What CoIsland watches in Notion

Each monitor kind brings its own query and its own card in the notch.

How to watch Notion from your Mac’s notch

Each monitor is a ring in the notch that counts down to its next check. When a row starts matching, the notch opens for a few seconds and the card lists it as TASK-12 · In progress · Due: 2026-09-25: which task, where it stands, and when it is due.

A click opens the alert in CoIsland, where the page fills in live: every property, the page’s text and its open comments, and Open in Notion. Connect Notion covers the token, every kind and every error; all connectors share one page.

Connect it in three steps

  1. Create a personal access token in Notion's Developer portal, with the Notion API capability.

  2. Add a Notion connector with it. Test connector says who you are and how many databases you see.

  3. Pick a database by name, say which people property is you, and choose when it alerts.

Built for Notion

  • Your own token, which reads what you can. No app to register.
  • Read only: it never edits a page or resolves a comment.
  • An internal integration's secret works too, for the pages shared with it.
  • The token stays in the macOS Keychain and goes only to Notion's API.

Then hand it to an agent

A click on the alert opens the agent in a terminal under it, with the whole alert as its first message.

Notion questions

Can every Notion member create a personal access token?

Full members can on the Plus plan. On Free and Business only workspace owners can, unless an admin allows members (Business); on Enterprise, admins pick the groups. Guests cannot. Without one, use an internal integration's secret and share the databases with it.

Does CoIsland see my whole workspace?

It reads only the databases and pages your monitors name, with what the token can see. A personal token sees what you see; an integration sees only what is shared with it.

Will it alert me about every row already there?

No. The first check learns what is already there and stays quiet; after that, only what is new alerts.
