Pete Prodoehl 🍕Bear is working on web access to notes... finally!<a href="https://community.bear.app/t/bear-web-public-beta-you-are-invited/17435" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://community.bear.app/t/bear-web-public-beta-you-are-invited/17435</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bearNotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bearNotes</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bearApp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bearApp</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bearNotesApp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bearNotesApp</a>

Anthony BakerIn honor of <a href="https://social.seattle.wa.us/@mako" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@mako</a>, who uses only Apple Notes and says this every time I bring up <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BearNotesApp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BearNotesApp</a>, or something similar when I bring up <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#obsidian</a> as well. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pkm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pkm</a>

Pete Prodoehl 🍕I took a stab at cleaning up my code for BearExporter, a Python script to export all of your Bear notes to Markdown files you can use with Obsidian, read in the terminal, or whatever.As the old saying goes "it works for me!" but I know it's not exactly great code, but it is available.I'm not great at Python but I'll try to improve it as time allows.➡️ <a href="https://codeberg.org/raster/BearExporter" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://codeberg.org/raster/BearExporter</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BearApp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BearApp</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BearNotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BearNotes</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BearNotesApp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BearNotesApp</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/macOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#macOS</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#python</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/markdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#markdown</a>

Pete Prodoehl 🍕I wrote up a quick post on how to edit a theme for Bear (and then discovered other theme hackers as well!)➡️ <a href="https://rasterweb.net/raster/2025/03/17/editing-a-bear-theme/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://rasterweb.net/raster/2025/03/17/editing-a-bear-theme/</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bearapp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bearapp</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bearnotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bearnotes</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bearnotesapp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bearnotesapp</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/blogpost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#blogpost</a>

I might start leaning into Drafts more for quick capture on my Apple Watch and as a front to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/obsidianmd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#obsidianmd</a> (which I'm likely to start using more). Will definitely check out your extension. Have you also considered dabbling with their AI extensions now that it's a thing? There's one for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BearNotesApp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BearNotesApp</a> that's interesting. Allows you to perform a natural language query against your Bear Notes. Definitely a cool concept.

Anthony Baker<a href="https://social.lol/@amerpie" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@amerpie</a> Just came across this one based on a post from <a href="https://mas.to/@jantzen" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@jantzen</a>. I've not tried to tweak the CSS yet, but the baseline capability is simple and likely what you might be interested in. <a href="https://github.com/marijnbent/obsidian-print" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/marijnbent/obsidian-print</a>Do wish someone made a plugin that gave export format options similar to what Bear Notes App offers. That app is so good about allowing you to easily copy text or export files in various formats VERY simply. So damned handy. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#obsidian</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BearNotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BearNotes</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BearNotesApp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BearNotesApp</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pkm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pkm</a>

Joao Dordio<a href="https://mastodon.social/@dhanish" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@dhanish</a> the short answer is: Yes.The long answer is: most are annual subscriptions so they “hurt" less — or so I try to convince myself.I use: - Fantastical + CardHop from <a href="https://mastodon.social/@flexibits" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@flexibits</a> - <a href="https://masto.pt/tags/BearNotesApp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BearNotesApp</a> - <a href="https://mastodon.social/@halide" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@halide</a> and <a href="https://indieapps.space/@obscura" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@obscura</a> - <a href="https://tapbots.social/@ivory" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@ivory</a> - <a href="https://1password.social/@1password" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@1password</a> - All the streaming services 😭 - Apple One - And of course <a href="https://mastodon.world/@glass" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@glass</a> Some I consider to be essential, others could be replaced but they offer a clear value to me in each of their categories.

Joao DordioI love that my favorite apps also support my favorite color(s)<a href="https://mastodon.world/@glass" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@glass</a> <a href="https://tapbots.social/@ivory" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@ivory</a> <a href="https://masto.pt/tags/BearNotesApp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BearNotesApp</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/@halide" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@halide</a>

Joao DordioLast night I was writing on <a href="https://masto.pt/tags/iOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#iOS</a> Journal app.Everything was fine until the text started to become too long. Keyboard would freeze, device heated up, not a reassuring experience. Which is important when jotting down thoughts.In contrast, when I switched to the <a href="https://masto.pt/tags/BearNotesApp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BearNotesApp</a> the app handled the long text body with absolutely no issues.One would assume that the <a href="https://masto.pt/tags/JournalApp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JournalApp</a> would leverage from performance optimizations, being part of the OS.

Anthony Baker<a href="https://mastodon.social/@nazhamid" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@nazhamid</a> I'm looking to do the same. And nice app set! 😁 Also, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BearNotesApp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BearNotesApp</a> for the win. And Gotham Bold and Book from the inspiration of <a href="https://typo.social/@scottboms" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@scottboms</a>'s website.

SeveringGeckoThe endless quest for the perfect notes app continues. My <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/craftnotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#craftnotes</a> app sub ends soon and giving <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/bearnotesapp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bearnotesapp</a> another shot this week.

Anthony BakerFor those using Bear Notes App, they have some lovely new features with their 2.1 update, including a quick open command to search notes and tags.Also, interestingly, supports importing <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#obsidian</a> files and also markdown files with attachments generally. I use both <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#obsidian</a> and Bear and love both.<a href="https://blog.bear.app/2023/12/bear-2-1-is-out-with-quick-open-to-search-notes-tags-and-sections/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://blog.bear.app/2023/12/bear-2-1-is-out-with-quick-open-to-search-notes-tags-and-sections/</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pkm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pkm</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BearNotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BearNotes</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BearNotesApp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BearNotesApp</a>

Anthony Baker<a href="https://pkm.social/@TfTHacker" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@TfTHacker</a> Absolutely. And while I love <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Obsidian</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BearNotesApp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BearNotesApp</a> is also brilliant on mobile and — though I never use it — was a huge fan of Craft’s mobile experience back when. Oh and don’t under estimate the power of Apple Watch for mobile quick capture. Bear and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DraftsApp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DraftsApp</a> both excel here.
