How to See Notion Dates in iPhone and iPad Calendar Widgets

Show Notion database dates in calendar widgets on iPhone and iPad. Compare Notion Calendar widgets with a read-only feed in your existing app.

Cron is now Notion Calendar. The widget route you choose depends on which calendar app you want to use, and whether your Notion dates are already visible in it.

Use Notion Calendar鈥檚 widgets

Notion documents home-screen and lock-screen widgets for iPhone and iPad. Its mobile settings let you choose the days shown, all-day events and included calendars. Check the current Notion Calendar app and widget documentation, reviewed November 2, 2026.

Connect your Notion database through Notion Calendar on desktop or web first. Confirm the dates are visible in the app before adding a widget. A widget displays the app鈥檚 calendar data; it does not itself publish those database rows into Apple Calendar or Google Calendar.

Use Apple Calendar or another calendar widget

To keep your existing app, publish your Notion database as an iCal feed and subscribe in that app. Then include the subscribed calendar in the app and its widget settings.

Follow the Apple Calendar setup guide. If the widget is empty, first check whether the event appears in the calendar app, whether the calendar is selected, and whether the subscription has refreshed. Widget availability and refresh behavior depend on the app and device.

The feed is read-only. Change dates in Notion; moving a subscribed event does not update its source page. A feed alone does not guarantee notifications or immediate widget refreshes.

Direct Google and Outlook connections

Premium also supports direct Google and Outlook delivery with two-way updates for supported mapped events when enabled. These connections remain labeled beta. If your chosen widget displays that provider calendar, the event can appear there as part of the account鈥檚 calendar data. The widget itself is not a new sync integration.

See the comparison of feeds and two-way sync to choose the editing model before setting up the widget.
