Cohesion

Cohesion is an unofficial Notion client for Linux, developed using Electron. Since Notion does not offer an official app for Linux users, Cohesion provides an alternative solution.

Disclaimer

Cohesion functions as a wrapper for https://notion.so/, maintaining the integrity of the official webpage (html, css, and javascript). It's important to note that Cohesion is not endorsed, affiliated with, or supported by Notion Inc.

Known Issues

While Cohesion aims to provide a seamless Notion experience on Linux, there are some known issues that users should be aware of:

• Currently, OAuth login is not supported. Users must authenticate using temporary Notion login codes.
• Support multiple tabs.
