Dr. A:
I migrated to "Obsidian App" and am more than impressed.
Very modifiable.
Check YT videos, esp. by a creator called "Danny Hatcher"

I stopped using CT years ago, but try to export your Topics/Entries to a
common format.
Either as a Group and/or Individual Topics.
Perhaps Export your CT entries to most simple text level.
There are already some plugins that facilitate importation of some
common backups.
But, consider the power of ChatGPT and/or Grok to
(A) Learn / recall "Obsidian App" use of YAML in *.md files (your target
format)
then for whatever backup/export file type you use to exfil your CT
content
(A) ask the AI to take either the xml or other output CT file and
TRANSLATE IT to YAML / *.md
Try this on various export types OR worst case, feed the AI the raw text
of the output file and ask ChatGPT/Grok to transform to yaml/md
you can tag and categorize each note for connectivity.
You may have to re-tag and re-categ your notes. (Or see if the AI can
discern and translate CT's tags as defined in it exports.)
"Obsidian App" is free / open design / LOCAL and not on Amazon Servers.
You can adapt to it. I promise.
