Bear Alfred Workflow

Alfred 3 workflow to search and create notes in Bear.

Install

To install, download a released alfred-bear workflow and double-click to open in Alfred 3. Easy-peasy.

Searching and opening results

• bs -- Search for a note by title and open it in Bear.
• bst -- Search for a tag (a group of notes) by tag title and open it in Bear.

Creating a new note

• bn -- Create a new note with input as title. Tags optional.

  • bn I love notes! -- Creates a new note with the title and text "I love notes!"
  • bn I love notes! #love #notes -- Creates a new note with the title and text "I love notes!" and the tags "#love" and "#notes"

Known Issues

• Creating tags only works with single-word tags - multiword tags hopefully to come.

Todo

• Append text to existing notes.
• Figure out multi-word tags.
