Note Revision History

Big +1 to this. I accidentally deleted a large body of text recently while chopping and chunking some writing in Bear, and in between app restarts, I couldn’t find a whole 3 paragraph block :scream: . Thankfully, it was in my clipboard history manager, but it would have been painful if it wasn’t.

This, like E2EE, is a pressing need for me, unlike a web version, and Panda. First get the basics right (like security/privacy, and protection against accidental data loss), then add new stuff. Bear is great, but really lacking here.

Note revision is one of the most important missing features in Bear for me!

Another +1. Revision history is important. As I recall, the way this worked in Evernote (where I came from years ago) is when you restore a note from a previous version it becomes the latest version (though the revision history remains intact, including a version with the most recent edits prior to the restore). The behavior (as I recall) was also the same with files in dropbox when I used that (I had “pack rat” with unlimited version history).

+1 from me as well. Would love to have this for security of not losing note contents
