Animated page icons for Notion

A Notion page icon is usually an emoji or a fixed image. Animated icons are images generated for the current day: a calendar icon shows today's date, a countdown drops a day, a progress ring moves forward a little.

Once set as a page icon, it also shows in the sidebar and in links to the page. They're grouped by theme below, and you can change colors, text and other options.

FAQ

Are the animated icons free?

All 32 on this page are free — sign in to create them (free accounts have a limit, Pro has none).

Do the icons really change by themselves?

Yes. Each icon is an image generated for the current date, so dates, progress and countdowns update every day without you swapping anything.

Can I use them outside Notion?

It's just an image link, so it works anywhere that shows images from the web — a GitHub README, a blog or another notes app.
