A wellness challenge for your team with zero new tools for employees. Everyone tracks their daily habits in the Notion workspace they already use. We turn the checkboxes into streaks, points and a company leaderboard automatically.
How it works
1
Get a team space
You get a team space, invite colleagues with one link.
2
Everyone connects their own Notion
Each member connects their own Notion. Their data stays in their own workspace.
3
The challenge runs itself
The company leaderboard and challenge run automatically via nightly sync.
A team challenge from setup to podium
Here is the whole thing, from the first invite to the closing podium. There is no project plan behind it. Once the members are connected, the challenge runs on its own until it ends.
1
The admin gets a team space and invites the members
Setup starts with a conversation rather than a signup wizard. You tell us how many people are joining and which habits the challenge should cover. We set up your team space and hand the admin one invite link to send around. Onboarding is manual on purpose: a challenge that a whole department will see is worth a real person looking at it before it goes live. The admin spends about fifteen minutes on the team space. After that the invite link is the only thing that has to reach your colleagues.
2
Every member connects their own Notion workspace
Each member connects through the official Notion OAuth flow. They duplicate the free habit tracker template, pick the one habit database they want to share and approve the connection. That takes about five minutes per person. Nothing gets installed: no browser extension, no desktop client, no second app anyone has to keep open. The habits stay where the member already works, as checkboxes on a Notion page they own in their own workspace.
What a connected member sees in their own Notion: the daily journal on top, the widget with streak bars and the live leaderboard below.

The challenge runs on the nightly sync
From there nobody files a report. Each night, at every member's own local midnight, we read that day's checkboxes, turn them into points and streaks and update the company leaderboard. The standings are current every morning without anyone touching a spreadsheet. Members are ranked by total points, average points and completion rate, which gives a steady colleague a way to lead without posting the highest raw score. Everyone watches the same leaderboard from inside their own Notion page.

The competition closes with a podium
When the challenge ends it closes itself and shows a podium: the top three by total points, with separate tabs for completion rate winners and for perfect days. Three ways to finish first means the most competitive person on the team does not automatically take every prize. Personal streaks outlive the challenge. Every member keeps their habit history in their own Notion workspace, carries it into the next round and can keep tracking on their own between rounds.

What changes for your team
The usual team challenge
A shared spreadsheet that one person maintains. Somebody has to remind everyone to fill it in. Somebody has to add up the numbers before the Monday standup. By week three the tab is stale, so the ranking stops meaning anything.
Most team challenges do not run out of motivation. They run out of admin.
A challenge on the nightly sync
The habits live where people already work. The leaderboard is fed by the sync, so the standings are current every morning without anyone updating them.
The only manual step left is the one people are willing to do, which is ticking a checkbox in a page they already have open.
What does not change is who owns the data. Each member's habit data lives in their own Notion workspace. We read the one habit database they chose to connect, nothing else. Personal streaks stay personal. The shared part is the scoreboard.
What it is not
This is not a wellness platform. There is no mood survey, no engagement score, no HR reporting layer for a manager to present. It does not replace anything in your people stack. It does one thing: it makes daily habit adherence visible to a group in a way people are willing to opt into. If you run a broader wellbeing program, this sits inside it rather than competing with it.
Built in the open
Notion Habit Heroes is built by one developer, not a sales team. Every feature ships from real use before it reaches a customer. Read the build notes on the blog to see how the product actually works before you connect your team's Notion workspace to it.
Start a free 3-person pilot
Three colleagues can create free accounts today, connect their own Notion and run a competition between themselves before anyone talks pricing. The product is free for individuals, competitions and duels included, so a pilot costs nothing beyond the five minutes each person spends connecting. If it sticks, that is the point to ask us about a team space.
