Run two Notion accounts on Mac
One instance per Notion account — personal and work, or one per client — each signed in permanently, each with its own Dock icon.
7-day free trial · $19 once · macOS 13+ · notarized by Apple
What you get
- Separate workspaces. Each instance holds its own Notion account and workspace set.
- Separate sessions. Logins, cookies and local data are isolated per instance.
- Its own Dock icon. Colour-tinted, so the right workspace is one click away.
- Nearly free on disk. Instances share disk blocks with the original app.
Notion is an Electron app, the tier MacDupl isolates most completely, but it isn't in our hands-on verified set yet — so we list it as “Should work”. The 7-day trial confirms it in seconds.
- Notion's own account switcher still means one app, one session, one Dock icon — instances keep two accounts open at once.
- Status is “Should work,” Electron-tier but not yet hands-on tested — the free trial's picker confirms it in seconds.
How to set it up
- Pick the app
Open MacDupl and choose Notion from the list of apps installed on your Mac. - Name and colour it
Call it “Work”, “Personal” or a client's name, and give it one of nine icon tints. - Hit Create
About two seconds later there's a new Notion in your Dock — sign into the second Notion account — workspace data stays in that instance's own directory.
Questions about Notion
Notion already supports multiple accounts — why clone it?
Account switching inside one app still means one app, one session and one Dock icon. Instances keep two accounts open at once, each with its own notifications and its own identity in the Dock.
Can I have one instance per client?
Yes. With Pro you can run as many as you need, and you can group them into named workspaces that launch together in one click.
Is my data shared between instances?
No. Each instance has its own isolated data directory.
What happens when Notion updates?
Instances keep themselves in sync with the original — MacDupl refreshes them, sessions intact.
