google-keep-convert

Convert your Google Keep notes from a Google Takeout archive.

Import Google Keep Archive within Joplin

This script:

• creates a new notebook called "Google Keep Import #{Time.now}"
• imports title, body and timestamp (Google keep only has "updated_at" data)
• Converts "list type" notes to Markdown with a list of checked/unchecked items
• ensures that there is a note title by defaulting to the body's first line, truncated

ruby import_keep_notes_into_joplin.rb --input-dir path/to/takeout_json_files --joplin-token $joplin-web-clipper-token$

Convert Google Keep notes to Nextcloud Notes files (markdown)

This script:

• creates a .txt file for each Google Keep note
• uses the note's timestamp to touch each .txt file, so Nexcloud displays them in order
• converts "list type" notes to Markdown with a list of checked/unchecked items
• ensures that there is a note title by defaulting to the body's first line, truncated

ruby create_nextcloud_notes.rb --input-dir path/to/takeout_json_files --output-dir output_dir

Note: Usage of theNexcloud official file sync client is recommended to preserve files timestamps. From my experience, WebDAV does not preserve timestamps.

This is a small project that I made for my personal needs, so the features and tests are incomplete.
