How do I import TextBundle files?

TextBundle is an open format for moving a note and its images between apps as a single package. Editors such as Bear, Ulysses and iA Writer export it, and the Notesnook Importer reads both .textbundle folders and their zipped form, .textpack.

Exporting a TextBundle

Export from your current app as TextBundle or TextPack. Each package holds the note's text plus an assets folder with its images and files.

If your app offers both, .textpack is easier to move around because it's a single file.

Importing into Notesnook

:::tabs key:platform == Desktop/Web

  1. Open the Notesnook web or desktop app.
  2. Go to Settings > Import & export > Notesnook Importer.
  3. Select TextBundle from the list of apps.
  4. Drag and drop your .textbundle or .textpack files, or click to browse for them. You can add as many as you like.
  5. Click Start importing and wait for the import to finish.

== Mobile

The Notesnook Importer runs in the web and desktop apps only. Import on a computer and the notes will sync down to your phone automatically.

:::

Supported formats

The importer reads whichever text file the package contains, so a TextBundle written as Markdown, HTML or plain text all import correctly.

  • Markdown notes, including headings, lists, code blocks, tables and links
  • HTML notes
  • Plain text notes
  • Images and attachments stored in the package

::: info macOS export folders Files inside a __MACOSX folder — the metadata macOS adds when zipping — are ignored automatically, so you can import an archive straight from Finder.
