We’re excited to share a new chapter for Bear: Bear Web is now in Public Beta! This is a big step toward making Bear available wherever you need it, and we’d love for you to give it a try.

About Bear Web

The Bear Web is designed to complement our Mac, iPhone, and iPad apps. With Bear Web, you’ll be able to browse, edit, and search your notes from any web browser, especially for times when you can’t access our native apps.

Please note, Bear Web is not meant to replace the full-featured experience on Apple devices and will have certain limitations due to Web app restrictions, such as export and sketcher.

A few things to keep in mind

  • Bear Web is in public beta, so things will improve as we go. Please do not use it for critical work and make sure to backup your notes regularly.
  • A Bear Pro subscription is not required to access the Bear Web public beta. However, it is required to sync your notes with the native Bear apps, and will be required to access Bear Web once it’s out of beta.
  • Advanced Data Protection (ADP) must be turned off to use Bear Web due to Apple’s restrictions.
  • Some features, like encryption and export, are still on the way. We’re already working on future updates, and you can check the release notes for the latest releases.
  • We are doing our best to bring the same Bear experience to your browser, but some features from the native apps may be unavailable or behave differently due to web limitations.

How to get started

  1. ⚠️ Back up your notes
  2. Open Bear Web in your browser and sign in with your Apple ID
  3. That’s it, you are in!

Give feedback

We’d love to hear your thoughts about Bear Web. If you run into a bug or want to share your feedback, feel free to post in Bear Web category on the forum and join discussions. When sharing feedback, please include the operating system and browser you’re using — it helps a lot!

Keyboard shortcuts

Bear’s keyboard shortcuts vary slightly between the native macOS version and the web version. These differences arise primarily due to system-specific key mappings and conflicts with browser shortcuts. You can check the full shortcut list here: Bear Web keyboard shortcuts

Happy testing!

Thanks again for being a key part of the Bear journey. We can’t wait to see you access Bear on more devices, including Windows and Android! 😉
