Your dock is giving me anxiety man

[@benscyberlife]

there are two types of Mac users, CMD + Spacers and those with an overwhelming dock ;)

[@brodacious1313]

@@benscyberlife Hahaha, well said. I'm definitely a compulsive cmd + space user.
Especially with Raycast? Being able to cmd + space > tab to immediately ask ChatGPT 4o something has been invaluable. Way quicker, and often more useful, than Google.
Great video man

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.

[@benscyberlife]

The app has some limitations which might be a deal breaker for some. For me the fact that its not cross platform (yet). Majority of my note are done in a Windows machine and stuck with Obsidian

@@benscyberlife Yeah it being Apple only I can see being an issue for many too. I don't have any Microsoft or Google products so it being macOS/iOS only isn't an issue for me. I really would love to use it as it is a great app but that note locking issue makes it an instant no-go. Perhaps one day.

Error in Apple Notes: "The note is not locked. Notes that contain video, audio, tags, PDFs, or file attachments, or that use features in a newer version of Notes cannot be locked."

@@muzzi1984 Interesting. You're right, I have only tried it with images and they lock just fine but with a PDF, etc. they don't lock. Very interesting. So all Bear needs to do is support locking notes with images and it will good enough to replace Apple Notes for me! Thanks for pointing this out to me muzzi 🙂

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.
