Use Cases

• Migrate between note apps. Jimmy's output is compatible with Joplin, Obsidian and more.
• Save your notes in a future-proof, human-readable format.
• Prepare your notes for processing in a LLM.

Demo

Jimmy provides two interfaces:

• The Command Line Interface (CLI) can be used for scripting and provides the full set of features.
• The Terminal User Interface (TUI) can be used to do the conversion interactively. Currently it provides only a feature subset and is still in beta.

Example commands for Linux:

# do the conversion using an interactive TUI
jimmy-linux tui

# convert a single file supported by pandoc
jimmy-linux cli libre_office_document.odt

# convert all files in a folder
jimmy-linux cli path/to/folder

# convert a Google Keep export
jimmy-linux cli takeout-20240401T160516Z-001.zip --format google_keep

This is an example of a successful conversion:
