Can I import thoughts from Notion or Roam?

We imported entire databases for some beta users and found that people are generally not happy with it. The data sets are too noisy. We experimented with different selection mechanisms and found that a simple web clipper, which allows you to send text passages to Napkin, works best.

  1. Install the webclipper.

  2. Open your tool for thought (e.g. Roam, Notion) in Google Chrome

  3. Select text to be imported

  4. Click right => send to Napkin

๐Ÿ’ก Additional note: We do have a Readwise connection. If your previous note app syncs to Readwise, Napkin can sync from there. You can activate the Readwise sync in your account area in the web app.
