Introducing BearGist

I'm thrilled to introduce BearGist — a native macOS client for GitHub Gist that lives in your menu bar.

The Idea

As a developer, I use GitHub Gist constantly to save code snippets, notes, and quick scripts. But switching to a browser every time felt disruptive. I wanted a native Mac experience that made working with Gists as seamless as possible.

What BearGist Offers

BearGist brings GitHub Gist directly to your Mac. Create new gists, browse your collection, and manage your snippets without leaving your current workflow.

Features

• •Quick Create: Create new gists with syntax highlighting in seconds
• •Browse Library: Search and filter through all your existing gists
• •Public & Secret: Support for both public and secret gists
• •Copy & Share: Quickly copy gist URLs or content to clipboard
• •Native Design: Built for macOS with full dark mode support
• •Menu Bar Access: Always accessible from your menu bar

Perfect for Developers

Whether you're saving configuration files, code snippets, or quick notes, BearGist makes the process frictionless. No more context switching to your browser — your gists are always one click away.

Privacy First

BearGist uses GitHub's official OAuth flow for authentication. Your credentials are never stored by the app — only a secure access token that you can revoke anytime from your GitHub settings.

Download BearGist from the Mac App Store and streamline your code snippet workflow.
