Help & FAQ/Import guides

Import Markdown files

The generic path for everything else: any app that can export Markdown can move to PrivacyNotes. Single .md files work, and so does a .zip of a whole folder.

Ask your AI agent instead

Prepare your files

  1. Export or collect your .md files. Any source works: another notes app, a static site, a folder of READMEs.
  2. For more than a handful of files, put the folder into a .zip.
  3. Drop the zip (or individual .md files) into the importer.

How files are read

YAML frontmatter is honored when present: title, created, updated, and tags fields are used directly, which also makes this the restore path for PrivacyNotes' own Markdown exports. Tags written as #hashtags in the prose are read too. Plain files without frontmatter use the filename as the title and the content as the body. The parser is deliberately lenient: .md, .markdown, .mdown, .mkd and .txt are all accepted.

Zip the whole folder and the structure comes with it. Subfolders are rebuilt as real folders at any depth, and the images and files your notes link to are imported alongside them. Anything nothing links to is left behind and counted, so a folder full of stale screenshots does not eat your storage.

Import into PrivacyNotes

  1. Open PrivacyNotes and go to Settings > Import & Export.
  2. Pick Markdown 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.
