33## background
34
35in the last few years I've built several tools around Apple Notes: [montaigne.io](https://montaigne.io) (apple notes to website) and various exporters ([alto.index](https://alto.index) and notes exporter app). sublimated is the fastest and most complete — changes sync in seconds, and every version is kept.
