Today seems like a great day to release Bear 1.2.2 for iPad, iPhone, and Mac, so that\u2019s what we just did. It may have a small version number bump, but Bear 1.2.2 brings some not-so-small new features that have been requested by our stellar community on Reddit<\/a> and Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highlights<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many, perhaps even all, your notes are special, but some parts of your notes are more special than others. Now, Bear allows you to highlight those parts in all their neon glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notes break out of the Mac app<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You asked, we listened. Now you can edit Bear notes, or simply bask in their brilliance, in separate windows<\/a> (yes, plural!) simply by double clicking them in the notes list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remove Tags from Notes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can always edit a note manually to remove tags. But Bear 1.2.2 has a new option to do it right from the sidebar and notes list, to make it easier when organizing multiple notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mac<\/strong>: Click a tag in the sidebar to view all notes with that tag. Then, right-click any note and click \u201cRemove tag (X)\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

iOS<\/strong>: Tap a tag in the sidebar, swipe left on a note, tap More, and tap \u201cRemove tag (X)\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Special Search Options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bear has a whole bunch of advanced search options<\/a>, including what we call \u201cSpecial Search\u201d triggers. You can add things to your Bear searches like @untagged<\/strong> to find all untagged notes, @task<\/strong> for all notes that contain tasks, and @files<\/strong> for notes that have attachments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Bear 1.2.2, we\u2019ve added two new, requested Special Searches: @today<\/strong> and @yesterday<\/strong>. As you might guess, these allow you to find all notes created today or yesterday, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plenty More in This Release<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Check the full release notes below for other goodies in Bear 1.2.2. There are new shortcuts for inserting the current date and time, note printing<\/a> and AirDrop<\/a> sharing on iOS, and opening notes in their own windows on Macs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope you like Bear 1.2.2, and we\u2019d love to hear what you think at bear@shinyfrog.net (mailto:bear@shinyfrog.net)<\/a>, Reddit<\/a> and on Twitter @BearNotesApp<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
