Currently, people who change from iPhone to Android are looking for an equivalent of Awesome Note. The problem is nobody import Awesome Note data Backup. In fact before **22/05/2017** it was impossible because the data was encrypted, now it's totally possible. Each note is a plist file in binary format. **Since the 22/05/2017, it's more easy to have access to the data with Awesome Note : ** **Step n°1** : Export data to backup file ( for exemple : aNote_13Folders_20170520_00_24_21_579Notes.anb.zip ) **Step n°2** : Uncompress file : ( for exemple aNote_13Folders_20170520_00_24_21_579Notes.anb ) **Step n°3** : Convert all file (*.anote) in folder in XML. This files are .plist ( and not *.anote ) , the command to convert : ``` plutil -convert xml1 some_file.anote ``` It's also possible to reconvert in binary : ``` plutil -convert binary1 some_other_file.anote ``` **Step n°4** : **Task to do** ... import the data ... here a file *.anote : $archiver NSKeyedArchiver $objects $null ... ? **?** ? ? **list of filename** BASIC_BACKGROUND0004 23 ? MarkerFelt-Thin ? **Text ** **Title** .... **file** ... $version 100000 So the goal is to import, the **date**, the **text**, the **title** and the **picture** (file). # Diaro : Current import : [https://diaro.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/420048-how-to-import-data-from-a-backup-file-evernote](https://diaro.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/420048-how-to-import-data-from-a-backup-file-evernote) : How to import data from a backup file / Evernote / DayOne ? # My previous POST on Diaro and Awesome Note : - [https://www.cyber-neurones.org/2016/12/diaro-sous-android/](https://www.cyber-neurones.org/2016/12/diaro-sous-android/) (in French) :Diaro sous Android ([14/12/2016](https://www.cyber-neurones.org/2016/12/diaro-sous-android/)) - [https://www.cyber-neurones.org/2017/05/awesome-note-by-brid-inc-anote-enfin-un-backup-plus-ouvert/](https://www.cyber-neurones.org/2017/05/awesome-note-by-brid-inc-anote-enfin-un-backup-plus-ouvert/) (in French): Awesome Note (by BRID Inc.)
