Notion
ParentMode's take
13+ with parental oversight; 16+ for independent use.
Notion is a powerful organizational tool requiring sustained attention, abstract planning, and reading comprehension—skills that typically mature in early teens. The app itself has no companion or open chat, but AI features (summaries, writing assistance) mean some data processing occurs; younger users may not recognize or consent to that pattern clearly.

What a parent can do
Data & privacy
Check Notion's App Store privacy label; any text entered—including notes and prompts to AI features—may be used to improve the service, so treat the app as you would any cloud service.
Controls
Use device-level parental controls (Screen Time on iOS, Family Link on Android) to set app limits and review activity; Notion's workspace and sharing settings can also be configured by an adult account holder.
A cautious next step
If your younger teen is new to digital organization, starting with a simpler, offline note app (or paper) can build the habit before introducing cloud collaboration and AI features.
