ObsidianApps come and go, but the files you create should last.
Our new open source plugin makes it easy to convert your Evernote data to plain text Markdown files that you own.

Ryan Welsh@Kieranmansfield This was me the other day. Hadn’t used EN in years, thought I hadn’t ever really gotten too into it.
Turned out I was being pretty good about journaling in it at one time. It was during a toxic breakup I was going through, AND traveling a lot to take care of my mother when she was seriously ill before she passed.
Quite a memory walk as I migrated all of those old journals into my Obsidian daily notes. Better to have recovered memories, for good or ill.
@RyanWelsh Ah that's absolutely awesome being able to back-date those as Daily Notes. Sorry to hear about your mum, that sounds horrible.
I had a very on and off relationship with Evernote, it really felt like an everything bucket but it never clicked fully with me.
@Kieranmansfield Thx for your kind words.
EN always just felt like a paywalled Google Docs to me. 🤷🏻♂️
For journaling: Periodic Notes and Calendar are the two community plugins that drive it for me. Templater adds special sauce; some complexity, not required, but nice.
@RyanWelsh I really like Periodic notes but I wish they've update the extension soon, i'm starting to feel like it’s not long maintained. :/
I only discovered the active templater on document creation the other day. Game changing. 😂
That’s honestly the best way to describe it, it’s basically a paywalled Google Docs.
