The talk of the town this fall is widgets, thanks to Apple\u2019s release of iOS 14, iPadOS 14, and macOS Big Sur. Fortunately, Bear has entered the chat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bear 1.8.2 introduces modern widgets for the Mac, iPad, and iPhone. We got small widgets, we got large widgets, we even have the widget size in between those two. Widgets behave a little differently depending on the device, so check out Apple\u2019s instructions on how to add and edit widgets on iPhone<\/a>, iPad<\/a>, and Mac<\/a> to get familiar with the basics of adding them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this launch, we have three types of widgets, each available in all three sizes. Our support doc<\/a> explains how to use and edit them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Single note widget<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Keep a note always in view, right on your Home Screen. Pick your preferred size of widget, then edit it to pick the note to display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sidebar widget<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

View recent notes from key sections of the Sidebar, including: Notes, Untagged, Todo, Today, and any of your tags. Tap a note to open it in Bear, tap the label at the bottom of the widget to visit that location in Bear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Search widget<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

View the most recent notes that match a search query in Bear. Plus<\/em>, tap the label at the bottom to open that search query in Bear!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ready for Big Sur<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Icon styles are changing with the Big Sur times. Bear for Mac\u2019s icon is now a rounded square and the shadowing is smoother. Yes, we redesigned all icon theme color variants, including for all Bear Pro themes<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also fixed a handful of UI quirks and a few bugs related to running on Big Sur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ready for the M1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Apple is now building its own Mac CPUs\u2014called M1\u2014for blazing fast speed, efficiency, and silent running. Bear is ready for the new M1 MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac mini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy those widgets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s all for now. How do you like Bear 1.8.2? We\u2019d love to hear from you on Reddit<\/a>, Twitter<\/a>, Facebook<\/a>, or directly at bear@shinyfrog.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
