CTB2MD: Cherrytree to Obsidian Migration Tool

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

  1. Go to Github
  2. Search for “Polyx10/CTB2MD” or “CTB2MD Cherrytree Obsidian”
  3. Go to the Releases section
  4. Download the latest version (CTB2MD_v1.0.0.zip)
  5. 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!
