FAQPage Schema
How do I manage Bear notes from the macOS command line?

You can manage Bear notes from the macOS command line by using the grizzly CLI to create notes with titles and tags, append text to existing notes, or search notes by tag. This eliminates the need to manually open the Bear app for common note organization tasks.

Do I need an API token to append text to existing Bear notes?

An API token is optionally required to append text to existing Bear notes or open notes by ID. The grizzly CLI uses this token to authenticate specific operations, while basic note creation and tag listing function without it.

How do I create a new note with tags using the grizzly CLI?

To create a new note with tags using the grizzly CLI, execute a command specifying the note title and desired tags. The Skill directly processes this input to instantly generate and organize the note within the Bear app on macOS.

Can I search Bear notes by tag without opening the application?

You can search Bear notes by tag without opening the application by running a grizzly CLI command. The tool queries your Bear database to list all available tags and retrieve notes associated with a specific tag directly in the terminal.

What are the limitations of using CLI to organize Bear notes?

Limitations of using the CLI to organize Bear notes include requiring the Bear app installed on macOS and optionally needing an API token for certain operations. It handles text creation and tag searching but does not process rich media or complex formatting.

Does the grizzly CLI work with Bear notes on Windows?

The grizzly CLI does not work with Bear notes on Windows because Bear is a macOS exclusive application. This Skill requires the Bear app to be installed and running on an Apple macOS environment to execute note management commands.
