“clean calendar with notion boost”
Pros
Notion is the main place where I manage my tasks and its connection with it makes my workflow noticeably better. Compared with other calendar apps I've used, Cron's interface and overall user experience feel much more polished and enjoyable.
Cons
It works well in a lot of areas but it's missing an AI feature that could automatically schedule tasks. Its Notion integration is useful too though it still doesn't go as deep or feel as complete as I'd like.
