Apple Notes

Export your notes from Apple Notes as Markdown and import them into Craft.

Starting with iOS 26 and macOS Tahoe, Apple Notes can export your notes as Markdown files, including any images and attachments. You can then import the exported notes into Craft.

Export from Apple Notes

Mac

1. Select your notes

   Open Apple Notes and select the notes you want to export. You can select multiple notes at once.

2. Export as Markdown

   Choose File > Export as > Markdown and choose a destination. Your notes are exported as Markdown files, with images and attachments saved alongside them.

iPhone & iPad

1. Open a note

   Open the note you want to export.

2. Export as Markdown

   Tap the Share icon in the top right corner and choose Export as Markdown.

On versions before macOS Tahoe, Apple Notes doesn’t offer built-in export. You can use the third-party Exporter app from the Mac App Store to convert your notes to Markdown files.

Import into Craft

To keep your images and attachments, import on a Mac using the TextBundle format. On other platforms you can import the exported notes as Markdown, but images and attachments are not included.

Mac

1. Open Craft

   Navigate to All Documents or Organize view.

2. Click the Import icon

   You’ll find it at the bottom of the left sidebar.

3. Choose TextBundle

   Select the folder you exported from Apple Notes. Your notes are imported together with their images and attachments.

iPhone & iPad

1. Open Craft

   Navigate to All Documents or Organize view.

2. Open the Import menu

   Tap the three-dot menu in the top right corner and choose Import.

3. Choose Markdown

   Select the Markdown files you exported from Apple Notes.

Markdown import doesn’t include images and attachments. To keep them, import on a Mac using the TextBundle option.

Web & Windows

1. Open Craft

   Navigate to All Documents or Organize view.

2. Click the Import icon

   You’ll find it at the bottom of the left sidebar.

On Web and Windows, Markdown is the only format that works for Apple Notes exports, which means only text and text formatting are imported, no pictures. To keep images and attachments, import on a Mac using the TextBundle option.
