title: "Exporting your notes"
---

Available on desktop. There's no export on iOS/iPad.

1. Open the search palette (the spark button in the bottom-left corner, or **Cmd/Ctrl-P**).
2. Click the export icon, **Export as text files**, in the row along the
   bottom.
3. Pick a folder.

Mimir writes every page as a plain `.md` file into a new, timestamped
folder — journal entries at the top level, every other page inside a
`pages` folder. Every page is included, even empty ones.

Text you masked with tildes (`~like this~`) is written out unmasked. This export
is a private backup, not something meant to leave your device.
