Export & open formats
Your notes live in Boswell on your Mac. When you want them as plain files, Boswell exports each note as standard Markdown (and subtitles) that you save wherever you like — there’s no proprietary format and no sync service to log in to.
Exporting your notes is included on every plan, Free and Pro.
Your files, your folder
Section titled “Your files, your folder”When you export a note, Boswell writes a .md file to the location you pick. That file is yours: copy it, back it up, open it in any editor, or move it at any time — exported notes outlive Boswell.
The recording’s audio stays with the note inside Boswell for playback; export produces the text formats below.
Formats
Section titled “Formats”Each note is available in three formats:
| Format | What it is |
|---|---|
.md | Plain Markdown with YAML frontmatter, summary, action items, and transcript |
.srt | SubRip subtitle file — the transcript with timecodes |
.vtt | WebVTT subtitle file — same content, different container |
.srt and .vtt files are useful for video producers, journalists, and anyone who needs to import a transcript into a video editor, caption tool, or transcription service.
Using your exported files
Section titled “Using your exported files”Because the exports are plain Markdown, they work wherever Markdown does. Open a .md file in any text editor or Markdown app, or import it into a tool like Notion. This works through open file formats, not plugins or official integrations: Boswell writes a file, the other tool reads it.
