Are there any plans to have some type of note sharing/collaboration? Even something simple would be nice.

technically, We consider online sharing as the next step to the web version, or in other words, once the web app renders the notes correctly and it’s stable we can consider working on sharing. Collaboration requires another step concerning both native and web apps. Sharing also concerns Bear’s team of service and we should investigate about what are our responsibilities when comes to hosting user content.

I’m very excited about this part of the feature roadmap! Regarding collaboration—specifically between two Bear app (pro) users—is there a way that Bear could utilize the existing iCloud collaboration functionality behind the scenes? I often share folders and files via iCloud Drive, and it works well.

hey there!
curious if there’s any updates on when the online sharing might become available? The use case I have is creating a shared grocery list with my wife and our nanny. currently we’re trying to use notion, but notion is a little heavyweight and i love bear’s UI so much better!

We want to do it eventually, but right now the focus is on Panda and the web version.
Just coming here to add my voice to this feature request.

I did export one of my notes as html and shared it via iMessage.
It just opens like a nice looking pdf. So sharing is kinda available already.

Sharing indeed is notthat difficult. Actually there are many possibilities. But I think the most people mean collaboration like you can do in apple notes

Any news on this front? As much as I love Bear Notes, this is a noticeable gap having recently migrated >1K notes from Apple Notes. Would really love to not have to resort to something like Google Docs to share simple notes with my family.
We still waiting, any news?
Imho, hosting the data isn’t what you should do. For my personal use cases, I just want someone else (eg. my partner) to have an updated copy of my note(s).
This would work for me: sending a note to someone via iMessage, and if they click on the note attachment, it should be added to their Bear Notes database without much user interaction. As automatic as possible.
Or also: maybe I could mark a certain tag to have send copies of updated notes, with that tag, automatically to set recipients; eg. once a day.
Hi everyone,
I noticed this thread started back in 2023 discussing the ability to share and collaborate on Bear notes, similar to how Apple Notes allows real-time collaboration. It’s now late 2025 and this feature still doesn’t seem to be available.
This is something that would make Bear significantly more useful for teams, families, and even casual collaborations. Could the Bear team provide some update on whether note sharing or real-time collaboration is on the roadmap? Even a rough timeline or a confirmation of whether it’s being considered would help us set expectations.
Thanks in advance for any visibility you can give—Bear is otherwise a fantastic app, and this seems like the one major gap compared to alternatives.
