I thought that I had the alternative to Toodledo Notes lined up with Evernote, but they charge you for more than two synced devices, so they're gone.

I like Microsoft OneNote because it's simple, free, and has both a Windows 10 and an iOS app, but I cannot figure out how to get all of my Toodledo Notes (and I have a LOT of them, at last count 272!) into OneNote without manually copying and pasting each one individually. There doesn't seem to be any way to take my weekly Toodledo Notebook section .CSV export and import that directly into OneNote.

Does anyone know of a simple, free notes application that runs in both the Windows 10 and iOS environments, that will accept a CSV import of my existing Toodledo Notes?

If you have a way to get your notes into Evernote, then maybe you can import from Evernote into OneNote.

I have not done this, but OneNote seems to support it. See https://www.onenote.com/import-evernote-to-onenote.

Simplenote also can import Evernote and text files. It's not as complex and doesn't use folders as in Evernote and OneNote but rather tags. It's also free and cross platform.

Copy-paste-copy-paste... even at 15 sec per note it’s just over an hour.

Notion (https://notion.so) should be able to import notes from a CSV file.

In addition, there are many tools that can be used to reformat text in a CSV file to plain text notes. There are online tools, applications you can download on different operating systems and also command line tools on platforms like UNIX/Linux (and presumably available on Mac via Homebrew?).

Otherwise, copy and paste like Ummagumma said.

You can use this tool to import text files to OneNote:

But you need to break down the exported note csv file into multiple files first, which I wrote a small perl script to do.
