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.
