We are thrilled to announce the release of Bear 2.2.0! This update brings a host of small yet significant improvements… you asked and we’ve listened! Along with essential bug fixes and new themes to enhance your Bear experience. Let’s dive in!
Improved Folding
Say hi to a better and easier folding experience! We’ve added Folding as a Side Action in the editor which will make it so much easier to expand or collapse your content as needed.
On Mac, when you hover on the left side of the editor, folding chevrons will appear right next to the collapsible sections such as headings and multi-level lists (including todos!). To fold or collapse sections, simply click the chevron. The chevrons will be automatically hidden while you’re typing to keep a clean and distraction-free writing space.
On iOS, a new menu option “Toggle Side Actions” is added into the more menu (⫶) on the top right of the editor. When it’s on, the folding chevrons remain visible alongside the collapsible sections.
Copy Code Action
A Copy Code button has been added to the Side Actions area next to the code blocks to quickly copy long code snippets without hassle.
On Mac, the Copy Code icon will appear next to the first line of the code block by hovering the mouse on the left side of code blocks.
On iOS, go to the more menu (⫶) on the top right in the editor and select “Toggle Side Actions”, the Copy Code icon will appear together with other Side Actions like Folding. You can always toggle off to hide the buttons.
4 New Themes
4 cool new themes are coming to your notes:
- Tokyo Night Light: A lighter iteration of the Tokyo Night theme. Designed with intentionally low contrast to maintain focus without distractions. Inspired by enkia
- Gruvbox: A retro-themed color scheme that brings a nostalgic touch to your notes, inspired by morhetz
- Catppuccin Latte: A soothing warm pastel theme, ideal for a balanced, low-contrast aesthetic in your notes. Inspired by Catppuccin
- Catppuccin Macchiato: A dark pastel theme also inspired by Catppuccin themes
