How to Cancel Craft Docs in 2026 (Export Before It's Too Late)

Updated February 2026 • 6 min read

Craft is the "beautiful" notes app that costs $5/month ($60/year) for Pro features. It looks gorgeous on Apple devices but your documents are stored in a proprietary format — meaning if you leave, exporting is messy. Here's how to cancel without losing your work.

⚠️ The Export Problem

Craft uses a proprietary format — notes aren't plain files you can just copy
Export to Markdown loses some formatting (toggle blocks, callouts, advanced layouts)
Images and attachments must be exported separately
Free tier after canceling is very limited — can't even export in bulk

Craft Pricing

Free: Limited documents, basic features, no AI
Pro: $5/month or $60/year — unlimited docs, AI assistant, advanced export
Business: $10/user/month — team features, admin controls

Step 1: Export Everything (While Pro Is Active)

Open Craft on Mac or iPad
For each space: Select all documents → Share → Export as Markdown
Also export as PDF for a visual backup that preserves formatting
Check that images are included in the export folder
Repeat for every space and subfolder

Step 2: Cancel the Subscription

Craft Pro is an Apple subscription:

iPhone/iPad: Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions → Craft → Cancel
Mac: App Store → Account → Subscriptions → Craft → Cancel
If you subscribed on craft.do directly: Log in → Account → Cancel subscription

Best Craft Alternatives

Apple Notes — Free. Shockingly capable for most use cases. Folders, tags, formatting, sharing. Already on your devices.
Notion — Free for personal. More powerful than Craft for organization. Cross-platform (including Windows/Android).
Obsidian — Free. Local Markdown files you own. Massive plugin ecosystem. The best long-term choice for note ownership.
Bear — $2.99/month (cheaper than Craft). Apple-only, beautiful, simpler. Good if you just want clean note-taking.
Capacities — Free tier available. Object-based note-taking that's genuinely different from the rest.

💡 The $60/Year Question

Craft is a nice app. But $60/year for notes? Apple Notes is free and does 90% of what most people use Craft for. Obsidian is free and your notes are portable Markdown files forever. Unless Craft's specific design features are essential to your workflow, there's no reason to pay.
