I built a tool for this a while back: https://github.com/dogsheep/apple-notes-to-sqlite

I just tried it and it still works:

  uvx apple-notes-to-sqlite /tmp/notes.db
  # in another terminal while that's running
  uvx datasette /tmp/notes.db

I ended up using Exporter from the App Store. I didn't work great. I have an export, but there are a lot of issues with it. I'm finding it is often easier to copy the note and use the Rich Text to Markdown action in Shortcuts, then paste into Obsidian. If I spent more time with Shortcuts there is probably a way to automate this way a bit more.

I think https://github.com/threeplanetssoftware/apple_cloud_notes_pa... might do the trick. This is "user friendly" as long as you are a programmer or work in digital forensics. :D
