With the acquisition of Cron by Notion in June 2022, two productivity powerhouses came together, creating a buzz in the tech world. After the integration of the Cron calendar, Notion is well on its way to making itself the only app businesses need to continue their smooth operations.
This was indeed a strategic move by this increasingly popular project management app. And it is easy to see why.
Both platforms are committed to inventiveness, and both boast passionate user bases, and this was what made the integration of the two apps absolutely flawless.
With this smart takeover, Notion is helping its users manage their tasks more effortlessly by bringing together the strengths of these two users' favorite platforms. Seamless integration throughout the entire platform is what now makes Notion a productivity app of choice for millions of users.
By the end of 2023, Notion had amassed 35 million users worldwide. However, the user base of this platform is constantly growing as more and more businesses are coming to recognise its value in boosting productivity.
Notion Calendar App
Voted the best productivity app by users during the Golden Kitty Awards in 2021, Cron was a versatile note-taking app that came with a built-in scheduling tool.
The new Notion Calendar, which is essentially an upgraded and next-gen edition of Cron, helps users manage their personal and work calendars on the same platform. It is integrated with Gmail and Google Calendar, allowing for a smooth workflow. Notion is available to users of Mac, Windows, and iOS, and due to its commitment to constant improvement, it will soon be available for Android, too. Plans are also in place for integration with iCloud and Office 365.
What makes this calendar outstanding is the fact that content acquired from Notion’s notes, documents, or deadlines can all be merged and linked on the app. Calendar invites for meetings can be linked to the notes so they are accessible to all participants. At the same time, external apps like Zoom and Google Meet can also integrate with the Notion Calendar. This feature makes sure that all collaborations remain cohesive and that all participants come well-prepared for their meetings.
An added advantage is that Notion Calendar can act as a replacement for external tools like Calendly by making the availability of users visible to others on the team. This outstanding feature replaces the need for other scheduling apps.
The success of Notion Calendar can be gauged by the tweet by the founder of Cron, Rafael Schaad. He pointed out two days ago that a new user cap limit, the Google Auth rate limits, was hindering users from signing up. Though this can be considered a problem in the short run, it is a testament to the popularity of the launch.
Behind the scenes
Cron’s founder, Raphael Schaad, is now heading the Notion Calendar. The vision behind Cron was to allow the world to manage its “most precious resource: time.” Cron took the shape of an interface where users had the power to customize their schedules with efficiency. With the Notion Calendar, users have the capacity to block off time slots on the shared scheduler so that co-workers and teammates can not book that hour, too.
Ivan Zhao, Notion’s co-founder and CEO, explains that “At Notion, our mission is to make software toolmaking ubiquitous.” Expressing excitement about the acquisition, Zhao says that “Notion and Cron come together to bridge synchronous and asynchronous work” so that people have the liberty to join hands on whatever is more important to them.
Notion’s Design Philosophy
Notion believes in a minimalist design. Notion Calendar has clearly taken a cue from there. The app offers users the choice between light and dark mode, according to their preferences.
A Promising Future
The acquisition of Cron by Notion is an exciting step toward changing how users manage their time and collaborate on tasks. This calendar is the first standalone product that Notion has introduced. The team has made a good start and plans to continue progressing.
Notion Calendar promises to become an exceptional software for the future workplace. It points out the importance of time as a fundamental layer in our daily workflows. As users eagerly wait for Android support and additional integrations, the collaboration between Notion and Cron sets the example of a perfect combination of productivity tools.
Your Notion experience can be enhanced further through Blitzit, a powerful productivity tool that helps you stay focused on the task at hand.

A Blitzit tower will help you keep an eye on the day’s tasks and can easily be slid off the screen if needed.

Blitzit, which aims to integrate all major project management platforms, synchronysing all tasks within a single organized list, has the potential to act as a complementary tool to Notion. There is even an opportunity for further integration with the Notion Calendar, so stay tuned for further updates.
