I'll never get those five minutes back. Author is too busy dunking on low-T hipsters (no need to call me names) and imagined pin-dicked Apple employees while blathering on about skill issues.

Woah, walled-garden company doesn't have a convenient way for you to exit?

Yeah, was gonna comment on the Notes format myself. It uses SQLite (as most Apple apps do) and individual note data is saved as gzipped binary blobs. Not the most arcane storage scheme out there by a long shot.

There’s ways to automate note exporting with AppleScript, too. The Notes app surfaces notes content in both plain text and HTML forms. Here’s an AppleScript and Automator workflow I found that does exactly that: https://github.com/johansan/AppleNotesExport

Not that export couldn’t be better, but post author clearly didn’t go far in researching any of this. All assumption no problem solving.
