I've had serious difficulty[1][2][3] with Apple's Notes.app over the past 18 months. So much so that I've written some JXA (Javascript for Automation) code to extract all of my notes to self-contained HTML files.
Now that I have 923 notes in HTML files on my hard drive, I can do whatever I want with them. My current plan is to import them into OneNote because they have good app coverage across platforms and they just released what looks like a pretty solid API that lets you import and export notes.
Maybe I (or somebody else) can write an importer for Standard Notes to make it easy to switch from Apple Notes?
[1] Notes not syncing across devices
[2] Search not working at all on Mac
[3] Moving subfolders of notes in the app makes the notes completely disappear
- mobitar 10y agoThe file format for Standard Notes is pretty straightforward, wouldn't imagine being too difficult to write an importer: http://standardfile.org/#import-export http://standardfile.org/#import-export
