Hey there!

Bear as described in their web page is a beautiful, flexible writing app for crafting notes and prose

I use Bear app on day to day basis, it completely replaced my notebook. The major reason why I use it is that, it comes handy for all my use cases.

  • I need to prepare a checklist

  • I need to make a TODO list

  • I need to add bullet points on an idea

  • I need to draft a rough document

  • I need to takes notes while in a meeting

  • I need to quickly write and share some markdown content

and I can go on

Putting down the key points I like and use

  • Multi notes with clean navigation

  • If you maintain a TODO list, progress is shown in the left nav bar itself, very helpful

  • Search option - helpful when you have more notes written

  • I can pin notes to the top

  • I can add links, photos, videos

  • I can embed code snippets

  • Download as markdown file in free version and other formats in paid version

  • It auto recognise data like if you add a link, email etc

  • Lots of keyword shortcuts!

One very strong downside I see is, its only available for mac devices. I use android phone and there is no app for it. Apart from this, it petty much solves my use cases

Thanks for your time.
