#update Introducing Workspace, a new way to focus! 🧘 Now you can turn any tag into a dedicated workspace. Bear shows only the notes under that tag, and the Sidebar only shows the related tags. One tag, 100% focus. Learn how it fits into your workflow: blog.bear.app/2026/07/bear...

#BearNews We were honored to be invited to Apple Developer Academy in Naples last week! Our co-founders took the stage to share the Shiny Frog journey, talk about what's next for Bear and a (not so) new app. Also: we had A LOT of pizza. Naples made sure of that. 🐻🍕
Republished an old post of mine to my new blog. This app is still the best. Go @bearnotesapp.bsky.social! gaborpinter.com/blog/posts/b...
Bear is the best personal note taking application — here’s why - Gábor Pintér

eric stirpē@stirpicus.bsky.social · 3mo agoWow, I completely missed that @bearnotesapp.bsky.social released the beta of their web app! Bear is my absolute favorite notetaking app going all the way back to their beta in 2016, so finally having a way to use it on a Windows machine is gamechanging for me. bear.app/faq/what-abo...

I’ve been using @bearnotesapp.bsky.social for the last few months and really enjoying it. Great, simple design, native apps on all Apple platforms, and a step up feature-wise compared to Notes. I don’t know why I slept on it for so long.
Kristoffer Johansson@kristofferjohansson.com · 8mo agoCurrently exploring markdown-based alternatives to Apple Notes, the ones I’ve looked at so far: - Obsidian. I really like the storage model with just a folder of files. Don’t like that it’s Electron
