Bear App – Minimal and simple yet powerful and well-design, Note-taking tool.

An excellent option for *Apple Ecosystem* Note-taking app world!

Search should not end!

And I am an enthusiast of tools that improves productivity. Note-taking is an essential tool for me and Bear is very much what all I need in my note-taking.

Bear app is best of simplicity, minimalists, intuitive and secure note-taking experience.

Here are top features of Bear app specific to my needs and use:

1. **Markup Editor**:

• My encounter with Markup editor is very recent and I am really enjoying it so far.
• It’s an engaging experience of writing without breaking your thoughts.
• Markup editor is an example of synergy and love between your *fingers, keyboard and thoughts*.

2. Minimal yet beautifully design interface:

• Aesthetically pleasing writing experience

This is where Bear shines, minimal yet intuitive and engaging writing experience and I am sure anyone who enjoys penning down thoughts will surely appreciate the focus mode and Bear writing experience. It’s pure joy!

• Bear also offers varieties of themes to choose with Bear Pro.

3. #Hashtags In and Folder out:

• Bear do not have folder systems to organise your notes, this can be a good or bad news based on your preferences, however I don’t mind either.
• Tags and nested-tags #bear/nested-tags is working well for me and I m getting used to it.

4. All the sharing options :

*My most needed feature in Note-taking*

• Bear is my choice of app, when I need to share and export on Mobile devices. iPad and iPhone.
• It offers almost all the possible export options – Pro feature, and for my kind of use this has been best of experience of exporting notes in word, PDF, JPG format like meeting notes, email draft etc.

5. Secured Notes

*Lock specific note*

• Some Notes are for our eyes only and Bear knows that !

6. Cross-Note Links:

*excellent for inter-connected note*
