## What it is
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
