Tracks every story
See everything you're working on — in progress, filed, published — in one menu-bar dashboard, organized by status.
How it works
Every story starts as a note. Story Desk keeps them all organized in one dashboard, without asking you to leave Bear.
One-keystroke creation
Open the new-story panel from anywhere, type a slug, and Story Desk builds a fresh note from your template — dated and tagged, ready to write.
Lives in Bear
No new database to manage or sync. Story Desk reads and writes directly to your existing Bear notes.
WhisperBridge companion
A small menu-bar helper watches for new MacWhisper meeting transcripts and offers to attach each one straight into a story's attachment bar. A personal tool, not publicly distributed.
Get it
Free for Mac. Signed and notarized, distributed directly — no App Store required.
