Speaking of boring, my entire life runs on Apple Notes. Everything to-dos, from family, kids, work, car, etc. I am just not sure how to migrate all of my 2,000 plus notes on to a new system. Plus with limited mobile data signal, I’m not sure if apps like Obsidian will work.

Also Obsidian has Importer plugin for Apple Notes

Which you need a Mac to run

I'm pretty sure OP with their 2000 notes in Apple Notes has a Mac.

I just moved all of my stuff into Notes.

It’s Good Enough. Other tools have a million cool extra features, but in practice most of those just give me an excuse to screw around with the tool instead of work with the information inside it.

Notes isn’t flashy. Howver, it does all of the things I truly need such an app to do. So fine.

It also has the huge, free feature that I can share notes with my wife and we can edit them together. That came in handy over Christmas with our shared shopping list.

People have reported success using Exporter, which is reasonably priced.

Thanks! Will look into it.

This might have been necessary at some point but if you sync your notes with icloud then they can be exported by logging into privacy.apple.com and clicking "request a copy of your data"

You can also get your icloud drive and photos this way.
