Manual Notes

Export your notes

Save a single note as Markdown, or keep every note mirrored to a folder on disk automatically.

Two ways to get your notes out of Neato Echo: export one when you need it, or have every note written to disk continuously.

Exporting one note

Open the note and use Export in the editor. Two choices:

OptionWhat you get
As MarkdownThe note itself
As Markdown (.md)The transcript

For a meeting note those are different documents — the note is what you and the AI actions made of it, the transcript is what was said.

Keeping every note on disk

Save notes as files mirrors your notes to a folder automatically, as Markdown, organized by folder — so Work > Meeting Notes becomes Work\Meeting Notes.md on disk.

Open Settings, then Preferences, and find Save notes as files:

ControlWhat it does
The toggleTurns the mirroring on
Save location / Change locationWhere the files go
Rebuild all filesRe-writes every note and transcript from scratch

Rebuild all files is the one to reach for after moving the folder, or if the files on disk have drifted from what's in the app.

Formats

Export is Markdown. There's no built-in DOCX or PDF export today — if you need one of those, export the Markdown and convert it, or paste into the application you're producing the document in.

If that's blocking something for you, tell us — knowing what people actually need is how it gets prioritized.

Taking everything with you

Everything Neato Echo keeps is already on your PC, so there's nothing to request from anyone:

  • Save notes as files with Rebuild all files gives you every note and transcript as Markdown in one pass.
  • The notes database itself lives in %APPDATA%\neato-echo. Copy that folder and you have a full backup — see where your files live.
