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
```
)

For operations that require a token (add-text, tags, open-note --selected), you need an authentication token:

Save it:

echo "YOUR_TOKEN" > ~/.config/grizzly/token

Create a note

bash

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

bash

grizzly open-note --id "NOTE_ID" --enable-callback --json

Append text to a note

bash

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

List all tags

bash

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

Search notes (via open-tag)

bash

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

Common flags:

Grizzly reads config from (in priority order):

Environment variables (

GRIZZLY_TOKEN_FILE

,

GRIZZLY_CALLBACK_URL

,

GRIZZLY_TIMEOUT

)

Example

~/.config/grizzly/config.toml

:

toml

token_file = "~/.config/grizzly/token"
callback_url = "http://127.0.0.1:42123/success"
timeout = "5s"

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)
