Free tools
Get Your Notes Out.
Intact.
Small, free utilities for the worst part of changing note apps: the export file that opens as a wall of markup, or a folder of names ending in thirty-two random characters. Everything runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
The tools
Two Formats, Handled
Both are free, both run locally, and both produce files you can take to any app.
.enex → Markdown
Evernote ENEX Converter
Turn an Evernote .enex export into clean Markdown files with your attachments extracted. Handles headings, lists, to-do checkboxes, links, and tables, and tells you honestly what degrades.
Leaving Evernote for any Markdown app, or keeping a readable archive.
Open the toolNotion .zip → clean Markdown
Notion Export Cleaner
Notion stamps a 32-character ID onto every exported file and folder. This strips them, resolves the name collisions that creates, and rewrites every internal link so the export is actually navigable.
Anyone who has opened a Notion export and found "Meeting Notes a1b2c3…".

How they work
Local, Free, and Not a Trap
Nothing is uploaded
Every tool here runs entirely in your browser. Your file is read, parsed, and rewritten on your own device. We do not receive it, store it, or see it. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tool keeps working.
No account, no limit
No sign-up, no email wall, no cap on file count or size beyond what your browser can hold in memory. There is no server cost to us because there is no server doing the work.
Your files stay yours
Output is plain Markdown and standard folders. Nothing produced here is locked to Mindly, or to any other app. If you use these tools and never install anything of ours, they still did their job.
Why we built them
Where the Notes Land Afterwards
These exist because we kept meeting the same wall. People are willing to move their notes; what stops them is a file their computer refuses to open, or a folder where every name is followed by thirty-two characters of hexadecimal. That is a bad reason to stay somewhere, so we fixed it and put the fix behind no login.
We make Mindly, a second brain for macOS that captures whatever you throw at it and organizes it on arrival. If you are heading that way, the Evernote converter is optional: the app imports .enex directly, tagging and summarizing each note and linking it to related things you already saved. And if you are heading somewhere else entirely, the output is plain Markdown and it works there too. That is the deal.
