Welcome! I am fairly new here as well. I used Bear notes on an older iPhone a few years ago and the app was/is so beautiful to look at. I would suggest taking a look through the Bear blogs and find a few helpful tips from there. There are a few youtubers too which cover Bear note as well which can show you just how you might wish to layout your notes etc. Enjoy! ---

The best tip I can give you is to start small (don’t import large amount of data in Bear from the get go, and stay away from over-complicated shortcuts) but try and live in it as much as you can. Make opening Bear to check what you’re working on and take notes a habit. That way you’ll soon understand why its simplicity is also its super power.
