In Bear for Mac, you can easily open notes in their own windows: **Double click** on a note in the Notes List or select `Note` → `Open In New Window` from the menu bar.

You can open [note links](https://bear.app/faq/how-to-link-notes-together/) in external windows by holding the **⌘ key** while clicking the link in Bear's note editor.

You can also make the window float on top of all other windows on your Mac. Once a note is floating in its own window, you can select `Window` → `Float on Top`. Alternatively, simply click the **more (⫶) menu**, then click `Float on Top`.
