Free of charge
Every feature is available to everyone at no cost. No trial period, no paywalled core, no "premium" tier hiding the useful parts.

Our principles
Four freedoms we actually ship
"Free software" is easy to put on a website. These are the concrete commitments we hold every Open Bear app to.
Free of ads
No banners, no interstitials, no sponsored categories. Your attention is not the product we sell.
Free of tracking
We never sell or broker personal data and we do not build advertising profiles. The app contains no analytics and no advertising SDKs of any kind.
Free of accounts
No sign-up, no email, no phone number. Your records live on your device, so there is no user database of ours that could ever be breached.
Applications
What we build
One app today, built properly, rather than five built quickly. More Open Bear apps will follow the same principles.
Bear Wallet
Track income and expenses across multiple accounts and currencies, set monthly budgets, schedule recurring payments and see exactly where your money goes. Records are stored on your device — not on our servers.
The organization
Who is Open Bear?
Small on purpose
Open Bear is an independent project, built and funded by a single developer. There are no investors and no growth targets — which is precisely why we can afford not to monetize your data.
Local-first by default
We design apps that work fully offline and keep their data on-device. The network is an optional convenience, never a requirement to access your own information.
Plain-language policies
Our Privacy Policy and Terms are written to be read, not to be survived. If something in them is unclear, that is a bug — tell us.
Take control of your money — without giving up your privacy
Bear Wallet is free on iOS and Android. No account, no ads, no strings.
