01
Do not move notes one by one
Use one command to download and one to format, giving a large WizNote library a practical default path into Obsidian.
Product overview
Lossless WizNote to Obsidian Migration Tool · Open Source
Shadow Shift
v1.2.2 Released
Move to Obsidian and bring years of notes with you safely
If WizNote holds your notes, images, attachments, and internal links, Shadow Shift downloads and organizes them into a structure Obsidian can keep using while preserving the original material.
01 / The outcome
How it helps
02
A migration you can follow
The tool checks, fixes, converts links, organizes images, and creates a report so you can see what changed.
03
The original stays untouched
The download directory remains read-only and the organized result goes elsewhere, so you can inspect it before opening it in Obsidian.
04
Organize offline after download
The formatter runs locally without sending your notes to a third party; only the WizNote download step needs a network connection.
02 / Use cases
Use Cases
01
When you want to leave WizNote
Move years of accumulated knowledge into Obsidian first, then organize it at your own pace instead of starting over.
02
When links and images cannot disappear
Keep notes, images, attachments, and internal links together, then use the report to check the result.
03
When you do not want a command line
The open-source CLI suits hands-on users; if you need a graphical path, explore the companion desktop application.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers regarding features, compatibility, and privacy
Why choose Shadow Shift over WizNote built-in export?
Default WizNote exports break internal cross-links and corrupt image attachments. Shadow Shift parses note databases, reconstructs WikiLinks bidirectional links, recovers thousands of embedded assets, and structures clean Markdown ready for Obsidian.
Can the migration process damage or alter my existing WizNote data?
Zero risk. Shadow Shift operates in strict read-only mode against your local WizNote databases and cache files. All converted Markdown and assets are output to an independent directory without touching source data.
Does Shadow Shift require Python or complex environment setups?
No complex setup required. Shadow Shift delivers cross-platform binaries for macOS, Windows, and Linux out of the box, capable of migrating tens of thousands of notes smoothly.
