hah - nice segue to a feature request! You can access notes via IMAP, so that's an easy way to get the whole lot raw.

As for a more general download - what would you be looking for? A zip file containing all the notes?

Thanks! I was looking for an export button for them earlier today so when I saw you comment I couldn't help myself.

A zip file with all notes in it would be fantastic. I just want to feel like my data is safe from Apple having a bug that wipes it. Read a lot of Catalina horror stories.

IMAP looks promising and might be all I need. Neither Spark or Apple Mail seem to let me export mail as txt but presumably there's a mail client out there that does in which case problem solved. Thank you for point that feature out, should throw it up on:

It's not the ideal solution and certainly not as easy as clicking a button but, for a quick 'n dirty solution, you might look into using "offlineimap" and configuring it to sync only your notes folder instead of all of them.
