What comes across from Joplin?

Notebooks as folders, and note text and titles. Tags come across only as text at the top if you export as MD - Markdown + Front Matter. Attachments stay behind.

Do I need a HushJot account to import?

No. Open hushjot.app, choose to use it on this device only, then import. No email address, no password.

Are my notes uploaded when I import them?

HushJot reads the files in your browser and encrypts each note before storing it. Without an account nothing is sent to us; with Sync, only the encrypted notes are.
