Export Apple Wallet Passes to Markdown

Wallet has no export of any kind. Each pass becomes one Markdown file on your Mac, kept in sync as gates and seats change.

Download for Mac

A boarding pass, as a file.

The pass opens with where and when, then the fields exactly as the card draws them, the back under its own heading, and the barcode's own number.

What comes out

One file per pass, named by its date and what it is, in one folder. A store card with no date is named after itself.

Every kind of pass

Boarding passes, train and bus tickets, event tickets, store cards and coupons. The front matter says which, so a vault can list only the flights.

The fields as the card draws them

Header, primary, secondary and auxiliary fields in order, then the back of the card under its own heading. Nothing is renamed.

The barcode's own number

The message a scanner reads, so a pass that is deleted is still identifiable. A binary barcode says so instead of writing control characters into the file.

Passes in other languages

A pass that keeps its words in a pass.strings file is read in your Mac's language, so EVENT_NAME comes out as the event's name.

Dates, even without one

Older tickets often carry no date at all. Those are filed under the day the pass was signed, and the file says so, so a wallet sorts from last week back to a conference in 2016.

Where it was

A pass with coordinates carries them in the front matter, and the venue's name sits under a Where heading.

How it works

1Connect Wallet
A panel opens in your Passes folder: press Select This Folder. Exporter reads only that folder, with no permission prompt.
2Pick passes
Every pass is ticked. Untick one and its file goes on the next sync. Pills show the flights, the events or the cards.
3It syncs
Press Sync. Each pass becomes one file, and a gate or seat change rewrites that file within a minute.

Questions

Still have questions? Get in touch

Does Wallet have an export of its own?

No. There is no share sheet, no file and no button: a screenshot is the only other way out, and it is not text.

Are my cards and payments read?

No. Exporter reads the passes in your Wallet folder: boarding passes, tickets, store cards. Card numbers and payment history are not on the Mac at all.

What is free?

Your 20 most recent passes export and keep syncing free. Unlocking Wallet is a one-time purchase in Exporter.

Is anything uploaded?

No. Exporter reads your passes and writes the files on your Mac. No account, no server.

Against the alternatives

Wallet is the only Apple app with no export at all, so the alternatives are a screenshot or retyping it.
