Export Apple Notes to Notion
Move your whole Apple Notes library into Notion — dates, folders, and attachments intact. Free, runs on your Mac, no notes leave your machine.
What carries over
A faithful export — not a flat dump. Everything below transfers automatically.
Folder hierarchy
Your Apple Notes folders become Notion page hierarchy, not a flattened pile.
Creation & modification dates
Original dates are written into each page so your timeline stays accurate.
Attachments, per note
Images, PDFs, and scans are grouped per note in the import ZIP — no cryptic flat folder.
Internal links
note:// links between notes are rewritten so they keep working in Notion.
Apple Notes has no bulk export and no public API, so getting years of notes into Notion usually means copy-pasting one note at a time or settling for a flat dump that loses your structure. Carry reads your entire library and writes a clean, Notion-ready import that keeps your folders, creation dates, and attachments where they belong.
The export is completely free with no limit on library size. Everything happens locally on your Mac — your notes are never uploaded.
How to export Apple Notes to Notion
- 1
Pick Notion as your destination
Open Carry and choose Notion. The output is shaped for Notion’s ZIP importer.
- 2
Scan your library
Carry counts your notes, folders, attachments, and any locked notes, and estimates the time.
- 3
Export
Carry produces a Notion-ready ZIP with per-note attachment folders and preserved metadata.
- 4
Import into Notion
In Notion, choose Import → Markdown & CSV and select the ZIP. Your structure lands intact.
Built for Notion’s importer
Notion’s ZIP importer handles relative attachment paths correctly when the export is structured right — which most exporters get wrong. Carry groups each note’s attachments in their own folder and uses forward-slash relative paths so images and PDFs resolve instead of breaking on import.
Know exactly what transferred
Every migration ends with a verification report: notes processed, attachments by type, locked notes handled, and any lossy conversions flagged — no silent failures.
Frequently asked questions
Can you export Apple Notes to Notion directly?+
Not from Apple Notes itself — there’s no bulk export and no public API. Carry reads your library on your Mac and produces a Notion-ready ZIP you import via Notion’s Import → Markdown & CSV option.
Will my attachments and images come across?+
Yes. Images, PDFs, scanned documents, and other attachments are exported and grouped per note so Notion’s importer resolves them correctly instead of dropping them.
Do my creation dates survive?+
Yes. Original creation and modification dates are written into each note’s frontmatter so your timeline stays intact in Notion.
Is it free?+
The full export is free with no cap on library size. Optional AI enrichment (auto-titles for untitled notes, a cleaned-up tag taxonomy, duplicate detection) is a one-time $19 unlock.
Do my notes get uploaded anywhere?+
No. Everything runs locally on your Mac. Your notes are never sent to a server unless you explicitly opt into cloud AI with your own API key.
