The whiplash of people “leaving this app or that” is exhausting. I could see someone leaving for Obsidian or text editors if they were worried about proprietary files but I heard nothing compelling in this review other than it can do things you don’t need it to do like htnl support. Nobody needs to edit or view a note on their watch. You can create a voice memo or reminder and act on it later. This just seems like an excuse for content or a switch made out of boredom. Feature chasing will just lead to app switching in the future, a buyout by a bigger company, or bankruptcy. People get things done based on their discipline not on markdown support. Kennedy, Kubrick, and Keats changed the world with pen and paper. Normally I don’t comment on stuff like this but I did because I respect your content too much not to say anything.
"Nobody needs to edit or view a note on their watch. You can create a voice memo or reminder and act on it later.

Talk about a completely misinformed rant.

I love Apple Notes. Bear Note is great as well. There is one big flaw with Bear Note for me… NOT FREE. I do not want to have to transfer my hundreds of notes to a new platform either. Good video BTW.
@@lisacee3237100% agreed. As soon as I see a subscription I’m out. ALSO for Bear, if I cannot import all my Apple Notes into it and export them out from Bear or whichever to get them back into Apple Notes, then I’m out too. I need the import and export feature.
‼️ Chris - you have lost my trust in your app recommendations. Your preference for sponsorships is not so subtle anymore. It’s a pity as your content is always high quality. ‼️
I switched to Bear 1.5 years ago just for the Apple Watch support. It's amazing for an itinerary when you're too busy to pull out your phone. And the To Do check boxes are perfect.
I use both Bear and Craft. I like Craft for when I need to make something I publish, like a PDF or a DOCX. Whereas, Bear I like for straight note taking. Plus, tagging in Bear is more flexible than just straight folders.
Currently using Notability. I can record classes and it does a bang up job of transcribing and time linking them. Killer feature for me. When I’m done with school I may switch back to Apple Notes. Not thrilled with the UI but it works, gets regular updates and the price is right.
The simplicity of Apple Notes and have years and years of notes is the key. Plus sharing notes with family members. And it's FREE. I have Bear but all the complications make it annoying. Especially trying to increase the type size of the body font, which comes in too small when you export pages as a PDF.
I'm happy to see new content (Great Video) but I thought this would be a deep dive into Bear, instead it seems this was a ploy to advertise a Course bundle/Promo..

Been using Bear Notes for almost a year. By now, so comfortable with Bear, one starts missing some of the ‘special’ which brought me to Bear - maybe better worded as “take for granted”
Worth noting that The Bearded One actually uses Apple Notes AND Bear. He has a video on how he integrates these, and Reminders in his Shortcut rich workflow.
Bear has an excellent web clipper which Apple Notes doesn't have. It is a wonderful program and they provide a useful tool to export your Apple Notes. Exporting out of Bear is also good. I am not sure I care about Mr. Robles comments on its HTML ability and flexible formatting, but Bear does what it does very well for a modest $2.50 a month.
After testing out dozens of notes apps I’ve used Bear for the last 1-2 years straight. It’s amazing for capturing notes quickly Excellent markdown and Shortcuts support is the deciding factor for me. Only thing missing is shared notes though, for that I still use Apple Notes
I have been a bear user since it came out. I use Apple notes as well, but always find myself going back to bear. Mostly, long term stuff, and note I will be constantly editing I will put in bear, I’ll use Apple notes for quick lists, or things I don’t want to forget like a new book, or tv show I found out about.
I love the concept of Bear - my biggest knock on it. The notes are incredibly hard to read. I've been dealing with a partially detached retina for several months - it's a slow healing process. But I downloaded and tried Bear and found the grey color scheme to be very difficult to read. It's a side effect of my eye injury. I know there are different themes / color schemes you can invoke and likely you can even build your own - but the few that I tried didn't seem to improve the readability.
My goal is to create a bi-directionally linked database of my recipes. I was a professional chef for 35 years. I have been using a combination of Apple Notes and Obsidian for the past year. I want to love Obsidian! But I don't enjoy being in the app. I am really resistant to it and I do not know why. I think part of it is I hate using plugins and I feel like I spend more time trying to change the way Obsidian looks versus time spent writing and creating my database. Apple notes is easy to use and fairly powerful now. It is a little too vanilla and my biggest gripes are picture sizing within notes and how poorly it interacts with file imbeds such as excel, apple numbers.
You’re in the right direction but you give up too early. I’m in the position like you before, so annoying why my vault is not look the way i want, why my database is not working the way i want. But after a lot of optimization, i manage to sort it all out. Now it’s perfect, and pretty sure i don’t need to make any major change for years to come. That’s the thing with Obsidian, you use it without plugin is very boring, and with plugin, you have to do the brain work to optimize it the way you want, and that’s took a lot of time and effort. Took me 6 frickin months to perfect my setup from kwowing nothing 😂
Bear has really great bi-directional links and it’s very simple to use. Generally I really like how I can sort my notes in Bear, you should give it a try
Bear has been my favorite notes app... but sadly, I had to divert from it to another due to the fact that it does not have a Web version! I am an Apple user for all personal devices but am a Windows/PC user for my work environment. A notes app being cross platform has become so necessary for my workflow that I've had to start using Upnote (which also has a nice interface and customization... no Web app but at least has a Windows download version that is easy to access even on enterprise devices so I can use it across ALL my devices!). I know Bear says on their support page that a Web version is coming. Bear... I'm waiting... patiently waiting... sigh.
Bear had collapsible headers before Apple Notes and exports to Markdown, text, Word, html, RTF, PDF and more. Plus you and back up the database to a local drive if you want with a little Siri Shortcut work on a regular basis.
Is there a lifetime subscription to Bear Notes? Also, does it have the stack feature that Evernote has? To group different notebooks together in one place? I may need multiple stacks lol. Also, is it possible to transfer the 1000s of notes I have on Evernote to Bear notes? Thanks and great video!
Haven’t looked at Bear for a long while. In a way it strikes me as something of a Craft lite. i don’t say that as a put down but rather as a strength. Craft has so much you can do, but can almost be overwhelming at times. But Bear stays with the basics more. Both aim for beauty. Thanks for the nudge to look at again.
I prefer Bear over Apple Notes and have for over two years, since I started using the subscription Pro version. The only Apple Notes aspect I really miss is the Smart Folder function. People say Tags are great, and they are; but Smart Folders have a unique ability that Tags cannot match, the ability to use multiple Tags, dates and more conditions to create a grouping to notes that are easy to tweak without having to edit the associated underlying Tags of the individual notes therein. It’s the sole feature I would like Bear to implement. Bear’s feature set and export abilities as well as the Safari extension are amazing, all of which were why Bear was the App Ioved to from Evernote, though I keep wanting to like Apple Notes. Another thing I find Bear is better at, is consistent note synching between my Mac, iCloud and my iPhone; Apple Notes has a continuing problem with that. Just thought to let readers now, in my experience.
I used to use Bear. I use UpNote now which is kinda similar to Bear but cross platform. I agree with the design perspective because I don’t want to use apps that has an ugly UI and is not minimal. Bear is really great for typwritten notes. Now that they include Apple Pencil support and OCR, it is really a great Evernote competitor. The price increase though was the reason I moved. It used to be like a dollar and fifty per month. Not it’s really steep
Die App ist super. Es gibt jedoch einen großen Nachteil: Man kann an den Notizen nicht mit anderen Personen zusammenarbeiten. Das ist bei Apple Notizen wirklich super und fehlt mir in dieser App komplett. Der Preis ist gerechtfertigt. Dafür bekommt man eine sehr schön gestaltete App.

I think both @Dailytekk and @beardfm missed the most important difference of all: Searchability! Unlike other apps or file viewers, Apple Notes does not provide immediate search functionality for PDF attachments. You cannot search for text within a PDF attachment without first opening the PDF file.
Bear is terrific, but…it will not display all your notes on the Apple Watch, just the most recent ten or dozen or so. But Bear’s website capture is unparalleled.
I have a tech channel. So I understand the background of this. Free or budget things don’t have the most features. Or are rare and most things are freemium, so at that point might as well find the best paid class leader. Also, the audience is much larger for the paid or more expensive item. I’ve literally done almost identical, reviews for a $400 item and $100 item with the only difference being there are less features for the more budget items, and the views are nonexistent. And when you put the same amount of time in a video you’re going to want to do “sure things.” And that’s going to be whatever is paid or premium. It’s already soul crushing thank you have a good idea, creating outline to shooting the B roll and recording. Taking several hours or days to record it. do the thumbnail, title, uploaded, and then you get nothing. That’s not including the money spent for the item or the devices you used to create the video. Yes, we like creating content, but we also have to pay for it. And we literally see the data of what the audience likes. And it’s the paid applications or more expensive items. Almost every time.

I personally use Apple notes because it just works and i rely on it heavily day to day. But recently Apple notes became kinda laggy and glitchy after ios18. Anyone else facing this issue? I hope apple fixes it because many people rely on apple notes.
Doesn't really do handwritten notes very well. Sure it's got scribble, but handwritten notes as good as Apple Note, nope. And that's a big deal breaker for me. I used to use Bear like six years ago, but its method for organizing notes was stupid so I bailed.
@@Dailytekk It doesn't look like there is a direct way to do it from the app. I did some digging and you have to use automator to dump the Apple Notes content into a folder and then import back into Bear. Does that sound correct?
Bear is great. I use it alongside Apple Notes because I often find it faster to write in Markdown. Plus it's great for when I need to resize images within text or export into different formats. While Apple Notes is my "home base," I use Bear often and then include the links to Bear notes within Apple Notes. I've also found Apple Notes to get sluggish when working with really long notes; those long notes do better in Bear.

When you need markdown as a feature of a notes app, you know you’re WAY outside of the mainstream

You sold me to stay with my tried and true native Apple Notes. Thank you!
Also Bear allows you export notes as Backup and other formats. It doesn’t lock you with a specific format such Apple Notes and Evernote.

Can Bear use the new AI features in Apple notes?

@@Dailytekk It doesn't look like there is a direct way to do it from the app. I did some digging and you have to use automator to dump the Apple Notes content into a folder and then import back into Bear. Does that sound correct?
Bear is useless for me, I’ll keep on Apple notes
I just switched back to Evernote from Apple notes.
Evernote seems to be making a comeback lately
Yeah but I saw custom tags that basically works as folders so I'm switching.
Bear is great. I use it alongside Apple Notes because I often find it faster to write in Markdown. Plus it's great for when I need to resize images within text or export into different formats. While Apple Notes is my "home base," I use Bear often and then include the links to Bear notes within Apple Notes. I've also found Apple Notes to get sluggish when working with really long notes; those long notes do better in Bear.
Hybrid system!
@@Dailytekk Yup, with linking it's the best of both worlds.
I am using NotePlan
I prefer something like Evernote that can work across Windows as well and not just the Apple ecosystem.
Good point to bring up
Anyone experiencing an overheating on ipad using apple note or freeform?
I really like Goodnotes
Yes it’s great especially for handwritten
