Tolino Notes

Convert Tolino notes into useful formats

Tolino stores your highlights and notes in a notes.txt file on your device. However the format of that file is neither human- nor computer-readable. This project tries to close the gap by parsing the file (somehow) and convert it to a structured file – one per book in your notes.txt.

How to get the file?

• Connect your Tolino to your computer via USB.
• Use a file manager (Finder or Explorer) and open the root directory of the device.
• Look for the notes.txt file.

Install and use

Install using pip / poetry or similar from PyPi.

$ python -m pip install tolino-notes

In a new shell run:

$ tolino-notes --help
