Why users switch to Craft
“ I switched from Notion to Craft a couple of years ago and have not looked back. At the time, I mainly switched due to Craft’s ability to run offline while I was on a flight but the speed, responsiveness, and general level of polish of the experience kept me hooked.”

In 3 simple steps
Switch From Evernote To Craft
Export Your Content
Use the Evernote desktop app to export your notes or entire notebooks as a .enex file.
Convert .enex file
Craft doesn't support .enex directly, so convert it to Markdown using a tool like Yarle or another 3rd party converter.*
Import to Craft
Upload your converted Markdown files using Craft's import tool, then arrange your notes and continue working seamlessly.
*Or Use a Bridge App (Optional): If another note-taking app you use supports .enex import, you can import your notes there and then export them as Markdown for Craft. Common apps that support .enex import: Apple Notes, Notion, Bear or Joplin
