keep-it-markdown VS obsidian-google-mail

GOOGLE KEEP - like your usage of TODOIST, but this is my capture tool. I like Tiago Forte's thoughts on capture tools and PARA, so this isn't a todo-list, just a capture of ideas that may become a project or resource later in obsidian. I've chatted with the dev on keep-it-markdown which logs into google and downloads keep notes as markdown, so I don't have to copy/paste into obsidian even - https://github.com/djsudduth/keep-it-markdown

Instructions on use are in the README.md file here - https://github.com/djsudduth/keep-it-markdown

Used Keep It Markdown software https://github.com/djsudduth/keep-it-markdown [I think that's the right one] to export 625 Google Keep Notes via API and convert them to Markdown files. Then imported into those programs.

This was not easy at all. I could not find a simple guide that didn't require any knowledge of coding. After some serious Googling, I found this method 1. Export your notes from Google Takeout 2. Import your notes into UpNote. 3. Highlight all of your notes and export them to Markdown. Unfortunately, you need to sign up for a premium account to do this. I don't plan on continuing to use UpNote, so I opted for the 0.99 USD/month plan which I've already cancelled. To rescue 672 notes, this was worth it for me. 4. Import the Markdown files into your vault.

There is a project called keep-it-markdown which enables keep notes to be converted to markdown using the keep API. The resultant markdown can be used in obsidian, logseq, Joplin or notion. You can also get markdown notes imported into keep https://github.com/djsudduth/keep-it-markdown

For those of you using the kim.py downloader (https://github.com/djsudduth/keep-it-markdown) and having problems with login being rejected all the time, I found a solution for windows that worked for me:

I just looked more at the OP, I thought it stored the audio as well but it looks like not? I'll look more into Google Keep, the Google Takeout thing might be good enough for me in the short term if I can't find a better bulk export but that's super kludgy. keep-it-markdown is all I've found so far that might be better.

It should be noted that there NO "Google Mail" plugin in the community plugin database (https://obsidian.md/plugins). There is a plugin on Github called "Obsidian Google Mail", which might be the plugin to which you are referring.

Oh okay, I think it’s not in the community plugins yet but you can install it manually or through BRAT. Here’s the GitHub page: https://github.com/thingnotok/obsidian-google-mail
