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.
