I’m on a mission to use as few apps as possible, and Notion has been a huge help on my journey. It’s a powerful and highly customizable service that has allowed me to ditch several apps I now find redundant.
To give you an idea of how versatile this software is, I want to share the four apps I’ve replaced with Notion and why. Perhaps it will motivate you to try it out for yourself.

1. Evernote

I’ve used many note-taking apps over the years. Google Keep was my go-to for a while, but I grew tired of its basic design and limited feature set. I then moved to Evernote, which was a significant improvement that I used for years. Eventually, however, I outgrew it as well. The free plan was too restrictive, limiting the number of notebooks I could create and the devices I could sync them with. More importantly, it lacked the database functionality and customization options that my workflow required.
That’s when I switched to Notion. Its free plan has far fewer restrictions and is generally more flexible. I use it for everything from creating simple notes and jotting down talking points for meetings to making detailed plans and building the various databases I need for work. What I love most is the ability to be as simple or as complex as I want. I can also personalize my pages by adding cover images and icons. With all that in mind, I’m never switching back to Evernote, especially now that its restrictions for free users are even harsher.
