Free your notes

Apps come and go, but the files you create should last. Today, we are excited to share a new official, open source plugin for Obsidian called Importer. You can find it in the Plugins directory . Our goal for Importer is to make it easy to convert your notes from a variety of formats to Markdown files that you own and can use with any app that supports plain text files. As we state in our Manifesto : We believe that your data should be future-proof and easily accessible, no matter where you are. By converting your notes to plain text files, you can take ownership over your data and avoid becoming locked into a specific tool. Importer supports converting from a wide variety of apps and formats. These include Apple Notes , Notion , Evernote , Google Keep , Microsoft OneNote , Bear , Roam Research , HTML files , and more . Obsidian stores your files in a local folder on your device, so that you always have control over them, even offline.
