DeskDazzle covers the part of Notion most people actually use daily: linked markdown notes, tasks and one place to arrange them. It stores everything on your device instead of in a workspace account. Notion is a far bigger product, and for shared databases and team wikis it remains the better tool.

Questions
Does it have databases like Notion?
No. There are notes, tasks with projects and subtasks, and a kanban board, but no relational database with views and rollups. If that is what you use Notion for, this will not replace it.
Where are my notes stored?
In your browser's storage on your own device. Nothing is uploaded unless you turn on the optional sync, and no account is needed to start.
