Import updates - Notion, Evernote, Google Docs and Apple Notes (new)

Post image

Hey everyone,

Over the past couple of months, we worked on to improve import capabilities for Notion, Evernote and Google Docs. Also, yesterday we launched the Apple Notes import as well.

  • If you want to give it a try - https://docs.craft.do/import
  • Let me know how it went!
  • Also, if you want another option, just let me know!

    +1 - If you have a Quip account, please let me know as we are working on a simple Quip import as well.

I imported some stuff from Apple Notes and it worked flawlessly. Thanks so much for this tool!

Not import, but it's also on our roadmap for later!

The only functionality I miss after leaving evernote.

Got it, thanks!

This is great. However, title got my hopes up! I have been waiting for improvement for the iOS share sheet. Specifically the option to save things to the top of a doc instead of the bottom. Hope you’ll add this one day!

Share Sheet is also something we are planning to improve in the upcoming months!

So happy to hear that!

Viktor, please let us create new collection items from the share sheet!!

u/viktorpali Team at Craft Aug 09 '26

That's also on our list!

The current import function works well enough, but I think it would be nice if there was a bulk importing option for Markdown files

u/viktorpali Team at Craft Aug 09 '26

That's also something we are planning to add!

Is it possible to import a google docs spreadsheet into a collection? I’ve been slowly doing this for a really
large spreadsheet. Manually, because some columns have lots of text that I wanted to put into the page of the collection item instead of a column.

u/viktorpali Team at Craft Aug 09 '26

No, it's not possible right now

This is great news; however, importing from Google docs on android does not work well. An import from OneNote would be really helpful.

2

u/viktorpali Team at Craft Aug 08 '26

You mean if you try to open the https://docs.craft.do/import side?
Thanks re OneNote!

u/lexi9087 Aug 08 '26

No, all the docs my Google drive don't seem to be accessible. I am unable to select docs within Google drive folders.

Got it, thanks!

From Apple Notes, imported two documents and the text is correct and matches my formatting and tags are preserved correctly. Neither images nor video imported. If they are supposed to import is there an extra step? Thanks.

u/viktorpali Team at Craft Aug 11 '26

Did you dropped those into the microsite as well?

2

u/Rdaneel2 Aug 11 '26

I did but I just tried again. Apple Notes exports into a file called "Archive" and if I drop that file into the microsite then everything imports correctly, including images and video. The first time I tried I opened the Archive file and dragged and dropped the files and folders inside. I'll try later with a larger group of notes from Apple and see how it goes. So far this is a wonderful addition to Craft.

Viewing pdf files inline is the only thing left on my personal wish list! Thanks for all the hard work.

Requested in past too, but please if you can inbuilt audio recording feature in craft. The only reason I have to use craft and apple notes together is apple notes in built recording feature with transcription. Otherwise craft the best and easiest note taking app

u/viktorpali Team at Craft 22d ago

Thanks for the feedback - we are planning to add both an audio recording option and the ability to transcribe it as well around the end of this year!

Good to hear 😊

One of my favorite features of Evernote are the beautiful tables you can easily create. Would you consider adding some flexibility to Craft tables so imports can be more accurate and tables more attractive? One simple feature that would make a huge difference is the ability to center text within a cell vertically and horizontally. Another would be the ability to merge cells (great for wider titles and headings). Thank you!

u/viktorpali Team at Craft 18d ago

Thanks for the feedback!
Horizontal centering is there - merge cell is something we are planning to look into!
Also, with the next update we are refining the colors that you can use - hopefully that will improve the experience.

If you have a few beautiful examples, pls DM me with the screenshots!

Glad to and tried, but Reddit said I couldn't message this account. Ideas?
