Simplenote vs Bear App
Simplenote is a highly simplified version of Bear.
Simplenote
Simplenote is perfect for when you need to note something down quickly. It's very basic, which can be both a good and bad thing.
Bear
Consider Bear if you start getting annoyed by limitations of Simplenote. Bear adds more options to organize, format, export and secure your notes, while keeping the minimal aesthetic of Simplenote.
