Features & Supported Capabilities

1. Supported Source Importers

  • Evernote (.enex) Converter: Full parsing of ENEX files, preservation of note metadata (creation date, tags, source URL), and automated extraction of embedded resources/attachments.
  • Notion Workspace Porter: Reconstructs Notion ZIP exports (HTML or Markdown) back into logical folder trees and translates database items.
  • Apple Notes Connector: Parses local SQLite databases or reads exported Apple Notes bundles via native automation scripts to recover full formatting and attachments.
  • Raw HTML & Text Vaults: Sanitizes legacy web exports or raw HTML dumps, stripping nested tags and converting them to clean Markdown.

2. Translation & Hardening Engine

  • Asymmetrical Formatting Preservation: Keeps styles (bold, italics, blocks, lists) clean without creating ugly inline HTML tags.
  • Attachment Relinking: Auto-extracts image and file attachments, stores them in a local assets folder, and updates all note references to use relative paths.
  • Link Translation options: Choose between standard Markdown links `[Title](path.md)`, Wikilinks `[[Title]]`, or keeping original database UUID linkages.
  • YAML Frontmatter Generation: Converts database columns, tags, and custom metadata fields into clean frontmatter at the top of each file.
  • Tag Normalization: Strips invalid characters from tags and ensures consistent nesting schemas.

3. Destination Vault Formats

  • Standard Markdown (Open format): Universal, flat-file structure readable by any basic text editor.
  • Bosun PKM Vault: Strictly complies with Bosun's file-based indexing and search schemas.
  • Obsidian-Ready Layout: Optimizes attachment folders and index files for direct Obsidian vault imports.
  • Harbor Suite integration: Direct export capabilities targeted at Tender and other Harbor tools.

4. Deployment & Runtime Options

  • Interactive Web App: Runs on our hosted VPS (bosunpkm.com) for fast, zero-setup conversions.
  • Command-Line Interface (CLI): Developer-friendly Node.js CLI tool runnable locally on files.
  • Windows Desktop Installer: Full Inno Setup installer that registers the CLI to Windows PATH automatically.
  • Linux AppImage: Fully self-contained package including the Node runtime—runs on any modern distro.
  • macOS Build recipe: Notarized and Gatekeeper-compliant DMG builds for Mac.
  • Self-Hosted Docker: Standard compose file to run the server on your own home lab or private VPS.
