Import & export

Takt can import Markdown and plain text files, and export notes as Markdown, Word, PDF, or a Markdown ZIP.

Importing Markdown & text

From Settings → Data & integrations you can import:

• Markdown vaults / folders — pick a folder root and Takt imports every .md / .txt file inside it. Takt, Obsidian, and Apple-style Markdown structures are supported. Relative attachment links (including an Attachments/ folder) are matched and stored.
• A previous Takt export (.zip) — re-imports the Markdown notes inside.

Note files are .md and .txt. When YAML frontmatter is present, Takt parses tags, created, modified, is_task, is_done, deadline, reminder, and tag_reminders.

Exporting a single note

From any note's menu you can copy the note as formatted text or as plain Markdown, or export it as a Markdown (.md), Word (.docx), or PDF file.

PDF export hands the note to your browser's print engine, so choose Save as PDF as the destination in the print dialog that opens. The result is a normal text PDF — you can select, search and copy the text, and a long note is a few hundred kilobytes rather than tens of megabytes.

Exporting the library

From the settings page, run a full export. Takt produces a single ZIP containing:

• One Markdown file per note
• Optional YAML frontmatter with metadata (created, modified, tags, deadline, reminder, task state)
• An Attachments/ folder with referenced files and rendered drawings when attachment export is enabled

What's in the frontmatter

Batch download

From any list view, select notes and use the batch download dialog to save them as a single ZIP — as Markdown, Word, or PDF files.
