You can import data from any format listed here to RemNote by choosing Settings > Account > Import knowledge base (or just Import from the user drop-down in 1.8 or above). Complete instructions on completing the import are provided when you select the appropriate format in the importer; this article supplements those instructions by explaining how RemNote tries to convert data from those applications to work in RemNote, and what might not import the way you expect.

Formats discussed here:

Anki

Anki import is worth trying, but is generally low-fidelity, partly due to limitations of RemNote's current flashcards implementation. While you can import notes from an apkg into RemNote, they may or may not turn into usable flashcards; it's likely you will need to do some manual reformatting. In addition, Anki import currently has the following limitations:

Images can only be imported on local knowledge bases.
Review history is not imported.
Complex note types with many fields and multiple card templates are unlikely to work well; RemNote doesn't presently know how to generate cards to match the template descriptions in Anki, so the fields won't necessarily map well to the front/back of the Rem created by Anki import.

If you can't effectively import content from Anki right now, consider checking back in a few months – big improvements to the Anki importer are on our to-do list.

Markdown

The Markdown importer is usually high-fidelity, but because there are so many dialects of Markdown and applications that use Markdown, won't always work perfectly. If this importer does a particularly bad job on Markdown files generated by a specific commonly-used app, please get in touch with us and let us know – we may be able to easily add a more effective importer specifically for this app.

Each .md file you upload will become a RemNote document.
- You can upload either a single .md file or a zip file containing such files.
- If you upload a zip file, folders within the zip file will become RemNote folders containing the documents inside them.
- Each paragraph or list item within a .md file will become a Rem.
The Markdown dialect used by this importer is the default dialect of MarkedJS, which is similar but not identical to CommonMark.
Blockquote formatting will be lost, since RemNote doesn't currently support blockquotes. (The contents of quoted paragraphs will still import.)
Images will not be imported successfully unless they point to publicly accessible web URLs. (We plan to support other images in the future.)

Dynalist

The Dynalist importer is high-fidelity. The only major caveat with Dynalist imports is that uploaded images cannot be imported (see below for details).

All content, images, links/references, and formatting are imported unchanged, except as noted below.
Dynalist tags you use become RemNote tags stored in a RemNote document called Dynalist Tags. Dynalist tags that begin with @, such as @MyTag, will be named like #@MyTag in RemNote.
References to dates become links to the associated Daily Doc in RemNote.
List items that are crossed out but not formatted as todos in Dynalist become completed todos in RemNote.
Strikethrough formatting is converted to the characters ~~ surrounding the struck-through text (RemNote currently does not support striking through arbitrary text).
Images that are hotlinked to external sites will be imported and referenced by their hotlinked URLs in RemNote. (This means that while the images will appear in your documents, they aren't guaranteed to be available in the future if the site they're hosted on stops working.) Images that have been uploaded directly into Dynalist cannot be imported at all, as Dynalist unfortunately does not provide any way to retrieve such images.

RemNote

RemNote backups and exports should be imported with perfect fidelity, appearing exactly as they did in the original knowledge base (unless you have different custom CSS in the new knowledge base that affects display). If this ever does not happen for you, please get in touch with us.

All documents that were included in the backup or export are imported exactly as they originally were in RemNote.
Your RemNote settings are not included in backups and will remain as they are.

Obsidian

Since Obsidian is paragraph-based rather than outline-based, importing into RemNote can sometimes be an awkward fit, depending on exactly how you use Obsidian. RemNote also doesn't currently support some types of content that Obsidian does, such as tables or blockquotes. Aside from these limitations, importing from Obsidian is generally high-fidelity.

All content, images, links/references, and formatting are imported unchanged, except as noted below. In general, each paragraph or list item becomes one Rem.
RemNote creates flashcards on import if you use RemNote's flashcard syntax in your Obsidian vault (arrows for directions and double-braces for cloze deletions).
Footnotes are placed at the end of the document in a section called Footnotes, and a pin Rem Reference to the appropriate Rem is inserted wherever the footnote is referenced.
Strikethrough formatting will be converted to the characters ~~ surrounding the struck-through text.
Horizontal rules will become empty Rem.
Images are not imported if they're directly present in your knowledge base; images that are hotlinked to web URLs will work. (We plan to support image import in the future.)
The title attribute of links is lost.
Blockquote formatting is lost, since RemNote doesn't currently support blockquotes. (The text of the quote will remain, of course.)
The content of tables will be imported into RemNote, but they won't be displayed as tables because RemNote does not yet support tables. (Table support is planned for the near future.)

Workflowy

Workflowy import is generally high-fidelity. Unfortunately, Workflowy doesn't export images or mirrors; RemNote is therefore unable to import content using these features correctly, since it lacks the relevant information.

All content, links/references, and formatting are imported unchanged, except as noted below.
Workflowy tags you use become RemNote tags stored in a RemNote document called Workflowy Tags. Workflowy tags that begin with @, such as @MyTag, will be named like #@MyTag in RemNote.
References to dates become links to the associated Daily Doc in RemNote.
Items that have been marked completed in Workflowy become completed todos in RemNote. (Items that haven't been completed become ordinary Rem, not unfinished todos.)
Any notes on a Rem become its first child Rem.
Highlights are collapsed to the six colors available in RemNote, picking the most similar available color if necessary.
Text colors are ignored since RemNote does not currently support colored text. All imported text will be black.
Images are ignored. This is a limitation on Workflowy's end -- it simply doesn't include images or any references to them in the file it exports.
Mirrors become duplicate Rem. This is a limitation on Workflowy's end -- it doesn't export any information indicating that this used to be a mirror in Workflowy, so RemNote can't reconnect them.
