Migrating my markdown notes from Obsidian to Apple Notes

Sun, 03 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

So I wanted to migrate my markdown notes from Obsidian to Apple Notes. Apple Notes did not support import from markdown. I also wanted to maintain the folder structure.

For every file I also wanted to maintain the title of the note. I wanted to prepend the title to the HTML file so that when I import the HTML file to Apple Notes, the title is correctly set. I did this by adding the file name (without the extension) as an h1 tag to the HTML file.

Converting HTML to Markdown using Markdownify

I had some HTML content that I wanted to convert to markdown.

The simplest tool I found to do this effectively was a python utility called Markdownify.

I used Nix Shell to install it:

nix-shell -p python311Packages.markdownify

And to do the conversion I just did:

markdownify myfile.html > myfile.md

where myfile.html is the name of the file I wanted to convert and myfile.md in the name of the markdown file it got converted to.
