Step 2: Export Notes from EvernoteĮxporting notes from Evernote is straightforward. We will export notes from Evernote into the obsidian/export folder and then convert them into the format needed by Obsidian in the obsidian/vault folder. That’s all the preparation we need to do. Your new folder structure should look something like this: Figure 1. Now select the obsidian folder and create two new subfolders, one called vault and the other called export. Now right click in the empty space below those folders and select New Folder. You should see your top level folders like Desktop and Documents. Open Finder and click on your home icon in the Favorites bar on the left. We’ll keep the vault location simple for this example. (Other cloud storage services are not yet officially supported–see Sync your notes across devices). You can put the folder you will use as your Obsidian vault almost anywhere, even on a network attached storage drive or in iCloud Drive or Obsidian Sync. Obsidian stores notes in ‘vaults’, which are just folders in your macOS file system. It assumes you have not yet created a vault for your Obsidian notes and that you are not put off by the thought of using macOS’s Terminal program.
This post will describe the migration process for macOS. The bad news: it’s neither simple nor perfect. Now all you need to do is migrate your Evernote notes to Obsidian. Congratulations! You’ve decided to cut the umbilical cord to Evernote and take control of your notes in Obsidian.
