I spent years experimenting with note taking/personal knowledge bases. After moving on from Evernote, I even wrote my own clone in Clojure and Clojurescript with a Firefox plugin for web capture.
I am now done with such time wasting nonsense. For several years I have been using Apple Notes (all my Apple devices except Apple Watch, and web browser version on Linux). I bought a simple app that exports all notes to a standard text file format for periodic backups.
- jdshaffer 5y agoAh! Backups have always been by worry. What simple app are you using for the "save as TXT" backups?
- mark_l_watson 5y agoThere is a macOS app called Exporter. Search for "backup Notes" in App Store. EDIT: I just tried running it, and nothing happened. Might be a beta macOS Monterrey problem. EDIT 2: this just worked for me, needs an iPad, but copies Notes as markdown files that then also show up on my Mac: https://wimpostma.com/blog/how-to-export-and-backup-notes-from-apple-notes/ https://wimpostma.com/blog/how-to-export-and-backup-notes-fr...
