Your Notes Belong to You. Take Them Out.
Export individual items or whole collections to Notion, Markdown, or PDF — with OCR text, summaries, tags, and source links preserved. SnapStash AI Premium treats portability as a first-class feature, not an afterthought.
Knowledge Lock-In Is the Silent Productivity Tax
Every knowledge tool starts useful and ends as a hostage situation. Notes pile up; the day you outgrow the app is the day you discover how hard it is to leave. The most expensive part of any knowledge product is not its monthly fee — it is the cost of moving everything out when it stops serving you.
SnapStash AI's stance: every saved item has at least three ways out. Export an individual screenshot or PDF to a Notion page, ready to drop into a database row. Export a whole collection to a Markdown bundle that works in Obsidian, Logseq, Bear, or just a folder of plain text. Export to a typeset PDF when the audience is human — for a thesis appendix, a client handover, or an internal report.
Exports preserve what matters: the OCR-extracted text in machine-readable form, the AI-generated summary, the tags, the original source URL when one exists, and the captured-at timestamp. The image bytes themselves travel with the export when relevant. Nothing is left behind to coerce you back into the app.
Portability is the floor of trust, not a feature ceiling. SnapStash AI ships exports so that the day you want to leave is as easy as the day you joined. That is the only honest commitment a long-term knowledge tool can make.

“The human mind operates by association. With one item in its grasp, it snaps instantly to the next that is suggested by the association of thoughts, in accordance with some intricate web of trails carried by the cells of the brain. Selection by association, rather than by indexing, may yet be mechanized.”

How Exports Work
Select Items or a Collection
Pick a single item, a multi-select range, or an entire collection. Filter by tag or date before exporting so the bundle matches the use case exactly.
Choose a Format
Notion (one page per item, structured), Markdown (one .md per item plus an index), or PDF (typeset, one document with cover sheet). Pick what matches the destination.
Get a Bundle You Can Actually Open
Notion exports push directly into your selected workspace. Markdown and PDF download as a zip with all assets. OCR text, summaries, tags, and source URLs are preserved across all three formats.
Who Needs to Move Their Knowledge Out
Researchers Building Notion Research Hubs
Export paper excerpts and methodology screenshots straight into a Notion research database — each row arrives with OCR text, source URL, and your AI-generated summary in the right columns.

Turn an inspiration collection into a typeset PDF for a client presentation — references, color notes, and your captions arranged in a clean handover document.

Export a semester's worth of reading captures as Markdown into Obsidian or Logseq — preserve OCR text and source links so your existing graph view picks them up automatically.

Three at launch: Notion (one page per item, pushed into a workspace you authorize), Markdown (one .md per item plus an index file, packaged as a zip), and PDF (typeset, one or many items combined). All three preserve OCR text, summaries, tags, and source URLs.
Both, when the format supports it. Notion exports embed the screenshot inline in the page. Markdown bundles include the original image files referenced from the .md. PDF exports lay the image and its OCR text on facing sections of the same document.
Single-item exports to Markdown or PDF are available on Free as a portability guarantee. Bulk export, full collection export, and the Notion integration are Premium features — they unlock the workflows where exports become a regular part of how you work.
