iOS Notes to HTML is a purpose-built tool designed for digital forensics and eDiscovery professionals working with exported iOS Notes data. Given a ModeOne-style ios_notes.csv and optional attachment ZIPs, the tool transforms structured note records into clean, printable HTML files—perfect for review, archiving, or production.
Each note is rendered with key metadata (title, creation date, lock status, folder path, etc.), full note text, and optionally embedded or linked attachments. You can also zip each note’s HTML alongside its extracted files for streamlined packaging.
Key Features
- CSV to HTML Conversion – Turns iOS Notes exports (ios_notes.csv) into clean, formatted HTML files.
- Attachment Handling – Automatically extracts ZIPs and links or embeds supported image/gif files.
- Batch Processing – Processes all notes in one run and updates the original CSV with new export paths.
- Zipped Note Packages – Optionally bundles each HTML file with its attachments into a ZIP for sharing or archiving.
- Image Embedding (Optional) – Includes in-line display of image/gif attachments in the HTML view.
- Clean Folder Output – Creates a dedicated Notes_HTML folder for all generated output.
- Updated CSV Output – Writes ios_notes_updated.csv with export paths for import back into review tools.
