External imports

[!NOTE] The conversion scripts are not part of the application at the moment, they must be run on a computer.

The JSON import feature only supports JSON files created by the application. Scripts to convert exports from other applications to the format used by Material Notes are available in the external_imports directory. Please read EXTERNAL_IMPORTS.md for more details.

Pre-releases

[!CAUTION] Pre-release versions can be buggy. Some features may not work. You might even loose all your data. That's why they are only meant to be installed manually, after making a backup from the settings.

Pre-release versions of the application are available on GitHub releases. You can filter by pre-releases only by typing prerelease:true in the search box.

When using a pre-release version, please report any issue you encounter in the discussion linked to that pre-release.
