About
Bear is a notes app built around writing rather than filing. Notes are Markdown underneath, so they stay portable, but headings, links and checkboxes are styled as you type instead of showing as syntax. Tags do the work of folders, a note can be pinned to the top, and the same library syncs to the iPhone and iPad. It is quick in a way that most note apps are not.
