Notes
A smaller Bear Pro, for people who don't need Bear Pro.
If Bear Pro is load-bearing for you, don't switch. You'll find this thinner and you'll be right. Markdown notes with tags and full-text search. It comes with 52 other tools for $19.99/mo — which is the argument, not that it beats a product with a team behind it.

How much does Bear Pro cost?
About $3 a month, which is $36 a year, on the plan most individuals end up on. It is what we use in our own arithmetic — the list-price figure on the front page is the sum of these, not a round number we liked.
What do you actually get in VibeBundl?
- Markdown with live preview
- Tags and full-text search
- Everything syncs to your account
What do I lose by replacing Bear Pro?
Honestly, these. If any of them is load-bearing for you, keep paying — a bundle that costs you a workflow isn't a saving.
- Offline-first native apps
- Handwriting and sketch notes
- Bear's cross-note linking and export formats
Is there an open-source alternative to Bear Pro?
Yes — Joplin. If you're happy running and updating your own server, it will take you further than our version will, and it's free. VibeBundl's argument isn't that it's more capable than Joplin; it's that it's already running, and so are 52 other tools, on one login.
What's the catch?
It's smaller. 53 tools built by one person do not match 53 funded products, and we're not going to pretend otherwise. Each one covers the job you opened the original for and stops there.
So the honest pitch isn't “cancel Bear Pro”. It's that the next time you need something like it — once, briefly — you already have it, and you don't start another subscription to find out.

Cancel any time. Keep Bear Pro if you need it.
