• Converts attachments to files ( two directories will be created: image for images and file for other attachments e.g. pdf files )
• Retains correct links to attachments
• Inserts Evernote tags in notes as text entries with customizable formatting
• Shows highlighted Evernote text
• Sets file created and modified date equal to the note attributes

Installation

brew install evernote2md

Manually:

Download the latest release for your OS.

Note for macOS users!

Please, check this wiki page if you have problems running the tool.

How to use

evernote2md (flags) [input] [outputDir]

input can be a file, a directory with exported files, or a glob pattern (like exports/My*.enex, for example).

If outputDir is not specified, ./notes is used.

An option --tagTemplate allows to change the way tags are formatted. See wiki article for more information.

Flag --help shows all available options.

To put exported notes in folders or structure in another custom way I recommend trying mdmv - Move Markdown files tool.

With Docker

docker run -t --rm -v "$PWD":/tmp -w /tmp wormi4ok/evernote2md:latest (flags) [input] [outputDir]

How to export notes from Evernote

Here is a link to an article in Evernote Help Center:

How to back up (export) and restore (import) notes and notebooks

Newer versions of the Evernote App do not allow selecting more than 50 notes at a time. Consider exporting entire Notebook instead.
