faq
q a
Is it safe to import my notes into Notesnook? Yes. The Notesnook Importer runs entirely on your device. Not a single byte of your export file is sent to Notesnook's servers — the notes are encrypted on your device before anything is synced.
q a
Which apps can I import from? Evernote, Simplenote, Google Keep, Joplin, Obsidian, ColorNote, UpNote, Zoho Notebook, Fusebase (Nimbus Note) and Skiff Pages, plus plain text, HTML, Markdown and TextBundle files.
q a
Can I import notes on my phone? No. The Notesnook Importer runs in the web and desktop apps only. Import there, and your notes sync to your phone automatically.
q a
Will my notebooks and tags survive the import? In most cases yes. Notebooks, tags, attachments and formatting are carried over where the source app's export format includes them; the page for each app lists exactly what is supported.

Import notes from any notes app

Notesnook supports importing from most of the popular note apps and common export formats such as markdown, html and text files. Imports run on your device — your old notes are never uploaded to us in the clear.

Try it out

You can try out the importer by opening the web or desktop app and going to Settings > Import & export > Notesnook Importer.

::: info Import from a computer The Notesnook Importer is available in the web and desktop apps only. Import on a computer and your notes will sync down to your phone and tablet automatically.

Is it safe to import?

Not a single byte of your data from other apps is sent to our servers. Everything is processed 100% on the client side inside this browser.

Once the import finishes, your notes are end-to-end encrypted like everything else in Notesnook, and they sync to every device you sign in on.

What happens after the import

  • Imported notebooks and tags appear alongside your existing ones — see organizing with notebooks.
  • Attachments count towards your storage limit, so a large Evernote library may need a paid plan.
  • Take a backup once you're happy with the result.
