Notion Boost is a Chrome and Firefox browser extension that adds more than twenty optional features to Notion.so, aimed at Notion users who want to change how the web app looks and behaves without waiting for Notion itself to add those options.
What it is
Notion Boost lives in the browser-extension ecosystem, distributed through the Chrome Web Store for Chrome, Edge, and Brave, and through Firefox Add-ons for Firefox. It is written in TypeScript and licensed under GPL-3.0. The project targets Notion.so specifically, and its homepage and download hub is https://gourav.io/notion-boost. The extension does not replace Notion itself; it replaces the stock Notion web interface defaults for users who want different defaults, such as small text and full width enabled from the start.
The concrete problem is that Notion's web interface exposes a fixed set of display and navigation choices, and some users want different ones. Notion Boost adds a sticky outline, also described as a table of contents, so the outline remains visible while scrolling. It sets small text and full width by default, adds a scroll to top button, hides the slash command menu and help button, hides comments, and makes text bolder. These are presentation and interface changes applied on top of Notion in the browser, not changes to Notion's data model or server.
Key capabilities
- Sticky outline, described in the README as a table of contents, keeps the outline visible during scrolling.
- Small text enabled by default, instead of requiring a per-page change.
- Full width enabled by default.
- Scroll to top button for returning to the top of a page.
- Hide slash command menu, removing that menu from view.
- Hide help button, removing the help control from the interface.
- Hide comments and bolder text, both listed among the extension's features.
The README states that the extension adds 20+ features and points to https://gourav.io/notion-boost#-currently-added-features for the full list.
Who uses it and how
- Individual Notion users on Chrome, Edge, or Brave install the extension from the Chrome Web Store listing with ID
eciepnnimnjaojlkcpdpcgbfkpcagahd.
- Firefox users install it from the Firefox Add-ons listing for Notion Boost.
- Users who want a persistent reading and navigation layout enable the sticky outline together with small text and full width by default.
- Users who want less interface clutter hide comments, the help button, and the slash command menu.
- Users who want a feature that is not present suggest it through the GitHub issues page at https://github.com/GorvGoyl/Notion-Boost-browser-extension/issues.
No team-scale, server-side, or self-hosted deployment is described in the facts. This is a browser extension installed per user and per browser.
Getting started
Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store listing at https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/notion-boost/eciepnnimnjaojlkcpdpcgbfkpcagahd for Chrome, Edge, or Brave, or from the Firefox Add-ons listing at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/notion-boost/ for Firefox. The homepage at https://gourav.io/notion-boost carries the feature list and update notes.
How it compares
No list of paid products that this project replaces is provided in the facts, and no similar tools are named in the facts either. It therefore stands alone in this registry on the evidence available: a GPL-3.0 TypeScript browser extension for Notion.so, published openly on GitHub with 549 stars, 50 forks, and 100 open issues.
When to use it — and when not to
Use it if you run Chrome, Edge, Brave, or Firefox and want the listed interface changes applied to Notion.so without operating any server, database, storage, or mail service of your own. Do not pick it if you need changes outside the browser, if you use a browser other than the four named, or if you need a project with a low open-issue count; the repository shows 100 open issues, and the last push recorded is 2026-06-03. Redistribution and derivative work are governed by GPL-3.0, which matters if you intend to fork and ship a modified build, and the README excerpt itself is short, so the homepage rather than the repository carries most of the feature detail.
