First off, I want to say that I absolutely love Bear Notes. Its clean design, smooth performance, and powerful markdown support make it an integral part of my PKM.
That said, I wanted to share a few pain points I’ve encountered. These are areas where I feel Bear could improve to make an already great app even better.
### 1. Lack of Note History
This is the one issue that makes me occasionally evaluate other options. Recently, I accidentally deleted some content from a note, and there was no way to recover it. I did have a backup, but it wasn’t recent enough to save the changes I lost. A version history feature would be invaluable for peace of mind and productivity.
### 2. Limited Sharing Options Outside the Mac Ecosystem
It’s frustrating not being able to send notes via email or integrate with platforms outside of Apple’s ecosystem. Every time I am on my windows PC and I want to save something to bear I have to paste it on Google Keep and copy on Bear from my Mac or similar tricks.
### 3. No Tag-Specific Sorting Options
The ability to set different sorting preferences for each tag would be a game-changer. For example, some tags might work best sorted by creation date, while others might need alphabetical sorting.
### 4. Inability to Set Custom Creation Dates
I often want to sort notes chronologically, but not having the option to adjust a note’s creation date makes this tricky. Adding a feature to set or modify a note’s date would greatly enhance organizational flexibility.
### 5. Moving Tags in the Sidebar to Adjust Nesting
Currently, reorganizing tags to adjust their nesting structure is cumbersome. Drag-and-drop functionality (or a similar solution) would make managing the sidebar much more intuitive.
Again, I want to emphasize that Bear Notes is already amazing, and I’m sharing these points because I believe they could make it even better!

Note history is my number one feature request too

+1 to editable creation dates

For #2 a web version of Bear is coming next year sometime. It is under active development.
