#update Bear 3.0 is here... No, you didn’t miss anything. We just had to bump the version number because of a macOS 27 issue that breaks the UI once a version number climbs past .9 🫠 On the bright side, you can now tell people you use Bear 3 and sound extremely cool. 🤘😎

I wanted to share my appreciation for @bearnotesapp.bsky.social. I've happily paid for it for years and will keep doing so. Its core is barebones: a native Markdown editor with tags and code highlighting. Everything else comes second. That restraint is the whole point. preslav.me/2026/08/12/b... 1/

When a Notes App Is Just a Notes App

My thoughts on why Bear Notes is still worth paying for every year.

#new #BearTips Use Workspace to keep work and life separated in Bear: Right-click on a tag to set as Workspace, and Bear narrows down to just those notes and related tags in your Sidebar. Less noise, more focus. Have you tried it?

#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...
