Notion AppImage

THIS IS AN UNOFFICIAL REPACK, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

Build the Notion desktop app as AppImage using electron-builder.

Status: MVP. Usable but likely needs patching to be decent looking (in Notion sense).

Usage

Get the app via GitHub releases, then launch.

As an AppImage, it requires FUSE to run.

To create a shortcut in your application menu:

Edit assets/Notion.desktop to point to the AppImage and copy to ~/.local/share/applications
Copy assets/icon.png to .local/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps

Build

Prepare dependencies:

7zip
Node.js & npm
Standard Unix tools

Then run build.sh.

Q&A

Why this over alternatives (e.g. web version)?

Please read my Reddit post.

Why AppImage?

I would rather use the web version than other solutions.

If you are on Arch Linux, I recommend notion-app-electron on AUR which is (co-)maintained by me.

What about notion-enhancer?

notion-enhancer's development is snailing and last release was almost two years ago, at the end of 2021. There are several showstoppers even if you use the vanilla repacked version without notion-enhancer.

This project is inspired by notion-enhancer, albeit sharing no code.
