Short answer
In Notion, open the page → Share → Publish → publish to web, copy the notion.site link, and paste it into a URL to APK maker. The app opens your published page full-screen and reflects every edit live. Visitors don't need a Notion account.

Publish the right way
- Publish the top page of the area you want in the app. Sub-pages are published with it.
- Turn off Allow editing and Allow comments unless you really want app users to change things.
- Decide on Allow duplicate as template — on, people can copy your page into their own workspace.
- Paid plans can use a custom domain or a nicer
yourname.notion.sitesubdomain. Either works in the app.
Steps
- Copy the published linkUse the
…notion.site/…link, not the privatenotion.soworkspace link. - Create the appPaste the link in Website to APK, name it, add your icon.
- Pick a light theme colourNotion pages are white by default; a dark status bar looks out of place.
- Build and testOpen toggles, database views and links between pages.
Notion-specific behaviour
| Thing | In the app | Note |
|---|---|---|
| First load | Slower than a normal site | Notion's public pages load a large script bundle; later pages are quicker |
| Databases (table, board, gallery) | Viewable, filterable | Editing needs a signed-in Notion account |
| "Open in Notion" / sign-in buttons | May try to open the Notion app | Fine — that's expected |
| Embeds (Maps, YouTube, Figma) | Load | Heavy embeds slow the page |
Good Notion apps people actually install

- A team handbook new hires open on day one.
- A course companion with lesson notes and links.
- A community job board built on a database gallery.
Questions people ask
Do app users need a Notion account?
No. Published pages are public; anyone can read them in the app.
Can my Notion app work offline?
Not with a published link. If you need offline, export the page as HTML (••• → Export → HTML) and build it with HTML to APK — it becomes a static snapshot.
Will edits in Notion appear in the app?
Yes, as soon as Notion saves them — there's no publish button to press again.
