Bear 2.3.4 update: Improved highlighter

Good news everyone! We’ve improved and brought back the old default highlighter color for each theme! Plus, we’ve fine-tuned the multi-color highlighters for better readability, thanks to your awesome feedback. :rainbow:

In other news, we’ve made a small quality-of-life improvement by removing tags from the note preview in the note list, so you’ll see more of your actual content at a glance.

We’ve also addressed several bug fixes to keep Bear running smoothly. Check the full Changelog below.

That’s all for today! Let us know what you think about the update and see you next time!

Thank you, it appears this is still not working on Mac OS 11.x. Has any progress been made besides the build referenced here?

Nice work on the highlighter changes and note preview tag removal. It really cleans up daily notes. :+1:

Unfortunately, the tools provided (XCode suite) have not been updated since the September iOS 18/macOS 15 release. I expect an update this week or next for the incoming 18.1/15.1 and AI features update.
