Summer is here, and we are bringing a fresh new feature Callouts: a clean, colorful way to make important information stand out. Watch it in action👇

Make it pop (nicely)

Callouts are styled blocks that help you emphasize significant part of your notes. It can be a handy tip, a critical warning, or just a note you want to leave for your future self.

Bear supports five Callout types:

• Note – Useful context worth noticing
• Tip – Smart advice to do things better or more easily
• Important – Essential info to stay on track
• Warning – Alerts to help you avoid big mistakes
• Caution – Points out risks or negative outcomes

Use Callouts to highlight class notes, add tips to tutorials, flag tricky steps in how-tos, or make sure important info never gets buried.

Easy to add, easy to read

You can add Callouts in a few ways:

• Use simple Markdown > [!TIP]
• From the Format menu in the menu bar, or BIU formatting bar on Mac
• From the BIU keyboard on iOS/iPadOS

You can write with rich formatting inside Callouts, customize titles, or even create title-only versions. Learn more here.
