How to Transfer Notes From Evernote to Apple Notes

One of the tiny little new features in the latest OS X El Capitan update is the ability to natively import Evernote files into Notes. If you’ve been thinking about switching from Evernote to Apple’s amazingly robust little Mac app , it’s easy to do now.

First, you need the Mac version of the Evernote app (plus the OS X 10.11.4 update). From there, the process of transferring everything is very simple:

1. Open Evernote and click Edit> Select All.
2. Click File> Export Notes.
3. Enter a name for the file, remember the location of the files, and select the Evernote XML Format.
4. Open Apple Notes.
5. Click File> Import Notes … and select the file you saved from Evernote.

Everything, all your notes will not be in Apple Notes. If you only want specific notebooks, you can right-click the notebook in Evernote, select Export, and then follow steps two through four above.
