Sync notes from Bear to a local directory

Bear Sync

This is a small python package to sync notes from Bear to a local directory as markdown files.

Installation

via pip:

pip install git+https://github.com/chemron/sync-bear-notes.git

Usage

bear-sync [options] <directory>

Where <directory> should be the directory that the notes should be written to.

Options:

--db-dir TEXT: Path to Bear's database directory. Defaults to ~/Library/Group Containers/9K33E3U3T4.net.shinyfrog.bear/Application Data/database.sqlite

--overwrite: Overwrite existing markdown files with the same name.

--remove-existing: Remove existing markdown files before syncing. WARNING: This will delete all markdown files in output-dir.

Behaviour

This package attempts to mimic the behaviour of bear with a directory structure. At the moment, this results some duplication of files. If you have a document in bear like follows:

# My Bear Document

#tag/subtag #tag2

This is my bear document.

then the resulting directory structure will be:

bear_sync_folder/
├── tag/
|   ├── My Bear Document.md
│   ├── subtag/
│   │   ├── My Bear Document.md
├── tag2/
|   ├── My Bear Document.md
