vivo-note-cli 0.1.0

Safe read-only exporter for vivo Office / Atomic Notes NoteSync.db

vivo-note-cli

vivo-note-cli is a small, dependency-free command line exporter for vivo Office / Atomic Notes (vivo 办公笔记 / 原子笔记) desktop NoteSync.db files.

It is designed for safe local use:

• snapshots NoteSync.db plus -wal / -shm sidecar files before reading;
• opens the copied database with a read-only SQLite URI;
• exports active notes to JSON or Markdown;
• omits raw vivo HTML unless you explicitly pass --include-html;
• never writes to the original vivo database.

[!WARNING] Your notes may contain private content. Do not commit exported JSON/Markdown, database snapshots, or raw private note text to a public repository.

Install

Install from PyPI with uv:

uv tool install vivo-note-cli

If the first PyPI release has not completed yet, install the current GitHub version directly:

uv tool install git+https://github.com/gobylor/vivo-note-cli.git

Upgrade or remove the CLI:

uv tool upgrade vivo-note-cli
uv tool uninstall vivo-note-cli

Quick start

The default database path is:

~/Library/Application Support/pcsuite/database/NoteSync.db

List notebooks:

vivo-note list
vivo-note list --json

Export all active notes as JSON:

vivo-note export --format json --output /tmp/vivo-notes.json

Export one notebook as Markdown:

vivo-note export --notebook 日记 --format markdown --output /tmp/vivo-diary.md

Export notes updated since a date:

vivo-note export --since 2026-04-01 --since-field update --format json

Check whether a database can be read safely without exporting note content:

vivo-note doctor

JSON output

Default JSON records keep these stable fields:

id, guid, notebook, title, contentDigest, created, updated, content_updated,
type, stickTop, content_markdown

content_html is only emitted when --include-html is passed.

中文快速开始

vivo-note-cli 用于只读导出 vivo 办公笔记 / 原子笔记桌面端的 NoteSync.db。默认会先把数据库复制到临时目录，再用 SQLite 只读模式打开，不会写原始数据库。

# 查看笔记文件夹
vivo-note list --json

# 导出「日记」文件夹为 Markdown
vivo-note export --notebook 日记 --format markdown --output /tmp/vivo-diary.md

# 诊断数据库是否可读（不会导出正文）
vivo-note doctor

请不要把 /tmp/vivo-*.json、导出的 Markdown、NoteSync.db 快照或任何私人笔记内容提交到公开仓库。

Scope

Version 0.1 focuses on read-only export. It intentionally does not copy attachments, write to Obsidian, or perform bidirectional sync. See docs/obsidian-recipe.md for an optional import recipe you can adapt outside this package.
