Let’s break down the difference between Notion and Proper — and why many professionals are switching.

What is Notion?Notion is a popular all-in-one workspace. You can create documents, databases, calendars, and dashboards to manage anything from project planning to journaling. It’s beloved for its flexibility.
But that flexibility comes at a cost: setup time, maintenance, and complexity.
What is Proper?Proper is a lightweight, AI-powered tool built specifically for people who work 1-on-1 with clients. Think: coaches, consultants, therapists, legal advisors.
It helps you create smart client dossiers — a clear, structured view of every client that includes:
No templates, no setups — just clarity.
Notion vs Proper: The Key Differences| Feature | Notion | Proper |
|---|---|---|
| Client-specific focus | General-purpose | Built for client relationships |
| Setup required | Requires templates | None — works out of the box |
| AI summaries & insights | Limited via plugins | Built-in AI summaries & tasks |
| Note-taking speed | Can be slow to navigate | Quick, focused & structured |
| File organization per client | Manual | Auto-attached to each dossier |
| Ready-to-share client reports | Manual formatting | One click PDF/Link export |
Why Choose Proper Over Notion?If you’re spending too much time organizing your workspace instead of serving your clients, Proper is the smarter move.

]]>Most CRMs are built for large sales teams, not independent professionals. They’re packed with features like deal pipelines, lead scoring, and campaign automation — great if you’re selling to thousands of people. But what if you work 1-on-1 with clients?
Whether you’re a coach, consultant, psychologist, or lawyer, your needs are different:
That’s why we built ProperNotes.
Instead of managing “leads” in a pipeline, you create a dossier for each client. It’s a smart profile where you can add notes, upload files, track tasks, and even get an AI-generated summary of your last meeting.
No salesy jargon. No unnecessary complexity. Just a calm, clear space to organize every relationship you care about.

Memory.
When you remember what a client told you last time… when you follow up on what they care about… when you reference their goals without them repeating it — that’s when trust deepens.
But let’s be honest — keeping that mental log for every client, every session, every detail? It’s impossible to do manually.
That’s where ProperNotes comes in.
Imagine having a living client memory for every person you work with.
Your mind stays clear. Your sessions stay focused. And your clients feel truly seen.
“You remembered that?!”
That’s the kind of client reaction ProperNotes helps you create.
Whether you’re a coach, therapist, or sales professional — you’ll never scramble before a call again.
