Notion 2024 Product Highlights: Calendar, Passkey, Charts & Avatar Tool

Notion rolled out a series of product updates throughout 2024, ranging from a brand-new calendar app and security upgrades for login, to enhanced database charts and a fun avatar generator. This article summarizes these highlights in chronological order so you can quickly catch up on Notion's product developments.

Notion Calendar Official Launch

Notion released the major standalone product Notion Calendar, a calendar app deeply integrated with Notion. It syncs date information from your Notion databases directly into a calendar view, making time management and project planning more intuitive.

Notion Calendar supports integration with mainstream calendar services like Google Calendar, helping users manage all their schedules from a single interface.

Notion Launches Official Avatar Generator

Notion launched an official minimalist-style avatar generator that lets you create personalized avatars with the signature Notion aesthetic.

You can freely choose hairstyles, expressions, accessories, and other elements to create your own Notion-style avatar — perfect for your Notion workspace or social media profile picture.

Notion Adds Passkey Login Support

Notion now officially supports logging in with Passkeys.

Passkey is a more secure and convenient authentication method that eliminates the need to remember complex passwords. You can log in using biometric authentication (fingerprint or facial recognition) or a device PIN. This approach is expected to gradually replace traditional passwords and become the standard authentication method in the future.

Two New Features for Notion Database Charts

Notion's database chart feature received two practical updates:

1. Custom Axis Range: You can now set custom data ranges for the X-axis or Y-axis, allowing charts to display data more precisely.
2. Chart Titles: You can now add titles to charts, making it easy to distinguish between multiple charts at a glance.
