In Bear, you can [add tags to notes](https://bear.app/faq/nested-tags/) to organize them and make them easier to find later. You can also [link notes within other notes](https://bear.app/faq/how-to-link-notes-together/) for easy reference, to create a list of current notes you’re working on, or to build your own personal wiki.

To help with these processes, Bear has **Tag Autocomplete** and **Note Autocomplete**. These features help you quickly apply existing tags to new notes, and to create just the right note links.
## Tag Autocomplete

To use Tag Autocomplete:
- Tap the Tag Autocomplete button (#) in Bear’s custom keyboard bar
- OR, start a tag by typing a pound sign (#) anywhere in a note
- The Suggestion Box appears with suggestions based on your existing tags
- Scroll the tag list. Optionally, type a couple letters to narrow the suggestions
- Tap the tag you want to add
- No more accidental #tahs and #tgas in your Sidebar!

**Tip**: If you’re on a Mac or using a keyboard with an iPad, arrow keys can scroll this list, and Return selects a tag.

## Note Autocomplete

Note Autocomplete works a lot like Tag Autocomplete: 

- Tap the Note Autocomplete button in custom keyboard bar (kinda like a 📄)
- OR, trigger it anywhere in a note by typing double brackets, like this:  [[
- The Suggestion Box will appear with a list of your recent notes
- Scroll the note list. Optionally, type a couple letters to narrow the suggestions
- Tap the note you want, and a link will be inserted in your current note
