Notes export?

[paradeiser]

Dear Forum,

does anybody know a good way to export all Note Station Data to a known standard format?
The export .nsx file seems to be a proprietary format.

I'd like to import it into Bear (for testing if it's better) Import notes into Bear | FAQ & Support | Bear App

Thanks,
marko

There's this project on Github that seems to do what you want. It can convert to Markdown format (.md) as this is what Bear uses, I believe.

No direct experience of the tool myself as I dont use Notes Station.

Give Joplin a look as well. Multiplatform, active community, engaged developer.

Joplin makes a good impression, I like the plug-in architecture and features.
It also plays well with Synologys WebDAV (hassle-free setup).

What I miss compared to Bear, is this mixed markdown/wysiwyg editor mode:
In Bear you can type md and get kind of wysiwyg display (with greyed out markup symbols).
In Joplin It's either pure markdown or only richt-text editor (where it doesn't understand md symbols).
Or is there something similar to Bears mixed-mode in Joplin?

Never tried Bear, so I cant say. Joplin wins for me after a long arduous trip from Evernote.

I grappled with exactly this dilemma a couple of years ago. Joplin has the benefit of being multi-platform, inc. iOS; but I found the separation of md editing and viewing modes unintuitive. I also had a couple of occasions when Joplin messed up the sync between devices; though tbf it was when the dev was making changes to the underlying DB / encoding he uses so this may well be resolved now.

It ended up with me moving back to a combination of Bear on the Mac for my more creative notes (I do photography), and plain old text files openable with any text editor for more technical / work oriented stuff.
