Import from Apple Notes
Apple Notes has limited export of its own, so generate a .zip with an external tool (Notes Exporter, Exporter, and similar) first, then upload it.
Export from Apple Notes
Install an external tool
Install 'Notes Exporter' (Konstantin Bender) or a similar migration tool from the App Store or GitHub. The official macOS Notes app does not support bulk export.
Pick the folders to export
Export everything or only specific folders. Notes Exporter reproduces the folder structure as a directory tree.
HTML or Markdown format + ZIP output
Tabple recognizes .html and .md files inside a .zip, plus images (.png, .jpg) in the same folder. Save the result as a ZIP archive.
Import into Tabple
Go to /settings/import → pick a project
Press 'Choose file' on the Apple Notes card, or drag the file onto it.
Upload + automatic parsing
The folder tree inside the ZIP is converted into the Wiki page tree. Each folder becomes a parent page, and each .html or .md file becomes a child page.
Check the result
On completion, imported, skipped, and attachmentsUploaded are all shown. Check in the Wiki whether the attached images were linked inline.
Conversion rules
- A folder (directory) → a parent Wiki page (empty body)
- Each .html or .md file → a child Wiki page
- Images in the same folder → matched automatically against the path referenced by <img src> in the body or by markdown ![]() → uploaded to R2
- The <h1> in HTML or the first # line in markdown → the page title (extracted from the file name if absent)
- Checklists (- [ ] / - [x]) → the Wiki's task list node
Cautions
- Drawings, sketches, and tables from Apple Notes are flattened into images by some external tools — text search may not reach them.
- External tools cannot read locked notes, so unlock them before exporting.
- For notes still syncing through iCloud, wait until the desktop Notes app has them fully downloaded, then export.
- Past 10,000 notes, split the files into two ZIP archives.
