Importing from Apple Notes into Keep It
To import from Apple Notes, use the Notes Importer app. This requires Keep It 1.9 or later running on macOS 11.0 or later:
- Download and unzip the importer: NotesImporter.zip
- Open the Notes Importer application
- Read the instructions for information about importing locked notes
- Click Start
- The first time you use the importer, you will need to give the app permission to control Notes
- Once all your notes have been exported, Keep It will open and show some options for how to import them
- Click Import
There are some shortcomings with the Notes app’s export capabilities:
- Checklists are exported as bulleted lists
- Clickable links whose text is not a URL or a link preview are not exported, including links to other notes
- Smart Folders cannot be identified, and therefore those will be imported as regular folders with duplicate notes. Remove these after import.
- Attachments will be at the end of the note
- Hashtags in notes are not exported
