I just noticed that the theory.io, developers of NoteSuite, have released the NoteSuite Export Tool on the App Store. They say:
“Use this tool to export all your NoteSuite notes into common data formats, including PDF, RTF, RTFD, and Plain Text. The tool will export all the notes in your notebook with a single tap, so you don’t have to export each note one at a time. The tool also organizes your exported notes using the same folder structure as your noteook, and it exports your non-note files in the same folders… this is the only method for getting your exported notes from your iPad.” And it only works for notebooks stored in iCloud.
This is a good thing, because it is the first signs of life out of the company in over a year—including unanswered email questions. But it is also a little ominous, as it suggest that the company is preparing to announce a discontinuance of NoteSuite, and are making the tool available so customers can move data to other apps. They haven’t removed NoteSuite from the App Store, so that’s a good sign.

Thanks Steve.
I keep coming back to Notesuite. I’m not sure quite why, but perhaps because it continues to seem more capable and attractive than some of its rivals, and hits the right level of complexity for me. The export tool seems as if it’s yet to arrive in my “local” app store, but I certainly share your hope that its release is not a signal that NS is about to depart to that great repository of discontinued programmes in the sky.

I’m not seeing this in the U.S. App Store.

I had trouble finding it initially. Strangely, it is iOS software and hence in the iOS store. I had assumed it was Mac software and couldn’t find it in the Mac Store either.

Yes, interesting that. I suspect it’s because a LOT more people have the iOS version only (I acquired it long before I acquired a Mac).
What I find slightly baffling is the decision to restrict the backup to iTunes only. But then there’s a lot that’s baffling about the NoteSuite strategy, including the decision to allow the product to (effectively) die a death. It started with huge goodwill and some very effective marketing—it seems a shame to allow such a great starting point to simply fizzle out.
But hey, maybe—not unlike Soulmen with Ulysses—there’s an amazing new version about to spring out upon the world and amaze us all!
