Notion to Obsidian

Steps

1. Press “Connect” beside Notion under Cloud on Exporter’s home and sign in with Apple. On Notion’s page in your browser, pick the pages to bring over and allow access.
2. Choose a folder inside your vault, like ~/Documents/Vault/Notion, and press “Use This Folder”. A folder inside a vault is used as it is.
3. Untick what you don’t want on the pick page: pages or databases.
4. Press “Sync Now”. From then on, an edit in Notion reaches the note within minutes.

What you get

Vault/Notion/
  Projects.md
  Projects/
    Plan Q4.md
    Tasks.csv
    Tasks/
      Write the plan.md
    attachments/

Each page is a note named by its title, in the folders Notion shows it in. A database is a folder with a note per row: Obsidian shows the row’s properties, like Status or Due date, as properties you can filter in a base. Links between pages are links between notes, so the graph and backlinks work, and images Notion hosts are copied into attachments/ so they still show when Notion’s links expire.

Pitfalls

• The notes follow Notion: an edit in Obsidian is replaced at the next change in Notion. Write your own notes beside them, or stop syncing once you have moved for good.
• Only the pages you share sync. To add one later, open its ⋯ menu in Notion and add the exporter.dev connection.
• The first 7 days are free; then Exporter Cloud is a subscription, and when it ends the notes stay where they are.

Every field is in the Notion docs.
