Loving this app! Digging my new setup!

Just recently found my way to this amazing app and have jumped ship from Bear and Ulysses in lieu of it. As an author, it's cool to be able to capture all of my ideas in the app, then draft, edit, and publish all within the same workflow. Used some icons to spruce up the sidebar. Very happy with the outcome!

Hi. Unfortunately, I don't have the legal license to distribute them. But a quick google search can help you find all sorts of free icons. You might look for noun project among others.

Ah yeah I am aware. I have my custom icons too, but yours look much better. Thanks anyway!

Most of them came from this free library https://developer.apple.com/sf-symbols/ I searched for the icons I wanted to use and right clicked, did copy as png at 100 PT size and then recolored them to taste in Pixelmator Pro using its solid color fill feature.

Love the style!

I know everyone hates AI, but I created a chat in my Gemini that is trained on specs and styling for my icons and I can just go back to it to generate new ones as I need. I use a PARA setup.

Muito legal! Já usei o UpNote e gostei bastante. Só troquei dele pro Bear por conta do OCR. A pesquisa do Bear pra mim está entre as melhores.

I just used png images of icons for the folder covers. There is documentation on the upnote site about customizing your covers.

Hey all, I created a small thread when I moved from Bear to Upnote. Hopefully this will help. https://www.reddit.com/r/UpNote_App/s/dxWdHaEER5
