docs, and project management. For simpler capture and web clipping, Evernote is easier. For local Markdown and linking, Obsidian is a strong alternative.
