claude-desktop-extension-bear-notes

Active·★ 206·MIT·Updated 2026-07-09

This extension allows users to search, read, create, and update Bear Notes directly within Claude conversations. It processes all data locally on macOS, ensuring complete privacy by interacting directly with Bear's SQLite database and native API.

claude-desktop-extension-bear-notes sits in the Vision / Multimodal category, so it is usually better judged by workflow fit, deployment style, and team needs than by isolated features alone. Based on the available metadata, it leans most clearly toward OCR search for text in attached images and PDFs. A representative use case is Summarize Claude conversations and create new Bear notes from them.. The listed license is MIT. GitHub stars are currently 205. Relevant tags include Claude, Bear Notes.

This write-up is based on the project's README and public repository data. We have not hand-tested the tool.
