Import and export

Your vault is made of files, so moving things in and out is mostly a matter of matching formats.

Import from Anki

Export your Anki deck as .apkg, then choose File → Import → Anki (.apkg)… in Atomus.

Before importing, Atomus shows how each Anki note type maps to atoms. For each field you pick its role, and you choose whether the deck becomes one note or is split into several. A live preview shows the result.

Imported cards become atoms in Markdown notes in your vault. Anki's review history isn't imported, so FSRS starts fresh with each atom.

Import from CSV or TSV

Choose File → Import → CSV / TSV… to turn rows of a spreadsheet into atoms, for example a vocabulary list with a word column and a translation column.

Use an existing Markdown folder

Already have notes in Obsidian or any folder of Markdown? Open it with File → Open folder as vault…. Atomus leaves your files as they are and picks up any atoms already written in them: == pairs, {{cloze}} gaps, multiple choice, lists, and - [ ] ... @YYYY-MM-DD tasks.

Export

There's no export step, because your vault is already in an open format.

• Notes and atoms: copy the vault folder anywhere. Every atom is a line of Markdown.
• Review history: .atomus/reviews.jsonl in the vault, one JSON line per review.
