How to Install Notion on Linux

Use this interactive demo to learn how to set up Notion as a web app on Linux.

Quick summary

Since Notion has no official native Linux app, you can install it on Linux as a web application using GNOME Web in just a few clicks. This guide walks you through every step, from opening the browser to launching Notion as a standalone desktop app.


Steps

  1. Open GNOME Web on your Linux machine.
  2. Navigate to notion.so in the GNOME Web address bar.
  3. Click the three-dot menu in the top-right corner of GNOME Web.
  4. Select Install Site as Web Application from the menu.
  5. In the Create Web Application window, keep the name as Notion or rename it, then click Create to install the app.
  6. Click Notion in your app launcher to open it.
  7. Log in to your Notion account when prompted to complete the setup.
  8. Notion is now installed and ready to use on your Linux desktop.

📌 Why this matters

Notion does not offer an official native Linux desktop app, leaving Linux users without a first-class workspace experience. Installing Notion as a web application via GNOME Web bridges that gap, giving Linux users a dedicated, app-like Notion window without relying on a browser tab. This method works out of the box on popular Linux distributions that ship with GNOME Web, requiring no terminal commands or third-party tools. For teams and individuals who rely on Linux, this approach ensures full access to Notion's notes, databases, and project management features in a seamless desktop experience.
