NotesAppExport

Since Apple doesn't provide a convenient way to export notes from Notes.app, I wrote this AppleScript to automate the process.

It saves each note as folder_name/note_title.html, since HTML is the native format. Unicode titles work, but I'd recommend not to use path delimiters in titles to avoid problems (: and /)

Instructions

  1. Download the script
  2. Edit the variable rootPath
  3. Run!

You can optionally export the script as an application using the AppleScript editor, and make it run with a hotkey, with cron, etc.
