Migration Matrix
Migrations
Flagship app-to-app move guides that FlowDesk has actually performed. Each guide documents a specific source-to-target path (e.g. Evernote to Notion, Notion to Obsidian) with real step counts, screenshots, timing, a dated known-issues list, and an explicit 'what didn't transfer' section. Serves readers who have already decided or are one step from deciding and need the procedure itself, including checkpoints and 'if this happens, do this' branches. Does not include app-vs-app judgment without a move attached (that belongs in Comparisons) or standalone feature description (that belongs in Profiles). Every guide links out to the relevant Tool Profiles and, where useful, an App Comparison, and hands off to a Setup guide once the move is complete.
