## What it is
Yarle is a desktop application and CLI tool that converts Evernote ENEX export files into Markdown, preserving metadata, attachments, links, and images. It supports customizable templates and targets note apps like Obsidian, Logseq, and Tana.

## Use cases
- convert evernote notes to markdown
- migrate evernote to obsidian
- convert enex files to md
- export evernote notebooks for logseq
- preserve evernote metadata in markdown
- batch convert a folder of enex files

## When to choose
- you are leaving Evernote for Obsidian, Logseq, or another Markdown-based note app
- you need metadata like tags, timestamps, and GPS preserved in front matter
- you want a zero-install desktop converter with customizable templates

## When to avoid
- you need to import directly from Evernote's API rather than ENEX exports
- you want a cloud or web-based conversion service
- your notes are in a format other than Evernote ENEX
