- **Bear Version** :

2.1.8 (12574)

- **OS Version** :

Sequoia 15.5

- **What were you doing** :

Just editing notes, as usual.

- **What feature did you use** :

I expected notes to sync as usual.

- **What happened** :

Notes have not synced in two months! Bear incorrectly complains that “the internet connection seems to be offline.”

- **What did you expect to happen** :

Obviously, I expected notes to sync with my iPhone, where syncing seems active (last sync 2 seconds ago). The two devices use the same iCloud and App Store accounts. I tried toggling syncing on and off on the Mac, to no avail.

UPDATE: After restarting the app, the “no internet connection” message disappeared. Syncing still fails to start, however.

UPDATE #2: The app hadn’t updated in a long time, due to account confusion. After updating everything works as expected. Apologies for the false alarm.
