# Apple Notes importer for LAS/SBS

> The Apple Notes import feature is broken. It's always been garbage – I just don't think Apple cares about it at all. So I built an import utility.

The Apple Notes import feature is broken. It's always been garbage – I just don't think Apple cares about it at all.

In the current version, you can't import a nested folder of notes using the 'Preserve folder structure on import' feature. It just doesn't work. This breaks the [LAS](https://johnnydecimal.com/las)/[SBS](https://johnnydecimal.com/sbs) import process – all your notes end up in one flat folder.

## Download now includes an import utility

The system downloads now include an import utility. Find it in the `JDex files > Apple Notes` folder.

Double-click it, approve a bunch of warnings and prompts, wait a minute while each of the imported notes is moved into its proper folder, and you're done. More details are in the `README`.

Until Apple breaks something else… 🫡
