Convert a Google Takeout zip file containing Google Keep notes to a directory of text files, suitable for import into systems such as Evernote

Use Google Takeout to get a zip file, which will contain your Keep notes

NOTE: Be sure that only Keep files are included in the Google Takeout zip file, not contacts or any other Google data

Usage:

simple usage: python keepToText.py zipFile

full usage: python keepToText.py [-h] [--encoding ENCODING] [--system-encoding] [--format {Evernote,CintaNotes}] zipFile

By default, the text files will be placed in a directory called Text, under the same directory as the zip file. You may import that folder into Evernote.

If you specify --format CintaNotes, a single cintanotes.xml file containing all your notes will be created in the same directory as the zip file. You may import that folder into CintaNotes.
