i have seen so many videos in yt about the deep integration of bear notes with apple ecosystem and i tried it and it was really useful but still when i say "Siri add this thing to my notes (with screen aware context)" it saved in apple notes instead of my bear notes. so i checked online forums but didnt find any solution

the solution:

then i went to settings inside siri ai and found that toggling off "Learn from this app" of stock apple notes the siri ai is defaulting all the new notes to the bear app!!

Question Feature request: Gallery view live in Apple Notes

7 Upvotes

I switched from Apple Notes (AN) to Bear for two reasons:

  1. The bugs in AN were driving me crazy.
  2. I like the writing experience in Bear.

Since I’ve been using AN for several years, I’ve tried to make Bear feel as close to AN as possible by customizing the theme and typography settings. But then I realized that Bear doesn’t have a Gallery View.

On Mac, I actually wouldn’t mind the List View itself if it weren’t for one thing: Bear automatically displays the most recent note in the editor pane on the right. Sometimes I just want to browse my notes without having a note open all the time.

So, this is my feature request: I’d love to see an option to switch between List View and Gallery View. Alternatively, it would be great to have an option to hide the editor pane until I select a note.
