Tips & Tricks

Is there a way to import my notes?

Yes. You can now import notes into our desktop app for Windows, Linux, and macOS*. To get started, select File > Import Notes from the app menu, then pick the type of notes you will be importing.

You can also import from our web app! When logged in, click the menu on the top left corner (three horizontal lines), then click on Settings and choose the Tools tab. Finally, click on Import Notes.

The options are:

- Simplenote exports (.json)

- Plain text files, including Markdown files (.txt or .md)

- Evernote export (.enex — only supported in the desktop app)

You can browse the notes you want to import or drag and drop a file into the import window. The app takes care of the rest. 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.

Note: The import tool will import all content in the export file as new notes. It will not merge new changes to existing notes or ignore duplicate notes under your Simplenote account.

How can I sort the notes?

The Simplenote app supports these note sorting options: Modified: Newest, Modified: Oldest, Created: Newest, Created: Oldest, Name: A-Z, and Name: Z-A. To access the sorting options for each app, please refer to the respective steps in the section below. Please note: each note is a separate object. The title is an attribute of the object, so it is possible to create multiple notes with the same title.

Android and iOS

To sort the notes on the Android or iOS app, tap the Navigation drawer, go to Settings, tap the Sort order option, and select one of the sort options.

Electron (Linux and Windows)

Click the View menu and select Sort Type. The available options are Date modified, Date Created, and Alphabetical. Click the “Reversed” option if you want the notes sorted reversely.

Mac

On the Mac app, the note sorting option is at Simplenote > Settings… (or Preferences… on older macOS) > Note sort order.

Web app

On the web app, you can access the note sorting option by clicking the Navigation drawer, going to Settings, selecting the Display tab, and scrolling down to the SORT BY section.
