Use this interactive demo to learn how to launch a Notion link directly in the desktop app.

Quick summary

Opening a Notion link in the desktop app instead of the browser gives you full access to Notion's native features and faster navigation. This guide walks you through using the Open in app prompt to seamlessly switch from browser to the Notion desktop client.


Steps

  1. Open the Notion link in your browser.
  2. Click Open in app if the option appears at the bottom of the page.
  3. If your browser asks for permission, click Open Notion.
  4. Wait for the page to load in the Notion desktop app.

📌 Why this matters

Opening Notion links directly in the desktop app instead of the browser unlocks a faster, more integrated workspace experience. The native Notion desktop app offers smoother navigation, better keyboard shortcuts, and tighter OS-level integration than the web version. For teams and power users who rely on Notion daily, knowing how to redirect browser links to the desktop app saves time and reduces context-switching. This simple workflow ensures every shared Notion link opens exactly where you want it.
