Notion Native (Tauri)

Lightweight native Linux wrapper for Notion Web, replacing the broken Electron build.

Features

• Multi-threaded: Tokio runtime with 4 worker threads + background prefetch
• GPU-accelerated: Uses system WebKitGTK WebView (Mesa/Vulkan compositing)
• No bundled Chromium: ~1/50th the size of Electron Notion
• Native Rust: Compiled binary, not interpreted JS

Build

cd "/home/allaun/Documents/Research Stack/5-Applications/notion-native-tauri"
cargo build --release

First compile: ~10-20 minutes (downloads and compiles all dependencies).

Install

# Build Debian package
cargo tauri bundle --bundles deb

# Or run directly without packaging
./target/release/notion-native-tauri
