# Apple-Notes-to-Dropbox-Paper

Quick n' dirty script which backs up (copies) your Apple Notes to Dropbox Paper. Must be run on a Mac with access to your notes.  

 

## How it works

- [This](https://github.com/RhetTbull/macnotesapp) really helpful python lib extracts the notes' HTML using Applescript

- The code in this repo creates a new, datestamped folder in your Dropbox Paper account

- Each note is copied to Dropbox Paper

- Unlock your Apple notes first to include locked ones

 

## Setup & Run

1. `pip install -r requirements.txt`  

1. Create a new [Dropbox app with a generated token](https://dropbox.tech/developers/generate-an-access-token-for-your-own-account)

1. Export the token like: `export paperApiKey="foobar123"`

1. Run `python3 notes-to-dropbox-paper.py`
