A Windows console application that exports OneNote notebooks to Markdown (and Joplin raw directory) formats, preserving section hierarchies, attachments, and metadata. It is primarily used to migrate OneNote content to Markdown-based knowledge management tools like Obsidian or Joplin, or to back up notebooks in an open format.

Use cases

• migrate onenote notebooks to obsidian
• export onenote to markdown
• convert onenote notes for joplin import
• backup onenote notebooks in open format
• convert onenote pages to markdown files with front matter
• move notes from onenote to a markdown-based knowledge base

When to choose

• you need to leave OneNote for Obsidian, Joplin, or another Markdown-based app
• you want an interoperable backup of OneNote content
• you need control over link handling, front matter, and folder hierarchy in the export

When to avoid

• you use OneNote for Windows from the Microsoft Store (not supported)
• you are not on Windows or lack Word 2013+
• you need a GUI tool rather than a console application
