Master Your Productivity: How to Create Custom Notion Widgets in Minutes
Notion is the go-to workspace for students, freelancers, and teams—but sometimes, your pages need more than text and tables. Imagine adding live timers, habit trackers, progress charts, or even flashcards directly to your dashboards. That’s where Notion widgets step in, transforming your workspace from static to dynamic.
Whether you’re planning your day, tracking goals, or motivating yourself with interactive tools, this guide shows you how to make custom Notion widgets in minutes using Blocky—no coding skills needed.

5 Blocky Widgets to Power Up Your Notion Pages
Here are some fan-favorite widgets that boost productivity (and look great doing it):
1. Pomodoro Timer (Gamified or Zen)
Turn your work into a game with XP and levels, or opt for a Zen variant for calm focus. Perfect for students and remote workers who love time-blocking. Example use case: Track study sessions with a nature-themed plant growth visual as your plant flourishes with each completed focus block.
2. Countdown Timer (Circular Progress)
Whether you’re prepping for a product launch, exam, or big event, the Circular Countdown gives you a live visual tracker with progress rings. Great for project dashboards and keeping deadlines front and center.
3. Habit Tracker (Gamified & Gradient Styles)
Stay consistent with your routines by tracking daily actions—reading, workouts, meditation—with streaks, levels, and visual feedback. Use the Gradient variant for aesthetic planners, or the Gamified version if you like XP and milestone tracking.
4. Progress Tracker (Circular or Segmented)
Visualize your goals or projects at a glance. Use the Circular Progress for clean dashboards, or Segmented Progress for breaking down big tasks into bite-sized steps.
5. World Clock (Analog & Gradient Variants)
Collaborating across time zones? Embed a world clock so your team knows when to meet—without switching tabs. Gradient styles bring life to personal pages, while Analog clocks add a clean professional touch.
