# Import from Apple Notes

> Export your notes from Apple Notes as Markdown and bring them into Craft.

Starting with iOS 26 and macOS Tahoe, Apple Notes can export your notes as Markdown files, including any images and attachments.

There are two ways to bring them into Craft:

* **Moving your whole Apple Notes library?** Use the [import page](https://docs.craft.do/import/apple-notes). It takes the exported folder as a whole, so your images and attachments stay linked to the right notes.
* **Just a few notes?** Drag the exported Markdown files straight into Craft. Quicker, but text only.

Either way, you start by exporting from Apple Notes.

## Export from Apple Notes

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select the notes you want to export">
    In Apple Notes, select each note you would like to bring into Craft. You can select multiple notes at once.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Export as Markdown">
    Go to **File > Export As > Markdown** to create Markdown files from the selected notes.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose an export location">
    Select where Apple Notes should save the exported folder.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info title="On older versions">
  Markdown export requires macOS Tahoe or iOS 26. On earlier versions, Apple Notes has no built-in export. For a few notes, copy and paste them straight into a Craft document. For a large library, updating your Mac is the most reliable path — or convert your notes with the third-party [Exporter](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/exporter/id1099120373?mt=12) app from the Mac App Store.

## Import Your Whole Library

This is the recommended route when you're moving everything over, and the only one that brings your images and attachments along.

Open [docs.craft.do/import/apple-notes](https://docs.craft.do/import/apple-notes) in your browser, then drag the **whole export folder** onto the drop zone — not the Markdown files from inside it. Your images and attachments live next to those files in the folder, so they only make it into Craft if you drop the folder itself.

<Tip title="Drop the folder, not the files">
  The drop zone also accepts individual Markdown files, but then your images and attachments are left behind. Drop the whole export folder to bring everything across in one go.
</Tip>

## Import a Few Notes Directly

For a handful of notes, you can skip the import page and bring the Markdown files into Craft directly:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Craft">
    Navigate to **All Documents** or **Organize** view.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the Markdown files">
    Drag the exported `.md` files into the document list, or click the **Import** icon at the bottom of the left sidebar and select the files.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning title="Images and attachments">
  Markdown files on their own don't carry your images and attachments. To keep them, upload the exported folder on the import page instead.
</Warning>

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Export as Markdown is missing in Apple Notes">
    Markdown export requires macOS Tahoe or iOS 26. On earlier versions, copy and paste your notes into Craft, or convert them first with the [Exporter](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/exporter/id1099120373?mt=12) app.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Images and attachments are missing after import">
    Drop the whole export folder on the import page rather than the individual Markdown files — your images and attachments sit alongside those files in the folder, and are left behind if you select the files on their own.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Import failed">
    Try starting the import again. If the issue persists, contact support.
