I’m loving these series!!! ☺️👍🏻

Are the different coloured events different calendars, or can we finally colour code events in a single calendar?

It’s great that Apple finally incorporated Reminders into Calendar app but still kept Reminders separate. Now they need to do the same thing for Notes app. For any contact, calendar or reminder that I have notes in the note field that note should also reside in the Notes app and whatever change is made to the Notes field it updates and sync with the note in the Notes app. This will remove the duplication of information because my contacts have a note and then when I create a reminder or event, I have to make a note also in those apps, and then the Notes app have a more detail note covering the same thing that the Calendar reminder and Contacts note fields may have. One note to rule them all. I’ll have to send this suggestion over to Apple as a feature request.

Still not useful for business users because of no ability to add zoom or teams or Google meet calls. Exactly who uses FaceTime or Skype for team calls? Somebody over at Apple is deliberately holding calendar back.

Very nice review, I didn’t know I could pinch in the month view. That’s a game changer. Thanks

THIS. This is what I've been wondering! I also have Todoist! Thank you

Intersting video but the music under your voice is unbearable.

This was a great comparison. One thing I was hoping to see in the video was if I wanted to switch back to the Apple Calendar from Fantastical, how would I migrate the Fantastical Calendar data to the Apple Calendar? Maybe you can do another video on that? Thank you, again! 🕊️🫶

Would love to see how the interaction of events is different between both such as with Fantastical if someone sends me a calendar invite to my email I get a fantastical notification to either accept or decline from the notification OR just being able to join any Google meet call with one click on Fantastical

Is it free or subscription based?

Glad you’re making Bear Markdown content. 🙌🏻🥳 It’s really awesome, TH-cam is lacking videos over Bear.

This is literally something I was trying to look into thank you so much for your work

Appreciate this deep dive. Thanks!

I think we were all waiting for Apple to integrate Reminders into Calendars. I jump between Fantastical and TickTick and have settled on TickTick due to compatibility with iOS, Android, Mac & Windows. Currently testing iOS18 on my spare iPhone and iPad and waiting for a more stable version so I can install it on my main iPhone and switch from TickTick to Apple Calendar/Reminders. Thanks for the video.

Cool and informative video. What was your main reason not to use Apple Notes?

Your dock is giving me anxiety man

thanks, I am doing just the same as you, for the same reason, excellent summary! 🙌

Correct me if i’m wrong, but Obsidian is free if you store the folder somewhere else in the cloud, let’s say, Dropbox… I personally use it on iCloud and it syncs in 1-2 seconds across all the devices I use

Great video. Chill and so veteran, you gonna get more subs for sure.

Making it Apple platform only in today's market is very near sighted and a reason I won't even consider it, despite owning a Macbook.

I badly want to use Bear but the one reason I can't is that it is not possible to lock a note with an attachment. Until it can do that I will stick with Apple Notes that let's me lock any note.

Bear is an amazing and underrated notes app, I had the same experience than you, I don’t remember hoy much years I have been paying for Bear Notes app and it was my prime notes app until Notion and Craft began to be “trending” and I decided to jump to them just because FOMO and at the end, I felt enormous complexity for making everything that just made me feel I forgotten the simple task of notetaking. I even took all my notes out of bear to try fitting them into Notion and Craft, but at the end of the day, I had headache for all the unnecessary stuff they had for me. At the end, I came back to Bear after years and I’m really as happy as I used to be with my notes, kept Notion for my databases and stop paying for Craft (really overpriced)

Note that Todoist is going to release weekly calendar inside the app in 2-3 weeks. No need for fantastcsl. 🎉

I bet you didn't try KeyNote NF. I haven't found anything better in 20 years. (Windows only)

Nice video. Keep it up

You can collapse the sidebars with a 2-Finger swipe on the trackpad

Control + 1, 2 or 3 will solve that annoyance you mentioned at the end with hiding the columns. You will also find the options in the View menu starting with "Show Editor Only", Hope that helps :)

Bro, please have your suggestions for app "logseq" . Thanks for sharing about bear app in this video.

Love your channel 👍🏻

Doooonutssss.

Hey man, your routine speaks to me a lot! Spending time to read, take notes. Keeping the routine simple and not cluttering it with a complex morning, evening, pre-neight routine (like you see in other youtube videos) Overall, great stuff. Thank you for this video, hope you do well

Love the keyboard melody.

Wow, another day in the life, sexy! Seriously who watches this shit?

I'm impressed how actual this vlog is. This what a software engineer lives day to day, if working from home at least. Thank you

What were you reading?

Hi. I would like to ask you something: what monitors are on your right and what arm are you using to get them vertically stacked? Thank you

cmon at least farting part was coated ;)

i just found your channel and its great, keep doing it!

Nice video!!

what app were you using at 9:42? great video!

you a .Net developer?

Some tips/features for new Bear users: - Any heading and the content underneath it can be collapsed (and expanded) by pressing ⌘'. The cursor need not be positioned in the heading. It can be anywhere within that section. The expanded/collapsed state persists in other devices which shows the fantastic attention to detail by the Bear team. - Pasting a URL with some text selected in Bear will automatically link that text to that URL. - There are keyboard shortcuts for inserting date and time in different formats. - Possible to see backlinks - both manual and automatic and Table of Contents. - Notes can be tagged by dragging them into a tag in the sidebar. - Using the free Raycast and its free extension for Bear, we can search for notes using the launcher and open, create new notes, even do we web capture by pasting a URL. - OCR in images and PDFs. - Perhaps the most robust tagging implementation. Renaming tags is like magic. - Document scanner. - Has keyboard shortcuts for moving lines up and down beside the usual ones. - Apple Watch complication with voice-to-text transcription. - Notes can be searched using Spotlight. What I don't like about Bear: 1. No button to copy code blocks 2. No shareable web links for notes 3. No daily note with a calendar view

Super-helpful review! Very balanced and credible. Bear wasn’t even on my radar but now, thanks to your review, I’m going to try it out.

Cool feature! Your full review video is super detailed!

Thanks for this overview of Bear. Other features worth mentioning are the ability to pin notes, the ability to add internal links to other notes (useful to create a dashboard), integration with Apple Shortcuts and Applescript. FYI, the View menu gives you the ability to hide the tags column and the Notes list with keyboard shortcuts. CTRL 1 shows only the Editor, CTRL 2 shows the Notes list and the Editor. CTRL 3 shows the Tags, Notes list and the Editor. I'm not connected in any way with Bear but I agree that it's a very nice note-taking app for all the reasons you gave plus the ones mentioned above. And, like you said, the price is reasonable.

Thanks Ben for the detailed review, that was very useful! Since you've used many apps, how would you compare it with Microsoft OneNote?

Thanks Ben! Love the Apple Notes, but see the limited export capabilities without using 3rd party apps. As you use Obisidian as well, what are the advantages of Bear here?
