The following error message indicates that the input file uses another format version: Exception in thread 'main' java.io.IOException: : last block incomplete in decryption A small script attempts to clean the json. The decrypted output is json with some weird prefix and note separators (probably encoding the length of the file and individual notes). The script reads from standard input and writes to standard output.

There is at least two versions of the backup format. Whenever you make a manual backup from your notes the app prompts a master password to protect and encrypt your backed up notes.

ColorNote doesnвЂ™t support any kind of export (!?) and the backup format is both proprietary and encrypted using an undocumented method.
