Using Ounie

Importing

Bring an existing knowledge base into Ounie in one action. Upload a Notion, Obsidian, Evernote, Roam, or Logseq export — or a folder of Markdown — and every note becomes a source you can ask, grounded and graphed, on day one.

How it works#

Open a brain, go to Sources, and choose Import. Pick the tool you exported from, drop in the file, and Ounie reads the archive, turns each note into a source, and processes them in the background. A live progress bar shows what’s created, ready, skipped, or failed — close it whenever you like, the import keeps running.

What you can import#

  • Obsidian — zip your vault. Notes import verbatim, so your own [[wikilinks]] become the graph (no re-interpretation).
  • Roam & Logseq — your block outlines and links are preserved the same way.
  • Notion— export as Markdown & CSV. Ounie strips the id suffixes from titles and keeps page-to-page links, then builds the wiki for you.
  • Evernote — export a .enex; each note becomes a clean Markdown source.
  • Plain Markdown — any zipped folder of .md / .txt / .html files.

Re-importing is safe#

Import is a snapshot, not a live sync. Importing the same export again won’t create duplicates — entries already brought in are skipped, so re-importing only adds what’s new. Imported notes are ordinary sources afterward: ask them, edit them, or delete them like any other.

Limits#

A single import is bounded to keep things fast and safe. You can always run another import to bring in more.

  • Up to 2,000 notes per archive (the per-import item cap). Larger exports are rejected before anything is created — split them or import in passes.
  • Uploaded archive up to 100 MB; within it, each file up to 5 MB and 200 MB total uncompressed.
  • Sources count toward your plan. Each imported note is one source, so an import stops when a brain hits its source limit (50 on Free) and prompts an upgrade for the rest — your existing imported sources are kept.
  • Text notes only, for now. Embedded images and attachments inside an export are skipped in this version (the note text still imports).
Importing is available on every plan— it’s the fastest way to make a new brain useful. The only thing that grows with your plan is how many sources a brain can hold; see pricing for current limits, and Exporting for the round-trip back out.
