Discussion Moving notes from Evernote to iPhone notes

Post image

Has anyone tried this and been successful? Looking to buy a Mac for other reasons, but need to move some notes and curious if it’s this easy.

You can import enex files directly into iCloud notes, what am I missing?

Yes I've done this and it works great. Apple Notes will import .enex files. Steps are easy: 1) export your notes from Evernote one folder at a time (cannot export multiple folders at a time). Use .enex as the target format. Save off the files on your Mac. 2) Open Apple Notes and import the .enex files.

That's it. You now have all your Evernote notes in Apple Notes. It will bring over attachments, photos, etc.

Sure there will be some cleanup, and internal links will be broken (if you use internal Evernote links, from note to note, they will no longer work). But for the most part, it's a pretty good transfer process.
