#.blogit #macos #service #text #textediting | I know I just mentioned [TextBuddy](https://textbuddy.app/) in the last Web Excursions, but there's already an update worth talking about.

Exporter for Notes.app - Export or Backup Notes from Apple's OSX Notes app to Plain Text .txt

#.blogit #apple #notes #plaintext #text | There's been a lot of interest in the latest version of the Notes app from Apple.

This little app bridges Notes with plain text, offering a little peace of mind for forward-thinking plain text lovers.
