You can backup your notes by exporting them from our web app. You can export your data, including notes and tags, from the web, Android, and desktop apps for Windows, Linux and macOS*.

The standard version of the app available in the Mac App Store doesn’t support importing yet. *A quick note, Mac users! To use the importer, make sure you’re using the Electron version of the app, available here. It will not merge new changes to existing notes or ignore duplicate notes under your Simplenote account. Note: The import tool will import all content in the export file as new notes. If you’re importing notes with Markdown formatting and you’d like to keep them that way, check the Enable Markdown on all notes box and they’ll be automatically configured as Markdown notes in Simplenote. You can browse the notes you want to import or drag and drop a file into the import window.
