Switch to Prevon
Moving in is one import, not a weekend.
Your old app has an export button. That is the hardest step. Point Prevon at the folder or zip it produces, and your notes come over — sorted into folders, encrypted on your device, with a plain report of anything it couldn't bring.
Bring your notes
It speaks your old app's language.
Pick what you're coming from and point it at your export. If a file doesn't look like what you said it was, the importer notices and tells you — it checks, it doesn't just trust the label.
How it goes
Three steps. One of them is yours.
01 · Export
Leave your old app the polite way.
Every one of these apps has a built-in export. Use it — that file is what Prevon reads. Your originals stay where they were; the import reads them and does not modify them.
02 · Point
Show Prevon the folder or zip.
One picker, one choice. The importer works through the whole thing in batches — no dragging notes in one at a time, no copy-paste.
03 · Done
Folders come back. Everything locks.
Notes are encrypted on your device and filed into folders that mirror the ones you had. Anything it couldn’t use is named in the report — not silently dropped.
Not ready to cut the cord?
Run it again. It won't make a mess.
Keep writing in your old app while you decide. Run the import again and it updates what changed instead of duplicating everything — you don't get two copies of every note, and re-importing on a new device picks up where the last run left off.
What the report looks like
- ✓ 214 notes imported
- ✓ 12 folders re-created
- ✓ 3 attachments carried over
- ! 2 files skipped — unsupported attachment type
Illustrative summary — the real one is generated by your import run and names every file it skipped and why.
Already on Prevon?
Moving devices is a QR code, not a project.
Device-to-device transfer is designed to move an encrypted vault over your own local Wi-Fi by QR or pairing code, with no cloud relay in the middle. It is switched off in the current private beta, and its pairing-code binding is not finished or audited yet.
The honest part
Imports run on your device, and your originals are left as they were.
The import reads the files you hand it and encrypts them on your device. Exports can be messy — so the report names what it skipped instead of pretending. Prevon is in private beta right now; apply below and bring your notes with you.
