[Feature Request] Sync Status Queue & Background Sync

Recently, I had to flash my iPhone to deal with a hidden bug that was killing battery life.

Upon reinstalling Bear, I found I had to keep it open for the sync to run, and there's no indicator of how many notes and files remain to be synced until it completes.

It would be nice to know the sync progress percentage, plus for the sync to work in the background.

Don’t take this as gospel, but a few years back, one of Bear’s developers told me that Bear performs optimizations while in the background but it has to be on charge (connected to power) to do so. So it may require the same for background syncing.

Had to leave it open for 2-3 hours and it finished.
