Notion runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 384 installs a week from npm. Last commit 31 Oct 2026.
Search, read and write your Notion workspaces, with pages as Markdown and typed database queries.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Notion every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
