Readable files
Markdown export is for inspection and reuse.
Exported Markdown gives you files you can open outside Onnoir. That is useful for audits, migration, archival review, and workflows where open text matters.
Markdown export
A notes app with Markdown export and encrypted backups.
Readable export and exact restore solve different problems. Onnoir keeps both visible so long-running private work can leave cleanly and recover deliberately.
How it works
Exact restore
Encrypted backups are for recovery.
A readable Markdown folder is not the same as a full app restore. Encrypted .onbk backups preserve the local library for recovery, including app-specific structure that plain Markdown cannot represent exactly.
Before updates
Verify backups before relying on them.
The backup workflow asks you to create and verify backups before updates. It is a small habit, but it matters when the work is private and local.
Fit
When this is the right tool.
Good fit
- users worried about lock-in
- research notes that need archive copies
- private projects that require a recovery routine
Not the focus
- pure plain-text-only workflows
- hosted publishing as the primary output
- collaborative document approval flows

Questions
