Bear Notes
Use grizzly to create, read, and manage notes in Bear on macOS.
Requirements
-
Bear app installed and running
-
For some operations (add-text, tags, open-note --selected), a Bear app token (stored in
~/.config/grizzly/token)
Getting a Bear Token
For operations that require a token (add-text, tags, open-note --selected), you need an authentication token:
-
Open Bear → Help → API Token → Copy Token
-
Save it:
echo "YOUR_TOKEN" > ~/.config/grizzly/token
Common Commands
Create a note
echo "Note content here" | grizzly create --title "My Note" --tag work
grizzly create --title "Quick Note" --tag inbox Open/read a note by ID
grizzly open-note --id "NOTE_ID" --enable-callback --json
Append text to a note
echo "Additional content" | grizzly add-text --id "NOTE_ID" --mode append --token-file ~/.config/grizzly/token
List all tags
grizzly tags --enable-callback --json --token-file ~/.config/grizzly/token
Search notes (via open-tag)
grizzly open-tag --name "work" --enable-callback --json
## Options
Common flags:
- `--dry-run` — Preview the URL without executing
- `--print-url` — Show the x-callback-url
- `--enable-callback` — Wait for Bear's response (needed for reading data)
- `--json` — Output as JSON (when using callbacks)
- `--token-file PATH` — Path to Bear API token file
## Notes
- Bear must be running for commands to work
- Note IDs are Bear's internal identifiers (visible in note info or via callbacks)
- Use `--enable-callback` when you need to read data back from Bear
- Some operations require a valid token (add-text, tags, open-note --selected)npx skills add https://github.com/firecrawl/openclaw --skill bear-notesRun this in your project — your agent picks the skill up automatically.
