We are working on a major upgrade to the note encryption feature, which will allow you to lock notes with attachments. On another note, weā€™ve also been keeping our heads down on the Bear web version and we will soon start alpha testing. While we canā€™t reveal any details just yet, rest assured and keep an eye here for updates. :wink:

A special thank you

We want to take a moment to give a special thank you to everyone here in the Bear Community. In a time when social media can feel a bit uncertain, weā€™re so grateful to have this community spaceā€”a place we like to think of as our Bear home. It means the world to us to see so many of you helping each other out, offering feedback, reporting bugs, and sharing your unique ways of using Bear. Your support and involvement are what make this community truly special, and weā€™re incredibly thankful for that.

Happy bear-thday to our little Bear! The past eight years have been an incredible journey. Thank you for being part of Bearā€™s storyā€”hereā€™s to many more years of happily writing, creating, and growing together!

Iā€™ve been pulling back from 3rd party apps and using only Apple productsā€“Mail, Calendar, Reminders, Passwords. The only 3rd party productivity product Iā€™m keeping is Bear. I just fell in love with it and have not seen a reason to change.

Congratulations on 8 yearsā€“glad to be part of the journey!
