Notion lacks a default cover/placeholder option for Gallery View and independent mobile layouts, making manual image management tedious and mobile experience awkward.

Existing solutions do not offer gallery view default covers or independent mobile layout customization; users must manually manage images and accept the desktop layout on mobile.
