It’s a light app so it opens quickly without issue. In all my years of using it, it never crashed. The organization and system is also super easy to get into. Just add a hash tag, and then sub-categories are just as simple. > > **Cons**: While the organization system is wonderful because it’s simple, it also lacks complexity if you need more robust options. In my work I needed to build a reference library but that became too complicated to manage in Bear. It also didn’t have share options. > > Coming from Evernote, or trying to figure out Roam Research, Bear is a breath of fresh air. If you want a simple, well-designed, easy to use notes app, I can’t recommend Bear enough. ----- ### "Flawed but genius" — 4.0/5 > **Ben** | *15 June 2023* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Bear text editor is an exceptional tool for anyone who values speed and beauty in their writing software. It's fast and the interface is gorgeous, with a sleek and minimalist design. One of the standout features of Bear is its search and retrieval capabilities. Finding old notes or specific lines of text is fast, even with a large libary. And Markdown support is top notch. > > **Cons**: Bear seems a little prescriptive in its organisational metaphor, without support for nested folders or deep outlines. Personally I'm going to switch away from Bear toward either Craft or Apple Notes. It also lacks drawing support. > > Overall, if you're looking for a fast, beautiful, and feature-rich text editor, Bear is definitely worth checking out. ----- ### "Simple, clean and works." — 5.0/5 > **Ben** | *29 January 2023* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Bear looks great. It's minimalist interface works for keeping the content of your notes front and center. The themes are all classy and work well. Organisation with nested tagging is good. > > **Cons**: They need to up the ability of the editor to include things like tables. > > Overall a great piece of software that does exactly what it's supposed to, reliably, while looking great. ----- ### "Hands down, the best note taking app" — 5.0/5 > **Sugam** | *1 October 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use it whenever I need to jot anything down. The most aesthetically pleasing note app. The markdown function is one of the greatest, and I like utilizing it when taking notes. > > **Cons**: I do not have any complains. It does everything I would wish it would. ----- ### "An app for a more organization of note" — 5.0/5 > **Helia** | *5 May 2022* | Higher Education Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the clean design and the variety of features that are used to edit the notes and the ability to sync across devices, especially for those who also use a smartphone. I couldn't forget to cite the amazing feature that the app offers that allows you to link notes together. > > **Cons**: The more advanced features are only available to pro users. I think there will be an option to not save the notes into cloud storage. > > Bear is easy to use and offers enough features for daily notetaking ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.in/software/1016894/bear?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.in/software/1016894/bear) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
