This!
When I tried to export my notes I realized how hard to impossible it was to get them out. An absolute no-go for me. So I gave up on accumulating notes in this otherwise beautiful and practical app.

- dunham 6y agoYeah, being able to get my data back out is a hard requirement for me too. It's one of the things that put me off of OneNote. A few years ago I wrote a few python scripts to export the Notes.app database to html and bear formats. I haven't really maintained them (although I still run it in a cronjob for backups), but I put them up on github in case it was useful to someone. https://github.com/dunhamsteve/notesutils https://github.com/dunhamsteve/notesutils
