ChatGPT + Notion Split View on iPad: The Complete Guide

You can use ChatGPT and Notion in Split View on iPad by opening one app, swiping up from the bottom to open the Dock, then dragging the second app to the left or right edge of the screen until it snaps into place.

Once you have both apps open side by side, you will quickly see why this particular combination earns a permanent spot on your Home Screen.

Why ChatGPT and Notion Work So Well Together

Notion is where your notes, projects, and knowledge base live. ChatGPT is where you think out loud, draft, and get unstuck. Running them side by side removes the constant app-switching that breaks concentration and slows work down.

Here are a few workflows where the pairing genuinely pays off:

• Drafting and refining in one pass. Paste a rough Notion page excerpt into ChatGPT, ask it to tighten the language or restructure the argument, then copy the result straight back — no clipboard juggling across multiple app switches.
• Building structured notes from a conversation. Start a brainstorm or research session in ChatGPT, then pull the useful output directly into a new Notion page while the conversation is still in front of you. You can cross-reference and edit in real time rather than trusting your memory.
• Meeting prep and live note-taking. Open your Notion meeting agenda on one side, use ChatGPT on the other to generate questions, summarize background material, or expand bullet points into talking points — right before or during the call.

The friction is not in the apps themselves. It is in getting back to this exact Split View layout every time you need it. That is the problem Splicon solves.

How to Set It Up with Splicon

If you have not got Splicon yet, Download Splicon free from the App Store before working through the steps below.

1. Open Splicon and select your pair. Search for ChatGPT and then Notion and select them as your Split View combination. Splicon pulls in the real app icons and lets you preview how they will look together.
2. Pick a split style and save the icon. Choose how you want the icons composed — side by side, overlapping, or with a divider — then generate the combined icon and save it to your Photos library.
3. Build the shortcut. Open the Shortcuts app, create a new shortcut, and add an "Open App" action configured to open both apps in Split View. When prompted to choose an icon for the shortcut, select the image you just saved from Photos.
4. Add it to your Home Screen. Tap the shortcut name at the top, choose "Add to Home Screen", position it wherever makes sense, and tap Add. You now have a single icon that drops you straight into the ChatGPT and Notion Split View every time.

A Combination Worth Keeping Accessible

The ChatGPT and Notion pairing covers a wide range of knowledge work — writing, research, planning, and review. The Split View itself takes about thirty seconds to set up manually each time, which does not sound like much until you realize you are doing it five or ten times a day.

Turning it into a Home Screen shortcut with a recognizable custom icon means you open the right environment immediately, without thinking about it. That is the kind of small improvement that compounds quietly over weeks of daily use.
