Import Notes
Bring your notes from Markdown, Notion, Obsidian, HTML, or Evernote into OpenCharts. Each imported file becomes a separate Notes project that you can edit, style, and share.
How to Access
Go to Settings → Integrations and click Open Importer, or navigate directly to /settings/import.
Supported Formats
Markdown (.md)
A single Markdown file. Headings, lists, code blocks, inline formatting, links, and images are all preserved.
Notion (.zip)
A Notion workspace export in Markdown & CSV format. Each page becomes a separate note. Folder hierarchy is reflected in note titles. CSV database exports are skipped.
How to export from Notion:
- Open Notion → Settings & Members → Settings.
- Scroll to "Export all workspace content".
- Choose "Markdown & CSV" as the export format.
- Download the resulting .zip file.
Obsidian (.zip)
A ZIP archive of your Obsidian vault. [[Wiki-links]] are converted to standard Markdown links. YAML frontmatter is stripped (tags are extracted). The .obsidian/ config folder is ignored.
How to export from Obsidian:
- Open your vault folder in Finder / File Explorer.
- Select all files and compress to a .zip.
- Upload the .zip file to the importer.
HTML (.html / .htm)
A single HTML file. The page title is extracted from <title> or the first <h1>. HTML is converted to Markdown via Turndown, then to BlockNote blocks.
Evernote (.enex)
An Evernote export file. Each <note> in the ENEX XML becomes a separate note. Tags and creation/update timestamps are preserved. Embedded images (en-media) are not imported.
How to export from Evernote:
- Open the Evernote desktop app.
- Right-click a notebook → Export Notes…
- Choose "ENEX (.enex)" format.
- Save the file and upload it to the importer.

What Gets Imported
- Headings (H1–H6, mapped to BlockNote's 3 levels)
- Paragraphs and inline formatting (bold, italic, strikethrough, code)
- Bullet and numbered lists
- Task lists / checklists (- [ ] and - [x] items become interactive checkboxes)
- Tables (HTML and Evernote sources — converted via GFM)
- Code blocks with language detection
- Blockquotes
- Links (inline Markdown links)
- Tags (from Markdown/Obsidian YAML frontmatter or Evernote <tag> elements)
- Creation/update timestamps (Evernote)
Known Limitations
- Images embedded in ZIP-based sources (Notion, Obsidian) are not imported — only text content is converted.
- Notion database (CSV) exports are skipped with a warning.
- Evernote embedded attachments (en-media) are stripped during conversion.
- Obsidian [[wiki-links]] are converted to placeholder links (#) — cross-note linking is not yet supported.
- Very large exports (100+ files) may take a moment to parse in the browser.
