We are so excited to announce that Bear now supports Apple Vision Pro! 
No matter where you choose to use Bear, we are happy to provide you with a beautiful and peaceful experience. 
Available now: Bear - Markdown Notes on the App Store
Here’s a glimpse of Bear on Apple Vision Pro:
I would love a native VisionOS app. There are a lot of benefits like window sizing, easier control targets for the eyes, and text clarity.
The same way running an iPad app on an M1 Mac isn’t the same. It works, but having a UI designed for that platform makes a big difference.
Out of genuine curiosity, how many Bear uses do you think will be AVP wearers? I understand the cool factor, and that it [hopefully] didn’t take a lot of resources to enable it, but I hope you won’t be focused in the near term on a native VisionOS app. Given your other priorities, I don’t see this one as high on the cost/benefit list. Of course, I could be completely wrong about this, but I suspect the number of Bear users who purchase an AVP this year will be in the low double digits.
My hope is that it’s not a significant investment. I acknowledge the current market is small, but another question to ask is how many AVP users could become Bear users. Apple Notes is the only VisionOS notes app at the moment, and if users want Markdown, there’s nothing. There’s 200,000+ AVP owners with no native Markdown app.
I don’t want to put other improvements on the back burner for this, but I would really appreciate it and use it extensively. At current state, it’s easier and more functional for me to mirror my MacBook display into VisionOS and use Bear that way rather than use the iPad version within VisionOS.
I very much believe this is only the start of this platform. Also, super stoked about the Web version of Bear. I’d like access to my notes at work.
Relax, guys. It’s most likely the iPad version in compatibility mode. Next to no work required for the devs, and wonderful for AVP users.
Resurfacing this thread to kindly remind the devs that a native Vision Pro app is still very much desired and would greatly improve the use of Bear in the Vision Pro.
The iPad app restricts resizing, limits how multiple windows work, and makes navigation with the eyes much more difficult. It works, but imagine using the iPhone app on macOS, that’s what it feels like.
I would like to have notes floating in my space like sticky notes, to pull up notes side by side for comparison, and more easily navigate the UI with my eyes.
What is the incentive for the Devs to spend time on something, that would have (or has) a tiny fraction of their overall users on that platform. At this point, Vision Pro users are not likely to get more than a ported iPad app.
We already have a ported iPad app, that is part of the request to move beyond that. The desire is that the platform grows, and as more apps are built platform specific, the user base grows.
Do you recall running iOS apps on iPad? Do you recall watchOS apps that loaded all data from iOS remotely?
With any Apple specific developer, the hope is that all platforms are covered and Apple has tried to minimize the work necessary to deploy distinct applications for each platform.
I love using Bear, in part because of the polish and refinement given to each platform. I don’t want my iOS app to feel like a scrunched up desktop application like Obsidian does. I love Bear for its thoughtful touches and care given to the platform it’s running on. We now have another platform to apply this existing principle to.
I get wanting your favorite tools to work everywhere. Coincidentally and unfortunately, this has been making the rounds the last couple days:
Hilarious, great timing
This would be disappointing if they killed product, but the phrasing and prior rumors of a cheaper version imply they’re not done with it yet. The device is very cost prohibitive and bringing the price down would be amazing.
I hope Apple continues to make a version of it, I hope the price drops, and I hope Bear makes a native app for it
