Markdown export

Export isn’t a feature you run — it’s a property of how Consistent Notes saves. Every entry, at the moment it’s saved, is written as a dated Markdown file. Details of the folder layout and file format are in Where your entries live; the short version:

• One .md file per day, named YYYY-MM-DD.md, grouped in per-year folders
• A small header in each file records created/updated times and a word count
• The folder is yours to pick (Settings → Data) and yours to use: backup, sync, git — anything

Backups

Because every entry is already a file in a folder you control, your backup story is whatever your Mac’s is. Time Machine, iCloud Drive (point the notes folder at one), or rsync to a server — all just work, because there’s nothing special to back up.

Moving to another Mac

1. Point Consistent Notes on the new Mac at a folder containing your files (Settings → Data → Change…)
2. Run Rescan to import every dated file
3. That’s it — the entries appear with their original dates

Since the files travel with their created/updated timestamps, the import preserves when things actually happened.
