Export

Export your notebooks and notes as CSV or TXT files. This is useful for backups, moving data to another app, or sharing information with someone who doesn't use Neatbase.

Export Options

To export, click the three-dot menu in the toolbar and choose Export. The menu is divided into two sections:

  • Notebook — Export all notes in the current notebook.
  • Note — Export only the currently selected note (available when a note is selected).

Each section offers two formats: CSV and TXT.

The Export submenu in the three-dot menu

CSV Format

CSV (comma-separated values) exports your data in a format that spreadsheet apps like Excel, Google Sheets, and Numbers can open.

  • Field names become column headers.
  • Each note becomes a row.
  • All field values are included as text.

When exporting a single note, the file contains one header row and one data row.

A save dialog lets you choose where to save the file. The default filename is based on your notebook or note title.

CSV is the best choice when you want to work with your data in a spreadsheet or import it into another tool.

TXT Format

TXT exports your data as a readable, plain text file.

Each note is formatted with its title, field names and values, and timestamps (created and modified dates). When exporting a full notebook, notes are separated by sections with the notebook name as a header.

TXT is a good choice when you want a simple, human-readable copy of your data.

Platform Availability

Export is currently available on macOS only. It uses the standard Mac save dialog to let you choose the file location.
