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

You can manage Bear notes from the macOS terminal by using the Grizzly CLI to create, search, and open notes directly, eliminating context switching between apps. It requires Bear to be running and a valid API token.

What do I need to set up before using Grizzly CLI with Bear?

Before using Grizzly CLI with Bear, you need macOS with Bear installed and running, the Grizzly CLI installed, and a valid Bear API token stored at ~/.config/grizzly/token to authenticate terminal commands.

Can I create and tag Bear notes directly from the command line?

Yes, you can create and tag Bear notes directly from the command line using Grizzly CLI commands, allowing you to quickly capture ideas and meeting notes with specific tags without opening the Bear app.

How does searching Bear notes via a CLI compare to using the native app?

Searching Bear notes via a CLI allows you to retrieve content and search notes quickly from the terminal without leaving your current workflow, whereas the native app requires context switching to perform searches.

Why is my Bear CLI token not working for note management?

Bear CLI token management fails if the token stored at ~/.config/grizzly/token is invalid or if the Bear app is not actively running, as the Grizzly CLI requires both a valid token and an active Bear instance to operate.
