The Great Migration: How to Move Your Second Brain to Arka

For over a decade, users stayed with legacy apps like Evernote or Notion because they felt "locked in." Their notes were stuck in proprietary formats, making it impossible to leave.

But as those apps become slower and more expensive, thousands of users are moving to Arka. Because Arka is built by DNote—a company that values data portability—we make it easy to get your data in and out.

Why are people leaving legacy tools?

1. Performance: Loading 1,000+ notes in legacy apps can take forever.
2. Privacy: Users want Zero-Knowledge Encryption (AES-GCM 256), which older apps don't offer.
3. Cost: Paying $10-15/month for a slow notebook no longer makes sense.

The Step-by-Step Migration Process

Step 1: Export to Markdown

Almost every modern productivity tool allows you to export your data as .md (Markdown) or .csv files. Since Arka is Markdown-native, this is the perfect format.

Step 2: The Import

In Arka, simply drag and drop your exported folder. Our engine will automatically:

• Maintain your folder hierarchy.
• Convert your attachments to our secure storage.
• Index your notes for instant searching.

3. What Happens to Your Data?

Once your data is in Arka, it is immediately encrypted.

Important Note: During the migration, Arka never "reads" your files. The encryption happens locally in your browser before the data is stored in the DNote cloud.

4. Reorganizing for the Future

Once you are in Arka, we recommend using the PARA method (Projects, Areas, Resources, Archives) to clean up your legacy notes. You can use our DNote AI to scan your old, messy notes and suggest new tags for them.
