Bear Integration

The short answer: open Bear, create or open a note, click where you want text, press ⌃+⌥+R, speak for 30-60 seconds, and AICHE inserts polished prose that matches Bear's elegant aesthetic.

Bear's elegant markdown editor works beautifully on Mac, but typing breaks the minimalist writing experience. You're focused on the craft of writing, then the keyboard mechanics intrude.

1. Open Bear on macOS.
2. Create a new note (Cmd+N) or open an existing one.
3. Click to position your cursor where you want content.
4. Press your AICHE hotkey (⌃+⌥+R) to start recording.
5. Speak your content naturally (example: "Weekly reflection on shipping progress. Completed three major features this week including the new dashboard analytics, the user preference system, and the email notification overhaul. The authentication refactor took longer than expected but eliminated significant technical debt we've been carrying since launch. Next week's focus areas are mobile optimization and comprehensive performance testing across all user flows").
6. Press the hotkey again-AICHE transcribes, applies Content Organization to create paragraph structure, and inserts formatted text.

Heads-up: Bear's markdown formatting happens through typed syntax like **bold** or #heading. After dictating content, add markdown formatting manually. AICHE handles the prose; you add the styling touches that make Bear notes beautiful.

The pro-tip: enable "Polish text" in AICHE settings before dictating into Bear. Your casual speech becomes refined prose that matches Bear's aesthetic without needing multiple editing passes. The combination preserves Bear's minimalist feel while capturing thoughts at speaking speed.

Result: a 600-word journal entry that takes 12 minutes to type with proper reflection and detail now takes 3 minutes to speak, and you maintain the contemplative mindset that makes Bear notes meaningful rather than rushing through typing.

Do this now: open Bear, create a note, press your hotkey, and spend 2 minutes reflecting out loud about your current project. Let AICHE capture the stream, then read what Bear renders.
