Hello Bear folks,

I’ve been using Bear to take notes with links. And I love that it fetches the titles for pages and uses them as the link titles.

But when Bear isn’t able to access the page due to authentication, the links I paste end up with “Example app: Log in” as the title.

In these cases, when Bear detects that the url that the user pasted, redirects to another url, I would prefer that Bear just paste the links without a title. Offering the option to choose such functionality would be nice too.

Thanks!
