You can export from MindNode a couple of ways. All via `File > Export To >` Here’s a quick mind map, let’s see what we can do with it. ![CleanShot 2024-07-09 at 09.17.10@2x](https://forum.johnnydecimal.com/uploads/default/original/1X/9961fd6e3577dec176f27dda651702f48b80d331.png) # Markdown The first useful thing in the list is `File > Export To > Markdown`. There are no further options, so `Export...` and let’s see what we have. ```txt # My system ## 10-19 Life admin ### 11 House - 11.01 - 11.02 - 11.03 ### 12 Finance ### 13 Motor - 13.01 - 13.02 ### 14 Health ### 15 Travel ## 20-29 My hobby ### 21 Research ### 22 Promotion - 22.01 - 22.02 ### 23 Sales ## 30-39 My side-hustle ### 31 Build it ### 32 Ship it ``` That’s pretty good, and will import in to Bear (just copy/paste it) _really_ nicely. If you’re on the latest version of Bear, those headers can now be folded using the little triangle to their left. ![CleanShot 2024-07-09 at 09.19.34@2x](https://forum.johnnydecimal.com/uploads/default/original/1X/09c6bc06a8a349f4e978d6dc5350ae3cdaedfaf3.png) # Plain text You can also `File > Export To > Text > Plain Text`. That gives us an indented version of the same. ```txt My system 10-19 Life admin 11 House 11.01 11.02 11.03 12 Finance 13 Motor 13.01 13.02 14 Health 15 Travel 20-29 My hobby 21 Research 22 Promotion 22.01 22.02 23 Sales 30-39 My side-hustle 31 Build it 32 Ship it ``` Also not bad, but Bear won’t recognise that as anything special. You may prefer this? Put it in a code block? ![CleanShot 2024-07-09 at 09.21.34@2x](https://forum.johnnydecimal.com/uploads/default/original/1X/c10435ca622163af4a72a956e31a29c633fd4ba8.png) # Creating file system folders This is where our friend @SwissArmyWrench comes in. Does [johnnybgoode](https://forum.johnnydecimal.com/t/johnnybgoode-v1-1-0-is-released/1457) do this?
