European alternatives to Notion
Discover European-built tools you can use instead of Notion.
Notion combined notes, docs, wikis and lightweight databases into one tool, and a lot of teams now run on it. It's a US company, and everything you put into it, from meeting notes to internal documentation, lives on American-hosted infrastructure. The European alternatives below cover the same flexible notes-and-docs ground. Some are open source and self-hostable, so your workspace sits on hardware you control. Others are hosted in the EU under GDPR. You may give up a few of Notion's slicker database features and gain a knowledge base that stays in European jurisdiction.
