Bear severely LAGGING in MacOS Taho 26.1 on M1 Air 16GB RAM

  • Bear Version: 2.7 (14270)
  • OS Version: Taho 26.1 on M1 Air 16 GB RAM
  • What were you doing: Whenever I use notes, basically typing out anything, going in a state of flow where I’m typing out notes.
  • What feature did you use: Regular notes.
  • What happened: So there is a delay in actually seeing the words when I am typing out, as well as when I delete it. It takes about a few milliseconds, maybe 200-300 ms, to actually either type out that entire word or delete that word when I do Ctrl Delete. Things like this would never happen before, but in the recent past it started happening a lot. That is why I have actually switched out of typing out Bear, because I feel like there is a big lag from when I type something to me seeing it on the screen.
  • What did you expect to happen: No lag when I type something out.

Do you mind telling me if you experience the same problem with Bear 2.7.3?
You might need to manually update by visiting Bear’s Mac App Store page:

this seems to have resolved things, thank you very much for a prompt response and update. will keep you posted if i run into the same issues again.

side note - love using bear! been a pro user and fanboy since 2018/19. love it! thank you for building a great clean app. typing on it without lags and everything made me miss writing and typing.
