Notion Forms
Notion Forms is the best form builder for Notion.
With it you can easily create forms that automatically fill your Notion tables.
Here are a few ways you can use the Notion Forms widget:
- Create a contact form
- Collect survey responses
- Accept job applications
Why use a form that keeps your data outside of Notion when you can use Notion Forms to keep that information where you want it?
Features:
- Unlimited fields
- Unlimited forms
- Unlimited responses
- Dark mode
All of Notion Forms core features are 100% free.
They have a paid option if you want more customization and to remove their branding from you form.
But for most people the free version works great.
Loom
Loom is the best way to record your screen.
They’re super useful for adding video walkthroughs to the top of your Notion templates and documents.
I use Looms all the time when I’m sending a document to one of my consulting clients.
I’ll record a quick 3-minute video explaining the document and my thoughts behind it.
And you can embed a loom by simple typing /loom.
Spotify
Embedding a Spotify playlist is the perfect way to add some aesthetics to your Notion templates.
Here’s how to add a Spotify widget to Notion:
- Create a new playlist or find an existing one you want to use.
- Copy the URL either from your browser’s address bar or within the Spotify app
- Type /embed in Notion
- Paste the URL
That’s it!
My Cozy Life Dashboard has a Lo-fi playlist embedded to maximize the cozy vibes.
Progress Bar Widget
This Notion widget displays a progress bar to show how much of an item is completed.
You can configure the properties within the Indify dashboard (requires login).
You can now also add progress bars directly within Notion databases too.

Notion Charts Widget
This is one of my favorite Notion widgets.
Easily generate charts you can embed in Notion.
The charts pull data from Google Sheets so you can always keep your data fresh and current.
They have both light and dark mode versions and building a chart is completely free.
Try it below.
Notion Quote Widget
This widget displays a random quote to you every day.
Good for inspiration and they look really good embedded in a Notion template too.
The quotes are pulled from Instagram accounts that you can configure within the Indify dashboard.

Weather Widget (Indify)
Keep track of the weather in your Notion dashboard.
Just input your location, preferred units (F or C), and how many days you want to view the weather for.
That way you can always keep track of the weather in your Notion dashboards

Notion Counters Widget
This widget is simply a way to count things in Notion!
It adds a button that you allows you to increment a number up or down.
We use this Notion counter widget in our free crochet dashboard.
You can also use it to keep score if you want to make a board game or card game template too.
Who doesn’t like counting things?

A fun clock for your aesthetic Notion templates.

Custom Button Widget
If you ever wanted to use custom buttons in your Notion templates this widget is for you!
This was created before Notion added their own button feature, so I’d recommend skipping this widget in favor of Notion’s official version.

The Notion Life Calendar Widget
This widget is a little macabre but it tracks how much of your live you’ve lived so far.
Enter your date of birth and based on an average life span of 90 years it’ll display your days lives and how many days you have remaining.
Could be either depressing or motivating!
Grab it below.
