Importing Multiple HTML files into Apple Notes

I have few thousand notes in Notion, but I would like to move them to Apple Notes. Notion allows for exporting the Notes as HTML. When I import them using an iPad, I can do it only one by one. Plus, the HTML file gets attached to a Note. Furthermore, Apple notes app does not index the content of the HTML attachment file like it does for PDFs and other text files.


I would like to know what the behavior is on a macOS. If I select multiple HTML files and import them to Apple Notes, do they all get attached to a single Note? Do they create a like for like Notes as a true Import should work? Any answer is appreciated.

MacBook Air (2020 or later)

Imported HTML files are placed in their own Note category name Imported Notes folder. From there, you can move them to other Notes. There is a Notes User Guide for macOS that discusses this in its Import and export notes on Mac. Your imported HTML files may not appear as they would in a web browser, your mileage may vary.


Do not expect Apple Notes to mirror every functionality in third-party commercial Notes applications.
