I’d like to request a built-in Presentation Mode in Bear — something minimal and elegant, similar to the one that used to exist in Dropbox Paper.
The idea is to let users present a note in fullscreen, divided into sections or slides using simple separators like —, with no visible toolbars or editing interface. Ideally, it would also support a choice between light or dark mode for better readability in different contexts.
While I currently use Deckset for this purpose — which works well and supports advanced themes — the workflow requires exporting the note from Bear, opening Deckset, selecting a theme, and preparing the presentation manually. It works, but it’s not seamless.
A simple “Present” button in Bear would make this process instant and far more integrated, especially for those of us who use Bear on iPad or during meetings. Even a lightweight implementation would be a huge productivity boost.
Some features that could be part of this:
- Fullscreen, clean view of the note
- Markdown — as slide/page break
- Tap or arrow navigation
- Toggle for dark/light background
This wouldn’t need to compete with professional slide tools — just a fast, focused way to present Bear notes without leaving the app.
Thanks for considering it!
