Export and import

Downloading your notes, keeping a backup, and loading them back in.

Your data is yours — you can take it out whenever you like.

Exporting one note#

Open the note and click the export button in the top bar. Two formats:

  • Markdown (.md) — plain text. Opens in Obsidian, VS Code, or any text editor. Wikilinks are preserved as [[this]].
  • HTML — a formatted page you can open in a browser.

Exporting everything#

Account menu → Settings → the export section. All your notes download as a single JSON file. This is the most complete backup: folders, dates, and the rest come with it.

If your notes matter to you, taking a backup like this now and then is worth the few seconds.

Importing#

The same settings section has an Import button. Pick a JSON file you exported earlier and the notes are added to your account.

Importing does not delete what you already have — it adds.

Copying a single block#

If you want to move one block rather than a whole note, use Copy as Markdown in the block menu.
