![]() As for notebooks, Bear just uses a different organizational metaphor. Though I have used several markdown editors, and Bear is definitely my favorite. I’ve never used Evernote for what it’s worth. It’s also been updated quickly to take advantage of new hardware features. I have personally never had a sync issue, and I use it on Windows, iPad, iPhone, and Watch. Bear is my absolute favorite text editor. I don’t think I’ve ever written a Windows app review before, but I find the one-star reviews for this app so befuddling that I felt the need to chime in. I hope they can implement note sharing without messing with their formula, and I hope they expand to other platforms so I can share with friends, coworkers, and family, but if it stays just as it is today, Bear will continue to be the foundational piece of my workflow and creative and business processes. The cost is far less than Evernote Premium, and there are not restrictions with using on all of my Microsoft devices. ![]() Tagging, note linking, formatting, and organization are completely intuitive. It does it in a visually beautiful way, with a markup language that really makes the tool fade into subconscious and lets me record thoughts without distraction of too many buttons and gimmicks.

Every suggestion is on the level of “turn it off and then back on again.” I believe they know they have a dog and know that there is nothing that will make it work properly.Īs I listed above, I have several other needs for a replacement note taker. I have been in contact with Shiny Frog many times, and they are absolutely worthless. I won’t bore you with all the different ways I have tried to fix this. But the BIG issue is that it will NOT sync. The lack of notebooks is an issue, but I can get around that. The tag process is not intuitive, but it works fine. Would that it were true.īear (on my Windows, iPhone, and iPad) is pretty. According to the reviews, it looked like Bear could handle most of those. Being able to import web clippings, scans, and forwarded emails are definitely a plus. My needs, IMHO, are fairly simple: fast, clean, cross-platform, powerful search. Based on the reviews, I thought Bear would meet my needs. I have been an Evernote user for about 8 years, but because of changes in pricing and privacy policies, I am in the market for a replacement.
