Owldo Guides — Migration
We believe you should own your data. That's why Owldo is built on standard Markdown. Migrating your existing `.md` files from Obsidian, Bear, or any plain text editor takes seconds.

Because Owldo doesn't use a proprietary rich-text format under the hood, importing is flawless. Your `# Headers`, `**bold text**`, `[links]()`, and `- bullet points` will render exactly as you expect them to.
Have thousands of notes? No problem. Owldo's local-first SQLite engine can ingest thousands of Markdown files in seconds. Just select them all and drag them into the app. We'll handle the parsing and indexing instantly.
