Take a backup of Notes locally
I use iCloud to backup my notes. All my devices are synced.
How do I take a copy of all the notes? I'd like to keep a backup on my computer.

Thanks.
I found that it is possible to move notes en masse to a Notes folder in an external mail address. From there, the notes appear as a bunch of emails. Then one could make a backup of sorts. I do not know what kind of material will not be preserved. Perhaps marked up document. But regular pdf and jpg files seem to migrate fine.
To me, this is more convenient than exporting to pdf from iCloud one note at a time.

Hello ylh,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you want to make a local copy of notes. I'll gladly explain the steps to do that.
This link will describe the necessary steps to take to make copies of notes from the computer: Archive or make copies of the information you store in iCloud
Thanks and have a great day.
Thanks.
Is there a script to download all notes at the same time?
In a different format than PDF?
ylh,
This is the only way to download and archive notes. The format can only be done in what is available directly through the iCloud website.
Take care.
