This project was created to export and import multiple DayOne2 journals to other note-taking applications that support the TextBundle format such as Ulysses and Bear.

As of 2019 a lot of note-taking applications support the TextBundle format for data exchange. TextBundle is just a thin wrapper around Markdown with support for attachments (e.g. embedded images).

Sadly DayOne2 does not support TextBundle out of the box, this project solves this.

• Reads DayOne2 journal in JSON format
• Converts into TextBundle .textpack ZIP files

Node.js 10+ and macOS (ok, because DayOne2 is macOS only ;-)).

Note: Linux or Windows might work, but things like creation dates might be broken.

This project uses and was tested with Node.js v10.

npm install dayone2-textbundle

See here

Run the CLI to transform the DayOne2 JSON into a bunch of TextBundle ZIP files (actually called .textpack) like so:

dayone2-textbundle <dayone2-export-json-file> <target-dir>

Open the TextBundle files (single or all-at-once) directly in any app listed here

Make it pass npm test and npm lint, then send your pull-request ;-)
