About Brink
Brink sits as a small pill beside the notch, or on the left, right or top edge of the screen. Hovering it unfolds a strip of pages you have pinned from Notion, and clicking one opens a panel where you can edit it in a Markdown-style editor. Pinned task lists show due dates and snoozing, and a shortcut opens quick capture from anywhere. It suits people who keep their working notes in Notion and want them one glance away.
It requires macOS 14 or later and a Notion account; you connect Brink with a Notion integration token, which the app keeps in the macOS Keychain. The app is free but not notarized, so the first launch needs right-click, then Open. Brink is not affiliated with Notion Labs, which owns the Notion trademark.
