NotCMS

What is NotCMS?

NotCMS makes it easy to create a CMS from Notion. It's a headless CMS that lets you use Notion's intuitive editor for content creation while providing developers with a type-safe TypeScript SDK for seamless integration with any frontend framework.

Quickstart

Get started with NotCMS in minutes:

npm install notcms

Then use the type-safe SDK in your code:

import { Client } from "notcms";
import { schema } from "./notcms/schema"; // generated w/ npx notcms-kit pull

const nc = new Client({ schema })
const [pages] = await nc.query.blog.list();

How It Works

1. Setup your Notion database - Create content structures in Notion
2. Install NotCMS SDK - Add the npm package to your project

4. Query your content - Use the type-safe API to fetch content
5. Deploy anywhere - Ship to Vercel, Netlify, or any hosting platform

Why NotCMS?

Notion as Your CMS Backend

Your team already knows Notion. Why force them to learn another CMS? NotCMS lets you leverage Notion's collaborative editing, rich content blocks, and database features while maintaining full control over your frontend.

Type Safety Throughout

Never worry about runtime errors from CMS data. NotCMS generates complete TypeScript types from your Notion schema, ensuring type safety from content creation to production deployment.

No Vendor Lock-in

Your content lives in Notion, not a proprietary database. Export it anytime, migrate if needed, and maintain complete ownership of your data.
