10. Kairo Blocks

Kairo Blocks combines time tracking, habit tracking, and goal setting in customizable widgets for Notion. Set reminders, break goals into actionable steps, and view detailed reports of your progress.

The free tier stores data in your browser. Kairo Gold ($3.75/month or $45/year) adds cloud storage, more block types, and a grid editor. If you prefer a full-page tracker over an embedded widget, see the best Notion habit tracker templates.

11. ChartBase

ChartBase (formerly Notion2Charts) transforms Notion databases into live-updating charts. Connect your Notion account, pick a database, and create bar, line, or pie charts with custom branding and labels. Charts can be shared, exported, or embedded directly in Notion pages.
