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

Copy & paste — that's it
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

Copy & paste — that's it

 Append text to a note

echo "Additional content" | grizzly add-text --id "NOTE_ID" --mode append --token-file ~/.config/grizzly/token

Copy & paste — that's it

 List all tags

grizzly tags --enable-callback --json --token-file ~/.config/grizzly/token

Copy & paste — that's it

 Search notes (via open-tag)

grizzly open-tag --name "work" --enable-callback --json

Copy & paste — that's it

## 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)
