How to export notes local system? #135

Thanks, that worked. I've looked at I do have another issue and I'm wondering if you could help me here? Some of my notes have special symbol characters, for example: "Control Panel upgrade / script" and that is causing issues when the note gets exported out:
I think the reason is because you can't actually create a file with special characters in Windows. The other problem is that some of my Keep notes do not have a title. In that case, I think I'll need to check if the note title is empty or not and if yes, then create a file with the current looped index or something? I'm too dumb to figure this out and programming isn't my cup of tea. Would appreciate it if you could help me out here. |

Looks pretty reasonable! I'm going to close this out since you've got a solution. |
I've checked the documentation and it doesn't seem to have a native function for exporting notes to Windows.
I'm not a programmer and barely know Python, but I managed to write something like this (with the help of ChatGPT):
`notes = keep.all()
for note in notes:
# print(note.title)
# print(note.text)
While that worked for most notes, it fails when there's a checkbox found in the notes.
\u2610 is the unicode character for checkbox and I've seen this error in other Google Keep Github projects. It seems I can't find any that can properly export the notes to my PC. I just want to backup my notes on a scheduled basis....
