CVReviewed by Challenging Voice Editorial · Updated Jul 2026How we rate ↗
Notion Calendar started life as Cron, an independently built calendar app that won Product Hunt's Productivity App of the Year before Notion acquired the company in June 2022, continuing to develop it under the Cron name for two more years before fully rebranding it to Notion Calendar in 2024.
That acquired foundation still shows in the product's polish: rather than a calendar bolted onto Notion as an afterthought, it carries over Cron's originally well-regarded design and interaction quality, now extended with the ability to sync and display views from Notion's own databases directly alongside calendar events.
Notion Calendar is free to use. For a Notion user specifically who wants a calendar that displays database views alongside scheduled events, built on a genuinely well-regarded acquired calendar app rather than a newly built one, Notion Calendar's Cron heritage and native Notion integration address that combination directly.
