This lets Claude create, search, and manage notes in Bear through the grizzly CLI. You pipe content to create notes with tags, append text to existing ones, search by tag, or pull note contents back as JSON. It's macOS only and requires Bear running in the background. Most read operations need a Bear API token saved locally, which takes about 30 seconds to set up from Bear's help menu. The callback system is clean and grizzly handles the x-callback-url protocol so you don't have to think about it. Good fit if you're already using Bear and want Claude to treat it like a programmable notebook instead of juggling markdown files.

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:

  1. Open Bear -> Help -> API Token -> Copy Token
  2. 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 < /dev/null

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
