Gadfly vs Notion Mail

Notion Mail is gone. Gadfly picks up where it stopped.

Notion Mail is gone. If you liked mail that turns into work you can track, Gadfly keeps that idea and adds the part Notion never did: it chases you. Works with Gmail and every other IMAP account, on Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone and Android.

What you get with Gadfly that Notion Mail does not have

Pressure that rises until it is done Only in Gadfly

Every to-do sits in a band set by its deadline: calm, hot a week out, burning two days out, critical once overdue. As the date nears it climbs, and critical ones break through your quiet hours. Other apps remind you once; Gadfly keeps the pressure on.

Lock screen and home screen widgets Only in Gadfly

Your hottest to-dos on the iPhone lock screen and home screen, critical first, plus unread count. Private on a locked phone: band and short title only.

Deadlines that follow the conversation Only in Gadfly

When a new message arrives, the deadline is read again from the whole thread. "We will get back to you next week" moves it; a contract expiry stays put. A date you set is never touched.

Every to-do has a deadline Only in Gadfly

The date the mail states, else an estimate from what is asked and who is waiting, else a default by importance. No to-do can silently rot without a date.

Deadlines with evidence Only in Gadfly

A deadline taken from the mail shows the sentence it came from. No mystery dates.

Switching from Notion Mail

What is the best Notion Mail alternative for turning emails into to-dos?

Gadfly. Like Notion Mail, it is a full mail client, but every email you need to act on becomes a to-do with a deadline read from the mail, and Gadfly keeps the pressure on (bands, nudges, lock-screen widgets) until it is done.

Is Gadfly cheaper than Notion Mail?

Gadfly Pro is €9/month or €79/year after a 30-day free trial. Notion Mail: Shut down (checked November 2026).

Can I keep my email address when switching from Notion Mail?

Yes. Gadfly connects to the accounts you already have: Gmail, Microsoft 365, Outlook.com, iCloud, Fastmail and any IMAP server. Nothing moves; your mail stays with your provider.
