Obsidian lets you migrate notes from Tomboy and Gnote using the official [[Importer|Importer plugin]]. Importer reads the apps' `.note` files directly and converts their XML content into Markdown. ## Locate your note files Tomboy and Gnote normally store notes in these folders: - **macOS:** `~/Library/Application Support/Tomboy` - **Windows:** `%APPDATA%\Tomboy` - **Linux:** `~/.local/share/tomboy` or `~/.local/share/gnote` The exact location may differ if you moved the data folder or use a different version of the app. ## Import your Tomboy or Gnote notes 1.
