Import notes into Caliu

Moving in is easy. Caliu imports notes on every platform, and tags come along for the ride.

Supported formats

  • Markdown files (.md): one note per file
  • ZIP archive (.zip): a folder of Markdown files
  • Google Keep (.zip): export a Google Takeout ZIP and upload that archive directly
  • Bear backup (.bear2bk): Bear's export format
  • Notion export (.json): Notion's JSON export

You can select several files at once. Each file can bring in up to 500 notes; anything beyond that is skipped and reported.

How to import

  • In the web app: open your user menu in the sidebar and choose Import notes, then drop files or click to browse.
  • In the iPhone and iPad app and the Mac app: go to Settings, choose Import Notes, and select your files.

What happens to your notes

Hashtags in your notes are recreated as Caliu tags, including nested ones like #work/project. Wiki-style links between imported notes are relinked so they keep pointing at each other, and notes that already exist are skipped rather than duplicated. After the import, a sync brings everything to all your devices.
