Exporting notes is effortless.
While notes are best-composed within Minimal, they deserve to take on a life of their own beyond the app.
import notes.
Easily import notes, text, and URLs from any app that supports sharing.
To add Minimal's share extension, open the share menu in any app that provides the system share function. In the row of apps, scroll to the end and tap 'More.' Find Minimal, turn it on, and use the handle on the right side to drag Minimal's share tool to the top.
