Workflow: Migrate All CherryTree Notes to Joplin Server – Part 2
Part 2: How I moved the rest of my 41,000 notes from CherryTree to a self-hosted Joplin Server in five batches, caught a silent import bug that dropped 88 pictures, froze the originals, and decided which private notes to keep out.
Workflow: Migrate All CherryTree Notes to Joplin Server – Part 1
Part 1: CherryTree has no tablet app, so I moved 46,000 notes to Joplin with my own sync server at home. Here’s how I planned it, converted everything, proved nothing was lost, and got my tablets syncing, plus the pitfalls that cost me the most time.
Why I Moved My Notes Out of CherryTree
For years I wrote every course note, certification study guide and project log in CherryTree, a free note-taking app for desktop computers. By this year it held about 46,000 pages. Then I bought a tablet to study from, and hit a wall: CherryTree has no app for iPad or Android. My notes were stuck on one computer. So I moved everything to Joplin, a free notes app that works on computers, phones and tablets.
