6. FAQ

We’ve compiled the most common questions users encounter when using Bike, hoping to help you.

6.1 What file formats does Bike support?

Bike supports open file formats including .html, .opml, and .txt. This means you can easily import and export documents and collaborate seamlessly with other apps.

6.2 How do I import my previous notes or outlines?

You can use the “Import” option in the “File” menu to select .opml or .html files for import. Bike intelligently parses the file structure and converts it to its own outline format.

6.3 The app won’t open after installation and shows “damaged”. What should I do?

This is usually because macOS security policies block unsigned apps from running. Go to “System Preferences” > “Security & Privacy” > “General” and select “Anywhere” under “Allow apps downloaded from”. If that option isn’t available, run the command in Terminal: sudo spctl --master-disable.

6.4 How do I back up my Bike documents?

Bike documents are saved by default in the location you specify. The simplest backup method is to copy the .bike files directly to iCloud, Dropbox, or an external drive. You can also enable automatic backup in “Preferences”.

6.5 How do I exit full-screen mode?

You can press the Esc key on your keyboard, or move your mouse to the top of the screen and click the green full-screen button that appears to exit full-screen mode.

6.6 Does Bike support Markdown syntax?

Bike does not directly support Markdown rendering, but it does support rich text editing. You can paste Markdown text and it will be treated as plain text. If you need Markdown support, you can export as a .txt file and process it with other tools.

6.7 Why has my outline collapse feature stopped working?

Please check whether you have selected the correct line. Only parent headings with sub-items can be collapsed. You can click the small triangle icon to the left of the heading, or use the shortcut Command + Shift + [ or ] to collapse or expand.

6.8 How do I customize keyboard shortcuts?

Most of Bike’s shortcuts can be customized in “System Preferences” > “Keyboard” > “Shortcuts” > “App Shortcuts”. Click the “+” button, select the Bike app, then enter the menu command name you want to modify and the new shortcut combination.

6.9 What should I do if my documents won’t open after an update?

First, confirm you have downloaded the latest version of Bike. If the problem persists, try right-clicking the document, selecting “Show Package Contents”, and checking whether the internal files are intact. We recommend backing up your documents regularly to prevent data loss.

6.10 How do I contact technical support?

You can get help by visiting Bike’s official website or joining its active community forum. The developer team regularly responds to user questions and provides detailed solutions.
