Bear\u2019s iOS app extension is a great<\/em> way to add just about anything from any app into Bear. It can accept links, text, photos, files, you name it (anything less than 250MB in size).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To use Bear\u2019s app extension, simply tap the share menu in an app, then tap Bear in the horizontal bar of apps (you may need to tap More to find it).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once Bear\u2019s extension opens, you can add content to it and choose to create a new note or add it to an existing note. If you share a link from a browser like Safari or Firefox, use the options along the top of the extension to choose whether to add it as a raw link, a Markdown titled link, or the whole page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capture web pages on the Mac<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We make Bear extensions for all the big Mac browsers: Safari, Firefox, Opera, and Chrome<\/a>. Once installed, click the Bear extension to copy the contents of any webpage into Bear as a note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you select text and photos on the page, the extension will clip only that content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
