What is it?

This easy-to-use tool transforms your Notion databases into customizable charts quickly and easily. Offering a variety of chart types such as bar, line, and KPI, it supports features like filtering, grouping, and dark mode. Focused on privacy and flexibility, this tool takes your data visualization to the next level.

Why This Tool?

Dan Santos, while working in his previous company, faced challenges in visualizing development sprints and backlogs in Notion. Frustrated by the lack of available tools, he developed this easy-to-use tool to create dynamic, customizable charts that cater to these needs.

Key Features:

  • Variety of Chart Types: Create bar, line, and KPI charts to suit different data visualization needs.

  • Advanced Features: Supports filtering, grouping, and dark mode for enhanced usability.

  • Privacy Focused: Ensures your data remains secure and private.

Founder’s Insight:

"In my previous company, I worked with Notion and mapped our development sprints and backlog. I didn't find any software on the market that showed me a burndown chart for our sprint. So, I developed this software to fill that gap."
