How to Transfer Notes from Android to iPhone in 2026

Moving notes from Android to iPhone: export from your Android app, then import to iPhone. Steps vary by app. Google Keep: exports via Google Takeout. Samsung Notes: exports as PDF or text. Any Android Markdown app: copy files to iCloud Drive.

From Google Keep (Android) to iPhone

Google Takeout (takeout.google.com) > select Google Keep > export. Download ZIP with HTML files for each note. On iPhone: Notes does not import these directly. Options: manually copy content, use a conversion script, or switch to an app with native Google import (Notion).

From Samsung Notes to iPhone

Samsung Notes exports as PDF or Word. Export via Share > PDF. Transfer to iPhone via email, Google Drive, or USB. Open in Files app or share to Apple Notes (limited formatting).

From Evernote (Android) to iPhone

Evernote account syncs to iOS automatically. Install Evernote on iPhone, log in with the same account. Notes appear immediately.

From Any Markdown App

Copy .md files to iCloud Drive via a Mac or via the Files app transfer. Open in Obsidian on iPhone (local vault in iCloud Drive) or import to Bear.

Setting Up Nemos Fresh on iPhone

Nemos does not import from Android apps. Use Nemos fresh from the App Store. Capture new content via iPhone share sheet and voice. Android exports that matter can be saved to Nemos as PDFs via the share sheet for searchability.

Migrating Your Note History

Notes are harder to migrate than contacts or photos. Format differences, nested structures, and attachment handling mean most note migration tools only transfer text — losing formatting, embedded images, and organizational structure.

Practical strategy: migrate active notes first, archive the rest. Export from your Android app (Google Keep, Samsung Notes, or other) as text files. Import key documents into your chosen iPhone notes tool. For everything else: screenshot or export to PDF, then capture into Nemos via the Files app Share Sheet.

Nemos provides the searchability you need for archived material. An old note doesn't need to be in your active notes app — it just needs to be searchable when you need it. Nemos handles the archive layer while a cleaner iOS notes app handles active work.
