The typical Apple user has a decade and a half of notes stuck in the Notes app, but there is no built-in support for bulk exporting these notes. A free Mac app called Exporter can export all notes as Markdown or HTML files, providing a future-proof backup that any computer can open. This allows users to import their Apple notes into other apps like Notion, Obsidian, and Joplin, although not all of these apps allow direct imports from OneNote or Google Keep. To use Exporter, users must provide access to their Notes, then choose where to export the notes. The exported files are simple text documents formatted in Markdown, with attachments stored in a dedicated folder. Users can import these notes into other apps like Notion and Obsidian using various methods.
