Move your notes
Step-by-step guides to export notes from other apps, convert them to Markdown, and turn handwriting and recordings into searchable notes.
Guide
Evernote to Markdown: Export, Convert and Import Your Notes
Evernote does not export Markdown. It exports .enex, one file per notebook. From there you have three paths: a converter that writes .md files and an attachments folder, the Obsidian Importer, or a direct .enex import into Scribelet. This page shows what each path keeps and how to check nothing was lost.

Export Apple Notes to Markdown: Built-In Export, Bulk Tools and Obsidian
Since macOS 26 and iOS 26, Apple Notes exports a note as Markdown on its own: File menu on the Mac, Share button on iPhone. That handles a few notes at a time. For a whole library, or on an older macOS, use the free Exporter app or the Obsidian Importer. This page shows which to use, what each keeps, and how to check the result.
Guide
Handwritten Notes to Text: Phone Photo OCR That Keeps the Original
A phone photo and an OCR step get you 90 percent of the way. The last 10 percent is proofreading numbers and names, rebuilding the structure the page had, and keeping the original image next to the text. This page covers the tools and the workflow, with examples of what the result should look like.
Guide
Lecture Recording to Notes: Transcribe First, Then Structure
A recording becomes notes in two passes. First a transcript: your phone, your meeting tool or a lecture app turns speech into text. Then the part that makes them notes: cutting the transcript down into topics, definitions, examples and open questions, checked against the slides. This page covers both passes, the etiquette of recording people, and what the finished notes should look like.
Guide
Notion to Markdown: Export Your Workspace and Clean Up the Files
Notion exports Markdown natively: the page menu or Settings gives you a .zip of .md files, with databases as CSV files plus one Markdown file per row. The export is usable but messy. Every file name carries a long ID, callouts arrive as HTML, and database views do not come along. This page covers the export, the cleanup, and the two routes into Obsidian.
Guide
OneNote to Markdown: Export Notebooks and Move Them to Obsidian
OneNote has no Markdown export. You get there through Word (export a page, convert it with pandoc), through a Windows exporter that drives OneNote and Word for whole notebooks, or through the Obsidian Importer, which signs in to your Microsoft account. Handwriting is the one thing none of them keep as text. This page shows which route fits your setup and how to check the result.
