Exporting notes from Evernote to Markdown: mission accomplished!
I'm moving all my notes out of Evernote. And I have a notebook there with all my e-books notes and highlights for the past 7+ years. A total of 276 notes. One note per book.
I've always used this free service my.clippings.io to export my Kindle highlights to Evernote. It also exports to .txt, .pdf and .doc. But, the only way to have separate files (one note per book) is when I use the Evernote option.

I installed Joplin on my computer just to do this conversion.So, I exported the notebook from Evernote as an .enex file. Then imported it into Joplin, and Voilà, perfect! Then I used Joplin to export all the notes into Markdown. Joplin created a folder with all the files in there. ?
My goal with all of this is:
- to have my books note and highlights in a non-proprietary format and not trapped in any application
- to be able to import those notes into Obsidian, so that I can start building my Zettelkasten(!)
Yes, I'm reading about the Zettelkasten method and trying out Obsidian as a digital tool for connecting and developing ideas. I'm still grasping the concepts and wondering how I should organize Obsidian for this purpose.
This was a temporary solution to bulk export my notes from Evernote. From now on I'll export the book notes individually as I finish them, so I'll just use the .txt format for that.

I have been a Evernote user since 2008. I’ve only used it for text notes, even though Evernote supports much more. I’ve never had a need to upgrade because my text notes never came anywhere near the upload limit. In fact the thousands of text notes I currently have is only about 5mb, which is way less than the 60mb a month upload limit.
A month ago Evernote changed their plan so that you could only access it from 2 devices. This was a problem for me because I used a computer at work, at home and my iPhone. It wasn’t worth it to me to pay $34.99 a year to sync text documents. Maybe if I used the other features. I looked for another solution.
Evernote Markdown Editor
Ideally I wanted to keep all my notes in Markdown in Dropbox. There’s a number of app which do this. I settled on nvALT on the Mac and 1Writer on iOS. Next I had to get my notes from Evernote to Dropbox as Markdown. Evernote does not support this. Evernote only supports exporting as HTML or Evernote XML Format (.enex).
Atter searching around I came across an open source project on GitHub called: ever2simple. It was designed for exporting Evernote to SimpleNote. This did most of what I needed, except it named all the files it exported sequentially like: 1.txt, 2.txt, 3.txt, … This wouldn’t work for me because the name of my files means something to me. I needed it to export the files with the title I gave it in Evernote.
Evernote Markdown 2020
So I forked it: https://github.com/dougdiego/ever2simple Now it exports the files and names them the title that was given in Evernote. It also handles files with the same title. Feel free to download this script and use it. Just follow the instructions.
