Better Bear vs Clickup Cli

bear_list_notes

List Bear notes with optional tag filtering. Returns an array of notes with IDs, titles, tags, pin status, and modification dates. Each note includes two tag fields: 'tags' mirrors Bear's CloudKit index verbatim (includes ancestor expansions — a note tagged #parent/child will show both 'parent' and 'parent/child'); 'attached_tags' shows only leaf tags (the most-specific tag on each branch). Notes with 'locked: true' are private/encrypted in Bear and their body content is not searchable — if a search returns no results, check whether the relevant note is locked. Use bear_get_note to read the full content of a specific note.

bear_get_note

Get a single Bear note's full content and metadata by ID. Returns the note title, tags, full markdown text, and dates. The response includes 'tags' (CloudKit index, may contain ancestor tags like 'parent' for a note tagged '#parent/child') and 'attached_tags' (leaves only). If the note is locked/private, 'locked: true' will be included in the response. Use the 'raw' option to get just the markdown without metadata.

bear_search

Full-text search across Bear note titles, tags, and body content. Returns matching notes ranked by relevance (title matches first, then tag, then body). Body matches include a text snippet with surrounding context. Locked/private notes will match by title but may not match body searches — results include 'locked: true' for these notes. If you can't find content you expect, try listing notes to check if the relevant note is locked.
