DayOne2 TextBundle Conversion Utilities

Build Status

This project was created to export and import multiple DayOne2 journals to other note-taking applications that support the TextBundle format such as Ulysses and Bear.

As of 2019 a lot of note-taking applications support the TextBundle format for data exchange. TextBundle is just a thin wrapper around Markdown with support for attachments (e.g. embedded images).

Sadly DayOne2 does not support TextBundle out of the box, this project solves this.

Features

Supported Environments

Node.js 10+ and macOS (ok, because DayOne2 is macOS only ;-)).

Note: Linux or Windows might work, but things like creation dates might be broken.

Installation

This project uses and was tested with Node.js v10.

npm install dayone2-textbundle

How To

1. Export a DayOne2 journal in JSON format

See here

2. Convert JSON to TextBundle

Run the CLI to transform the DayOne2 JSON into a bunch of TextBundle ZIP files (actually called .textpack) like so:

dayone2-textbundle <dayone2-export-json-file> <target-dir>

3. Import

Open the TextBundle files (single or all-at-once) directly in any app listed here

Contribute

Make it pass npm test and npm lint, then send your pull-request ;-)
