termynl

Switch from Notion.

Bring your pages, databases and comments into termynl. Connect Notion for a one-way sync you run whenever you want, or upload a Notion export when an admin blocks connections. You see everything before anything is written.

// three steps

Connect or upload, preview, bring in.

Everything happens in Settings → Workspace → Import. Nothing is written until you have seen the preview.

  1. Connect or Upload

    Connect Notion and pick the pages to share, or upload the .zip from Notion's "Export: Markdown & CSV".

  2. Preview

    See every top-level page and where it goes (a project, a team or General docs), the people to match, and anything that stays behind.

  3. Bring in

    Run it. Links become live backlinks. With Connect Notion, press Sync again later to bring in Notion's changes without duplicates.

// two paths

Pick the path that fits.

An honest list of what comes across and what stays behind on each path. Nothing disappears silently: what termynl cannot show is kept as text or named in the preview.

Connect Notion Recommended

A one-way sync from Notion that you run whenever you want. Your edits in termynl are kept when you sync again.

Comes across

  • Pages with their nesting
  • Page icons
  • Mermaid diagrams and equations
  • Databases with real column types
  • Formulas and rollups as their values at the time you sync, with each formula's text kept beside the table
  • Relations between database rows
  • Synced blocks, once, where the original is
  • Files and images, copied into termynl
  • Open comments, posted as you and labelled "From Notion"
  • Table, board, list and timeline views, when their filters fit termynl

Stays behind

  • Resolved comments: Notion does not hand them out
  • Calendar, gallery and chart views, and OR filters: kept as text in the table doc, so nothing disappears
  • Text colors
  • Column layouts, flattened in order
  • Page covers
  • Notion people as termynl people: you match them to members in the preview, or they stay names

Your data, your call

  • termynl reads only the pages you pick in Notion, and the access is read-only.
  • Disconnect any time in Settings → Workspace → Import. Docs already synced stay.
  • termynl never asks Notion for anyone's email.

Upload a Notion export

A one-time bring-in from the .zip Notion makes with "Export: Markdown & CSV". Use it when you cannot connect, for example when an admin blocks connections.

Comes across

  • Pages
  • Database rows and their values
  • Files in the export

Stays behind

  • Views: a linked view becomes a plain table snapshot
  • Comments
  • Synced copies
  • Column types: termynl guesses them from the values
  • Formula text: formula and rollup columns hold their last exported values
  • The table of contents and links to databases
  • Exact dates: they come across as your export wrote them

Pick one path per workspace. The two paths do not merge: a page brought in from an export and the same page synced through Connect Notion become two separate docs.

// coming from somewhere else

Obsidian, and every other tool.

Obsidian vaults

Upload a .zip of your vault (up to 500 MB; a bigger vault goes through termynl Sync from its folder). What comes across:

  • Notes and folders; a folder note becomes the folder's page
  • Links, including links in tables and relative links
  • Images and files
  • Tags and properties
  • Hidden folders are skipped and listed in the preview

Plane, It's a Plan, Linear, Jira

Connect an agent such as Claude Code to termynl's MCP and to your old tool. The termynl skill shows it how to move the work: projects first, then properties, items and docs, links last, and a count at the end of anything that did not map.
