Any way to copy all notes?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I’m trying to move a host of notes. (I cannot log in to my Android.) How do I export all notes from Simplenote? I have been told:

    > Open Navigation Drawer: Tap the three-line menu icon in the app.

    > Go to Settings: Scroll down and select the “Settings” item.

    > Export Data: Under the “Account” section, tap “Export data.”

    Except on my ‘phone there ain’t no “Export data.” option.

    Is there a simple way of just copying all the notes in one lump? Then I can paste the text into a file …

    Hi. That is correct, Export is not available on the iOS app. But you can do it in the Simplenote web app. Log in to app.simplenote.com in a browser, on your phone or computer. Follow the steps and it will download a notes.zip file. (By the way, Export is in the “Tools” tab of Settings, not “Account”.) The download is normally pretty quick. The file includes a json file containing all your notes, and a data folder containing each note as a text file.
