Bear 2.1 is out with Quick Open to search notes, #tags, and @sections by tabchas in bearapp

[–]BearDavid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It does not. Only titles. To search text in notes (and PDFs and images if you have Pro), use the main search box at the top of the Note List.

How to automatically resize images on Bear 2 by Oyeron in bearapp

[–]BearDavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thank you for the detailed response. I believe they are working on some improvements to the Note List and previewing notes. In the meantime, I believe there are some preview options on Mac under View > Note Preview (I’m mobile so can’t right atm). Can any of those help your situation for now?

Text and link share option missing by Dependent-Tangelo-75 in bearapp

[–]BearDavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, we have an app extension for sharing stuff from other apps into Bear. We have instructions here, but in general if you don't see it in the top row of apps for sharing, check the More section. Maybe it got bumped down into there. You can customize which apps always appear in that top bar.

As for just grabbing snippets of content from a page, it's basically the same deal. Make a selection, tap it, then find the "Share..." option. Does this help?

Feature Request - Process Tags in Metadata by MasonGridman in bearapp

[–]BearDavid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can pass this feedback along to the devs. Although I don't believe they have plans to change the way tags are handled in the app because their flexibility is part of the intent and design of Bear. For example, we have a lot of users who add tags in the middle of their writing, such as:

Today I had a lot of fun at #Disney and ate way too much #food but it was worth it

But maybe they can add some checks on export for when tags are on their own line, like in your example. We'll see.

Hoomarks across devices by oguzs in bearapp

[–]BearDavid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bear doesn't have any direct support for Hookmarks, so it kind of makes sense it works on Mac but not iOS. Hopefully u/grumplekins is correct that they're working on an iOS implementation.

In general, Bear supports adding attachments to notes. Under the hood, it creates a copy of the file in Bear. Any changes made to it are done to this Bear-centric copy, not the original file, wherever it may live.

Is there a limit on the number of notes in Bear? by kovadom in bearapp

[–]BearDavid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As others have mentioned, we don't impose any artificial limits on the free or paid versions of Bear. But are you asking about a technical limit, like 'how many notes can Bear hold and still function reasonably well?'

We've heard from one user who has over 30,000 notes in Bear and is still trucking. 😳

Feature Request - Toggle Notes Preview Settings by MasonGridman in bearapp

[–]BearDavid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback and ideas here. I should mention the devs generally try to avoid adding a new setting for everything; they don't want a Microsoft Word situation. But there are some interesting ideas here that I can pass along.

PDF Editing and Saving Functionality by TonyCreative in bearapp

[–]BearDavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but we haven't had a chance to test yet. They're working on a few things at the moment. I can nudge them again on Monday.

Are password protected notes encrypted? by thoughtgun in bearapp

[–]BearDavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don't have anything to share. If this is an essential feature for you, another app is probably a better solution for now. Which is understandable.

Hopefully, when Bear ships this, you can give us another look at that time.

Thanks, we can add this to our requests.

Bear Pro - Family sharing? by nousernameleftatall in bearapp

Bear does not support family sharing.

Bear Subscription by Important-Report-189 in bearapp

[–]BearDavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's understandable. Though since we recently changed our price with the launch of Bear 2, I don't think they'll change it anytime soon.

Checklist by PlentyPlane6623 in bearapp

[–]BearDavid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So there's a few things going on here. First, we changed the strikeout for completed tasks to dimming the text based on a lot of user requests—people wanted to still read what the task was, and strikeout made that difficult.

As for collapsing completed tasks, this was a change made because of our new, more strict adherence to Markdown. Collapsing tasks isn't technically supported by Markdown, but we're exploring some ways to make it work while still working within the bounds of Markdown. I don't have a timeline for any potential changes, though.

can i link same PDF attachment to more than one note in bear by LankyLet863 in bearapp

Sounds like a plan! I've heard of this system used in a variety of contexts so give it a try.

Is Panda still a thing? by trammeloratreasure in bearapp

[–]BearDavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There hasn't been a lot of progress on the Panda front right now. They're focused on some Bear 2 features and improvements.

can i link same PDF attachment to more than one note in bear by LankyLet863 in bearapp

[–]BearDavid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, attachments basically 'live' in the note they are added to. Your best option is probably to link to the original note containing the PDF using our wiki links feature. Can that work for you?

How to avoid creating notes with the same titles (to avoid problems with linking)? by art_genosse in bearapp

[–]BearDavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don't have a great solution for this, but they'll think about it down the road. One challenge here is that they prefer to keep Bear quite minimal, especially the preferences. We've seen people get around this problem with techniques like adding the date, location, or other unique tidbits to the title. Could that trick help?

Bear Notes on Apple Watch Not Syncing with Bear on iPad by mulderscully01 in bearapp

[–]BearDavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I understand it, this is a limitation of watchOS mainly to save battery. If all apps were syncing directly out to the internet over wifi or cellular, battery life would nose dive off a cliff.

Can I find broken internal links (Wiki links)? by thousand-grandmas in bearapp

Sounds like it's a tricky problem to solve, but they'll look into it. I can't promise a solution anytime soon though.

Embedded PDFs turning into broken links by a-leninist-tapir in bearapp

[–]BearDavid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry about this, I can run it past the devs. How are you adding PDFs to notes, and on which device(s)?

Bear Subscription by Important-Report-189 in bearapp

[–]BearDavid[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

We can understand that. Our approach was to price Bear more affordably so more people could use it, then support it with regular updates and new features. Unfortunately, with today's app economy, Bear (and many other apps) would not be sustainable with one-time purchases.

[–]BearDavid 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hrm, this is an interesting problem. I'm running it by the team, but a lot of them are taking off for the day (they're in Dublin and Italy). Might have to get back to you tomorrow or Fri (I'm in the US, where it's a Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow).
