As a “up-and-coming star” in the Markdown writing tool, Bear may not be as “famous” as Ulysses, but with a lighter weight With a design and a better writing experience, Bear successfully won the 2017 Apple Design Awards design award and received a lot of praise and loyal users. On the other hand, Bear is also a typical example of the success of the “subscription system” app.
Of course, behind the success, it’s inseparable from the team’s careful polishing of the product, which has been developed for a year. Later, Bear released an update for version 1.7. In addition to fixing bugs and improving the detailed experience, there are many new features that we have been waiting for for a long time. Let’s take a look at A Jun.
Encryption makes your notes safer
Notes are especially important as part of recording private life and important things, which is why everyone needs to encrypt this feature. The reason for this high.
In the new 1.7 release, users can set encryption for individual notes or directly lock the entire app, via Face ID Or the Touch ID can be recognized to access the content in the app.
About how to encrypt a single note, the steps are as follows:
1. Select the content you want to encrypt in the notes list and enter it. Click the “Operation” button in the upper corner.
2. Select “Encryption” on the “Action” page and create “New Password” and “Password Prompt” as prompted. /span>
< /p>
3. When the encryption operation is completed, the specific content of the note will be hidden and will need to be verified before accessing it.
Note that notes containing attachments are currently not encrypted.
About how to directly lock the entire app, the steps are as follows:
1. After opening the app, find the “Password Lock” button in the settings.
2. Click “Password Lock” to open the “Use Face ID to Lock Bear’s Hand” switch.
3. The initial setup will be required to use the system’s Face ID permission. Here we select “OK”.
4. For the time it takes to automatically lock an encrypted note, we can choose immediate or even longer.
It is worth mentioning that this feature is currently available on all platforms (iOS, iPadOS, and macOS), users need to subscribe to become a Pro user to unlock this permission.
Support “multi-space usage” for iPadOS
As one of the best new features of iPadOS, “Multi-Space Usage” is popular as soon as it is launched. In simple terms, users can open an app at the same time on both the left and right screens of “split screen browsing”. This feature is very suitable for processing two documents side by side, or using the same app to handle different projects that have been opened on the iPad.
Bear has supported “Multi-Space Usage” in this version update, when we open the app on the home screen, We can use “split screen browsing” to open a window directly, whether it is browsing or editing, it will greatly improve our efficiency.
New theme and TagCons
By the most note-taking app, Bear has a rich theme “treasure” that users can set according to their preferences. Different “colors” to deal with different writing environments. At the same time, users can also adapt different icons according to different theme colors, which is really a “face value” bursting app.
In the upcoming release of iOS 13, the system itself will support the dark theme mode, but through the actual experience, I will feel that Bear provides The dark theme is more “soft” and more comfortable.
< /p>
As for what is TagCons? And what are the corresponding meanings?You can go directly to Official documentationQuery, there is no overstatement here. All in all, updating the theme and TagCons has become the “old tradition” of the development team, and the 1.7 version of the update will not be absent.
Better search and other detail enhancements
About the improvement of the search experience can be roughly divided into two aspects. On the one hand, on macOS, Bear finally supports Spotlight, and we can search for the desired notes anytime, anywhere, both in-app and in-app. On the other hand, on iOS and iPadOS, Spotlight’s search results have become more rapid, with almost no delay.
In version 1.7, the app itself also supports automatic padding of Emoji emoticons, making it easier to type Emoji in your notes. For users who are used to entering Emoji expressions, it is undoubtedly a thoughtful design.
When editing a work note, use the Western colon: and enter some key words such as laugh, cry, etc. Etc., the application will recognize the corresponding Emoji expression, you can use the up and down direction keys to select, press Enter to enter directly.
Special emphasis here is that you must add: before entering the keyword, and it must be in the Western state, otherwise Will be invalid. Currently this feature supports iOS, iPadOS and macOS versions, so let’s try it out.
write at the end
As we said at the beginning, Bear is a “up-and-coming star”, but it is more “advanced with the times” and more respectful. Every user feedback, even a small version of the iteration, will bring us a lot of different content and surprises. As a “face value” app app, Bear doesn’t just have the design, every time the function is polished enough to let the user see the team’s intentions. If you haven’t experienced Bear yet, I highly recommend that you go to the App Store to download and feel.
The app currently supports iOS, iPadOS and macOS, which can be downloaded for free in the app store. The price of the subscription to Pro version is ¥ 10/month, ¥103/year.
