Exporter turns Apple Notes, iMessage, Contacts, Reminders and Claude Code sessions into Markdown files on your Mac, and keeps them in sync as things change. Open them in Obsidian, give them to Claude or Cursor through the built-in MCP server, or keep them as a plain text backup. Free for your first 100 notes and 50 conversations. Each app unlocks with a one-time purchase, and Bear and Logseq are free.

Could you build this?
Yes A macOS app can read Apple Notes and iMessage from local SQLite and protobuf stores, convert them to Markdown, and expose an MCP server. Each piece is buildable with AI help, though the undocumented Apple formats take some reverse engineering.
