How do I export Notion workspaces and import them into Oyma?

Migrating from Notion to Local Markdown

Transitioning your knowledge from Notion’s cloud database into Oyma‘s local CommonMark vault is straightforward thanks to Notion’s built-in Markdown export engine.

Step 1: Export from Notion

1. Open Notion on your desktop or browser.
2. Navigate to Settings & Members in the left sidebar.
3. Under the Workspace section, click Settings.
4. Scroll down to the Export content section and click Export all workspace content.
5. Set the export format to:
   • Export format: Markdown & CSV
   • Include content: Everything
   • Create folders for subpages: Toggle ON
6. Click Export. Notion will compile a .zip archive and email you a download link.

Step 2: Unzip and Clean Folder Names

Once downloaded, double-click the .zip archive to extract it on your Mac:

# Notion appends 32-character hexadecimal IDs to folder and file names
# You can clean these IDs using a quick shell one-liner or Python script:
python3 -c "
import os, re
path = os.path.expanduser('~/Downloads/Notion-Export')
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(path, topdown=False):
    for name in files + dirs:
        new_name = re.sub(r' [a-f0-9]{32}', '', name)
        if new_name != name:
            os.rename(os.path.join(root, name), os.path.join(root, new_name))
"

Step 3: Open the Folder in Oyma

1. Launch Oyma.
2. Select File > Open Vault… (or press ⌘O).
3. Choose your extracted Notion export folder.

Oyma instantly indexes your notes, preserves your nested folder tree, renders your images and tables, and builds a local full-text search index in seconds. You are now free from cloud subscriptions and latency.
