Obsidian Importer now helps you easily convert your Apple Notes data to portable files that you can use with any Markdown app. Supports tables, images, drawings, scans, PDFs, and links introduced in iOS 17.

Three months ago, we introduced Importer as an open-source project. Thanks to contributions from the Obsidian community, Importer supports converting your data from Notion, Evernote, Google Keep, Microsoft OneNote, Bear, Roam Research, HTML files, and more.

The latest version of Importer tackles the most challenging format to date: Apple Notes.

Unfortunately, Apple Notes is one of the few note-taking apps that does not have a built-in export feature. Because Apple Notes uses a proprietary format, it makes data complicated to migrate, and nearly impossible to use in conjunction with other tools.

Apple Notes supports content such as tables, images, drawings, scans, and PDFs. As of iOS 17 it also supports links between notes. This breadth of content makes the conversion process more challenging. Here’s the good news: all of these content types can now be extracted using Obsidian Importer.

So, how does it work? Apple Notes stores your data in a local SQLite database. This data is in an undocumented format, but it’s possible to decode how it is stored and convert it. Decoding the Protocol Buffers stored in the Apple Notes database was made possible by the work of Jon Baumann from Ciofeca Forensics and its adaptation for Obsidian by Mir Novov.

Whether you’re planning to migrate away from Apple Notes or just want to back up your data, the new Obsidian Importer gives you the freedom to easily convert your Apple Notes to portable, durable files.

Look at the BLUE dot: what path does the RED dot follow?

Now, look at the RED dot: what path does the BLUE dot follow?

And, what if you look at the BLACK dot?

@JBJSmeets @jimmymgoode There are several individuals who switch from high to low and low to high, so there could be a negative correlation. The data can tell.

[Robert Volcic @VolcicR]

@jimmymgoode @JBJSmeets Correlations between A and B, and A and C will be negative, correlation between B and C will be positive.

@TheHandLab Anything that isn’t close to -sqrt(1/2) should be surprising, no?
