How to Export Your Helperbird Notes

Why Export Your Notes?

Over time you may have built up a collection of sticky notes, highlighted passages, and extracted text from websites. Exporting your Helperbird Notes creates a file containing all of this saved content. This is useful when you want to back up your research and notes before clearing your Notebook, move your notes to a new device or browser, or keep a copy of your notes outside of Helperbird for reference.

Step 1: Open Helperbird

Click the Helperbird icon in your browser toolbar. It looks like a small owl and is usually in the top-right corner of your browser.

This will open the Helperbird menu.

Step 2: Open the Settings Page

Click the gear icon in the top-left corner of the Helperbird menu. This will open the Settings page.

Step 3: Click Export Next to Helperbird Notes

Scroll down to the Export section on the Settings page. You will see a Helperbird Notes row with an Export button next to it.

Click the Export button.

Step 4: Save the File

Your browser will download a .helperbird file containing all your saved notes, highlights, and extracted text. The file is named with today's date, for example helperbird-March-26-2026.helperbird. Save this file somewhere safe on your computer.

This export includes everything in your Notebook, sticky notes you created on web pages, text you highlighted, and text you extracted from images using OCR.

Tip: You can also export and print individual notes from inside the Notes app. Use this Settings page export when you want to download everything at once as a full backup.
