Hi there! I’ve developed a free companion app for Bear, designed for templates, quick access, and daily notes. This is my first macOS app and started as a weekend project, but soon it became something useful for me. Now it is available on TestFlight, so some bugs are to be expected. You can find more information and the TestFlight link here: [Bear Claw – fodaveg.](https://fodaveg.net/bear-claw/) ![Captura de pantalla 2024-07-18 a las 20.10.56](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/bear/original/2X/8/84478b6d7ca656d31844dbbdc0f5fabb9e061965.png) ![Captura de pantalla 2024-07-18 a las 20.12.08](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/bear/original/2X/a/a6462dc121dad35b89ef59d935b4d6a60f6393da.png) If you’d like to give it a try, report bugs, or request features, please let me know. I hope this is helpful! ---

Thanks!!! it is my first macos app and it was developed by my needs so it is interesting to see people using it in other ways than planned the first time and making the app crash so I can fix it and make it stable. Thanks for your time! ---

Are you still accepting beta testers for this? If so I’d like to try it. The test flight link says no more testers are being accepted. Thanks! ---
