Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question? Check here first. If you don't find what you're looking for, feel free to open an issue on GitHub.
Is NotionSafe free?
Yes! NotionSafe is completely free and open-source under the MIT license. You can use it for personal or business purposes.
Does it store my password?
No. NotionSafe uses Notion API Tokens (Internal Integration Tokens), not your password. These tokens are stored securely in your system's native keyring, ensuring high-level security.
Can I backup to an external drive?
Absolutely. During the Configuration Wizard, you can choose any local or external path for your backups.
What file formats are used?
NotionSafe exports your pages as Markdown (.md) files and your databases as CSV (.csv) files. This ensures your data remains readable and portable, regardless of whether you use Notion in the future.
Why do some pages have missing content?
Ensure that you have "shared" those specific pages with your NotionSafe integration. In Notion, go to the page, click the ... menu, then Connect to, and select your integration.
Does it work on macOS?
Currently, NotionSafe is officially supported and tested for Windows and Linux. A macOS version is planned for a future release.
How do I uninstall?
On Windows, simply delete the .exe file. On Linux, use your package manager (e.g., dnf remove notionsafe or yay -R notionsafe). Don't forget to remove the ~/.notionsafe configuration folder if you want to perform a complete cleanup.
