CTB2MD: Cherrytree to Obsidian Migration Tool
Hi everyone!
I’m excited to share CTB2MD, a tool built with Windsurf to help Cherrytree users migrate their notes to Obsidian. I am NOT a developper, I just built a tool I needed since I couldn’t find it anywhere for macOs.
Key Features
- Native macOS application
- Simple drag-and-drop interface
- Preserves formatting and layout
- Smart handling of command blocks
- Direct conversion from .ctb to Markdown
Why I Created This
I needed to migrate my Cherrytree notes to Obsidian and couldn’t find a tool that preserved the formatting correctly, especially for command blocks and special characters.
How to Find and Install
- Go to Github
- Search for “Polyx10/CTB2MD” or “CTB2MD Cherrytree Obsidian”
- Go to the Releases section
- Download the latest version (CTB2MD_v1.0.0.zip)
- Extract and drag to your Applications folder
Or simply visit my GitHub profile: Polyx10
The repository is pinned at the top of my profile.

I hope this helps others in their migration journey from Cherrytree to Obsidian!
