Bear

A very nicely designed user interface. It does exactly what I need it to do.

New user and I absolutely love it! The aesthetic is on point, with multiple options for themes that truly enhance the visual experience. It's a simple and intuitive app that has all the necessary features for note-taking. Personally, I use it for my poetry writing and drafting before transferring it elsewhere. The ability to export to PDF, HTML, TXT, RFT and other formats is super convenient. Additionally, the lock feature and encryption not on outside but in the app provide added security, which initially caught my attention and prompted me to upgrade to the pro version. I firmly believe in supporting companies that have developed and continue to develop apps or services...and their brilliant brains. Great job, guys! You've definitely won me over. Oh, and did I mention I'm learning code and web design? This app will undoubtedly be a valuable resource for that too. Since the upgrade, the cleaner markup has made me even happier. It's a steal of a deal! edit sooo happy about the fonts toooooooo hehe

The cleanest notes app I ever stumbled upon. Every time I launch Bear, I feel the desire to write. So valuable app, crafted with unmatched care.

easy, clean

I am looking for a better .md editor than VS code or Obsidian. I tried to use this but I can't see how to 'view source'. There's a pref checkbox to "hide markdown" but it seems to not do anything? Sometimes the WYSIWYG editor messes up when you paste a link, or you want to put in some extra html (eg for an image tag to control its width or add a style sheet). But seems that's not possible? It's like Slack's updated frustrating rich-text input editor. The point of markdown is that you can edit it cleanly with a scalpel. Maybe it's not for technical people, just treat it as a replacement rich text editor like Word or Apple's own Notes app? Just checked Typora and it has a keyboard shortcut to toggle source mode, would really like that here.

Muy buena aplicación. Simplifica mucho el trabajo y el entorno que ofrece es muy ordenado.

Been using bear for a couple years now. Simple and effective!

The best

Worth the wait! Having been a Beta tester and now happily using the production version - this is one of the most beautiful and carefully crafted writing apps in the apple ecosystem. It's pixel perfect, easy to organise and gets out the way. Now with hidden markdown, tables, ToC, and backlinks. Excellent portability, export and sync. It's a delight to use.
