Where the files land

One folder per app

For example Apple Notes in ~/Documents/notes, Messages in ~/Documents/messages, Contacts in ~/Documents/contacts, and the same for ~/Documents/screen-time, ~/Documents/bear, ~/Documents/logseq and ~/Documents/documents.

Side by side for agents

Keep the export folders in one parent folder and the MCP server serves them all together.

Run records out of sight

Each export folder keeps .exporter/ with the last run and its history. Obsidian never indexes a dot folder.

Only its own files

A sync removes only files it wrote whose note, chat, card, page or document is gone, and leaves your own files alone; Screen Time keeps every day. A full resync (exporter sync --full) also removes only the files Exporter wrote, then writes everything again.

Questions

Still have questions? Get in touch

What is free?
Your first 100 notes and 100 contacts, your 50 most recent conversations, your 10 most recent days of Screen Time and your 10 most recently modified documents. Bear and Logseq are free with no limit. Each other app unlocks with a one-time purchase, priced per country.
Can I pick where each app goes?
Yes. Every app has its own export folder, set on its card in the app: any folder, including one in your Obsidian vault.
Does it only export Markdown?
Messages, Contacts, Screen Time and Logseq are always Markdown. Apple Notes and Bear write Markdown or HTML, one at a time, and Documents can write both in one sync, as you tick them on its card.
