What is Evernote Backup Tool?
A comprehensive overview of the desktop application that helps you backup and export your Evernote notes securely.
Overview
Evernote Backup Tool is a desktop application designed to help Evernote and Yinxiang (印象笔记) users create complete local backups of their notes. It downloads all your notebooks, notes, and attachments to a local SQLite database and can export them to the standard ENEX format.
Unlike Evernote's built-in export feature which requires manual selection of notes, our tool automates the entire process and ensures you have a complete backup of your entire account.
Key Features
Complete Backup
Download all notebooks, notes, tags, and attachments from your Evernote account to a local database.
ENEX Export
Export notes to standard ENEX format compatible with Evernote, Apple Notes, Notion, and other apps.
Incremental Sync
After the initial backup, only download changed notes for fast and efficient updates.
100% Local
All data stays on your computer. No cloud servers, no data collection, complete privacy.
Multi-Platform
Native support for macOS and Windows. Works with Evernote International and Yinxiang (China).
One-Click Backup
Quick Backup button runs the entire backup process automatically with a single click.
How It Works
Evernote Backup Tool uses Evernote's official API to securely access your notes. The process is simple:
Initialize Database
Connect your Evernote account via OAuth (secure, password-free authorization)
Sync Notes
Download all notebooks, notes, and attachments to your local SQLite database
Export to ENEX
Convert your backed-up notes to ENEX files for import into other applications
What is ENEX Format?
ENEX (Evernote Export) is Evernote's standard export format. It's an XML-based format that preserves:
- Note content with full HTML formatting
- Embedded images and attachments
- Tags and metadata
- Creation and modification dates
- Note location data (if available)
Many note-taking apps can import ENEX files, making it the ideal format for backups and migration.
