Bear Tips: Pin notes to the top to stay on task

Bear Tips: Pin notes to the top to stay on task

Let’s say you sometimes have trouble remembering which notes you were working on in Bear. Or maybe you’re a power user and you have a healthy, growing library of notes, tags, and nested tags. It’s time to introduce you to “Pin to Top.”

Pin to Top allows you to make notes stick to the top of your notes list. They’ll stay there until you unpin them, regardless of which notes you work on. It’s a great way to keep high-priority notes in quick access “above the fold,” so to speak. Plus, if you track tasks in some notes, pinned notes can display your task progress, too.
