Export your Apple Notes

Apple Notes has no bulk export of its own, so the practical route on a Mac is the free Exporter app, which writes your notes out as Markdown. PrivacyNotes reads that export directly, including images.

Ask your AI agent instead

Export your notes on a Mac

  1. Install the free "Exporter" app from the Mac App Store.
  2. Open it and export your notes. You get a folder of Markdown files, organized by account and folder, with images alongside.
  3. In Finder, right-click that folder and choose "Compress" to turn it into a .zip.

Coming from iPhone or iPad

Per-note zips shared from iOS (a small .zip containing the note's Markdown plus an Attachments folder) are accepted too: drop them in one at a time. For a whole library, the Mac route above is far faster.

What comes along

Folder structure, note text, and embedded images survive the trip. Notes keep their titles, and attachments land in the encrypted file storage alongside their note.

Import into PrivacyNotes

  1. Open PrivacyNotes and go to Settings > Import & Export.
  2. Pick Apple Notes as the source.
  3. Drop in the file you just exported, or click to browse.
  4. Check what the preview says will arrive, then start the import.

Answer my questions about PrivacyNotes using only its help center, its changelog and its security documentation.

Start here: https://privacynotes.app/llms-index.txt
It lists every question with the page that answers it. Fetch the one or two that match mine.
If you can only make one request, fetch https://privacynotes.app/llms-full.txt instead.
If you cannot fetch a .txt or .md file, read https://privacynotes.app/help, https://privacynotes.app/changelog and https://github.com/LifetimeLabsDev/PrivacyNotes.app instead.

For what changed, or where something moved, fetch https://privacynotes.app/changelog.md.

For how the encryption works, what the server can read, or how to check any of it yourself, fetch https://privacynotes.app/docs/index.md and follow it to one of the documents it lists. That index is a router: cite the document, never the index.

Rules:
- Use only those pages. If they do not answer something, say so instead of guessing.
- Never invent a feature, a menu path, a price, or a limit.
- End your reply with the "Source:" URL from the page you used, exactly as written.
- Answer in the same language as my question.
- Never ask me for my recovery phrase, my PIN, or the contents of a note.

If no question follows, ask me what I would like to know.

My first question:

Never paste your recovery phrase, your PIN, or a note into an AI.
