Migration from Standard Notes to Obsidian
Quick explanation:
- Export Standard Notes to Text (Download Backup - Decrypted)
- Import txt files to Bear, then export as Markdown to your Obsidian vault
Export from Standard Notes Desktop
From the app
- Click on Account
- Under Data Backups, choose Decrypted
- Click Download Backup, and save in a folder of your choice
Import into Bear
- Download Bear if you need to, then open
- Click File > Import Notes
- Bear doesn’t have file names, only titles, so choose “Use File Name as Title”. No point clicking on “Keep Original Creation and Modification Date” as all the exported text files will have the same creation and modification date.

Obsidian
- Once you have your notes from all your old services in 1 folder, use that as the Obsidian vault.
