Bear
Beautiful writing app for Apple.
- What is Bear?
- Bear is a Markdown note-taking and writing app for Apple platforms, made by a small studio.
- What does it do?
- Writes notes in Markdown with inline styling, organises them with nested hashtags and note-to-note links, and syncs across Mac, iPhone, and iPad through iCloud. Exports to PDF, DOCX, HTML, and other formats.
- Who is it for?
- Writers, students, and Apple users who want a fast, good-looking place to write notes rather than a team wiki or a personal database.

- Obsidian is more extensible and keeps plain files on disk; Evernote is the larger cross-platform incumbent; Joplin, Standard Notes, and Notesnook are open source with end-to-end encryption.
