Origin of the thread
This is a somewhat haphazard continuation of the topic started at this support thread New to Joplin - import question
As the migration was successful, I thought maybe it is derailed enough to start a new thread.
There are not many tools to migrate from Apple Notes and the migration itself is rarely discussed. Turns out there's an exporter able to do it.
I looked around and it seems that this Apple Notes exporter is complimentary to a note taking application by the same author and it is closed sourced. oof.
So, if we want to link to the exporter in our guides, which was my original intention, I feel we have a moral obligation to notify the author and make sure they're okay with it. What do you think?
I mean I understand that it is simply linking to a page, it is not prohibited and whatever. Just thought maybe it is a good precedent to discuss the topic of relying on other apps for some functionality of value outside of Joplin scope.
I don't mind contacting the author myself, but wanted to check up on the community first.
On the other note, I noticed there's another similar but somewhat abandoned open source exporter. Unfortunately, I don't have any Apple device, so I cannot test if it still works. So, if someone could help me out, that would be great.
Another, recent but less documented exporter
UPD: I got my hands on an apple device and in the end couldn't find the export option from Apple ID suggested by the following comment
A random comment (credit to Adam Shand) claiming that now notes can be exported directly from Apple ID. Is it true? can anyone confirm this?
I'm trying to figure out how to get Notes off my Mac and into an open source, Linux (probably Markdown) based solution.
If anyone else stumbles across this page looking for a solution you can now download all your notes, and all their attachments, directly from: https://appleid.apple.com/
