Bear has introduced Workspace, a feature that lets users designate any tag as a focused writing environment, showing only notes and related tags under that tag to minimize distractions. This allows users to quickly switch between projects or contexts, keeping their note workspace streamlined and private. The update also adds scoping for the MCP server, enabling control over which notes are visible based on tags, enhancing privacy and organization within Bear.
