“Bear is particularly good at combining notes, daily planning, meeting notes, ideas, and checklists in one place.”
“Its biggest advantage is that your tasks live alongside the context in which they matter.”
“Bear excels at: capturing tasks, daily plans, project notes, checklists, and keeping everything connected.”
“Bear has a particularly useful built-in Todo section, which collects notes containing unfinished tasks.”
“You can also search using @todo and organize tasks with nested tags.”
“Bear provides Shortcuts integration to transfer tasks into Reminders, including links back to the original Bear note.”
“Bear is less suited to: managing deadlines, recurring tasks, reminders, priorities, and a large number of tasks across projects.”
“The biggest limitation is reminders.”
“Its developers have explicitly said they don't plan to add native reminders.”
“I'd happily use Bear as my primary productivity workspace and potentially eliminate Things 3, Todoist or another dedicated task manager if my task system were relatively uncomplicated.”
“The best compromise: Bear + Apple Reminders”
“Apple Reminders handles anything with a deadline, notification or recurring schedule.”
