Markdown is the closest thing note-taking has to a universal language. Apple Notes keeps everything free and synced across iPhone, iPad, and Mac via iCloud. Learn how to convert your Markdown files to Apple Notes in a few simple steps below.
Convert your notes
With your Markdown files in a folder or .zip file, the conversion itself takes seconds. We'll use our app Notes Convert, the only notes conversion tool on the market, that runs entirely on your device. You can download Notes Convert here. It's free for 50 notes, and inexpensive for unlimited notes.
-
Import into Notes Convert: Open Notes Convert and set the import format to Markdown. Click Open Folder… and select the folder with your Markdown notes, or click Open File… and select a .zip of that folder. Notes Convert adds the structure of the target format while keeping your content intact.
-
Choose Apple Notes and convert: Pick Apple Notes as the output format, click Convert, choose where to save your notes, and wait for the conversion.
Import into Apple Notes
-
Open the Notes app on your Mac: Import works best on macOS.
-
Import your ENEX file: Notes Convert exports your notes to Apple Notes as an .enex file. In the Notes menu, go to File → Import Notes… (called Import to Notes on the newest macOS), select the .enex file Notes Convert produced, and click Import. Apple Notes turns each note in the file into a new note.
-
Let iCloud sync: Your new notes appear on your iPhone and iPad automatically once iCloud finishes syncing.
Done
Your Apple Notes are ready to be used any way you want. Enjoy!
