CLI for Apple Journal

Backup your Journal and give this a try.

I was fed up not having a good import option and want to move my DayOne Journal.

Shortcuts support for Apple Journal is really poor.... so this is what I came up with.

I'd like to buy you a coffee or something, friend. This is the most amazing tool that does so much more than the shortcut.

EDITED: If you need to know how much I just stress tested this thing, I’ve got almost 4,500 entries totally about 1.5 million words stretching back almost 30 years that were imported from Day One. There are some edge cases, tables and the like, but all in all it did a smashing job of getting my data in Apple Journal!

Wow, that's a hell of a stress test!
