Import Instructions

This page describes how you can import the notes that you just converted to Markdown.

Any Editor

Open the root folder in the editor.

Joplin

Markdown files can be imported to Joplin as described on the website:

  1. In Joplin, go to File -> Import and choose:
    • MD - Markdown (Directory) if you converted without frontmatter. This is the default.
    • MD - Markdown + Front Matter (Directory) if you converted with frontmatter. You can add frontmatter by using the --frontmatter joplin argument.
  2. Select the root folder.

Logseq

Since Logseq doesn't support folders, this will only work with "flat exports". I. e. where all Markdown files are in the root folder. It works for example with Google Keep.

  1. Use the arguments --output-folder "pages" --global-resource-folder "../assets". This exports the Markdown notes to the pages folder and the resources next to it in a assets folder. Just like it is in Logseq. A complete command could look like jimmy-cli-linux takeout-20240401T160516Z-001.zip --format google_keep --output-folder "pages" --global-resource-folder "../assets"
  2. Either copy the folders to your Logseq graph or open them as new graph to check how it looks.

Obsidian

Markdown files can be imported to Obsidian as described on the website:

  • Copy the root folder to you vault or open it as a new vault.
  • Add metadata in the frontmatter by using the --frontmatter obsidian argument.

QOwnNotes

  1. Use the arguments --local-resource-folder attachments --local-image-folder media. This is not required, but aligns with the internal structure of QOwnNotes.
  2. Copy the root folder to your note folder or open it as a new note folder.
  3. If you have subfolders, enable Note -> Settings -> Use note subfolders.
  4. If you want to convert tags:
    1. Use the argument --frontmatter qownnotes
    2. Detect the front matter tags by installing the epsilon-notes-tags or yaml-nested-tags plugin.

A complete command could look like jimmy-cli-linux takeout.zip --format google_keep --frontmatter qownnotes --local-resource-folder attachments --local-image-folder media.

Notion

Markdown files can be imported to Notion as described on the website. This will only import Markdown notes, though. Importing resources seems to be not supported.

UpNote

Import from Markdown will most likely work as described on the website. The feature is behind a paywall, so I couldn't test it. Be aware that export to Markdown is behind a paywall, too!

VNote

Choose "Import Folder" as described in the documentation.
