The only way to access file history in Bear is through undo. Bear lacks that feature, changes I made will replace the previous version of the file in iCloud. One thing I like from Ulysses is file versioning similar to MacOS’s Time Machine.
The subscription model does not bother me, but I found several aspect to reconsider: #Backup # I feel satisfied with my three days of Bear usage. Bear itself is a good writing app, with nice clean interface design, great synchronization between MacOS and iOS (or iPadOS) platform, and just right MarkDown implementation. In the previous post, I compared Ulysses and Bear. Part 2 of my previous post: In Search of Good Writing App - Bear vs Ulysses “People are never satisfied” - Paulo Coelho’s almost literal translation That’s iA Writer for me.“Orang emang gak pernah puas!” - Indonesian colloquial sayings Occasionally, though, the mood calls for an elegant champagne flute. BBEdit and MarsEdit are like pint glasses or coffee mugs. The best way I can put it is that iA Writer is a classy app. But they pull it off - all three of iA Writer’s typefaces are very good (I’m a Duo man myself). iA Writer is even so presumptuous as to only use its own custom typefaces: Mono, Duo, and Quattro. To me it’s the gold standard for Markdown syntax styling - great colors, real italic and bold styling for *italic* and **bold** spans, and, my very favorite touch, outdented #’s for headings. So while I’d never consider using a Mac writing app that wasn’t richly scriptable and customizable, it’s not an issue for me on iPad. I don’t use any of iA Writer’s actual “focus mode” stuff, I just find iPadOS naturally better for focusing on a single task. The right words for each sentence, sentences that snap together into paragraphs, paragraphs ordered properly into sections, sections that together form a complete piece. The truth is I don’t do much of my writing on my iPad (and almost none on my iPhone) but when I am writing on my iPad, it’s generally something long, and I’m trying to focus. Jason Snell has it on his aforelinked shortlist, but dings it for its lack of extensibility. Me, my favorite iOS app for writing in Markdown, without question, is iA Writer.
