Can I stop paying for Bear Pro?
Short answer: probably, if you use the core of it. Markdown notes with tags and full-text search. It's in VibeBundl along with 52 other tools for $19.99/mo. The long answer — including what you'd actually give up — is below, and we haven't softened it.

How much does Bear Pro cost?
About $3 a month, which is $36 a year, on the plan most individuals end up on. That figure is what we use in our own arithmetic — the savings number 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?
These are focused tools, not clones. Each one covers the job you actually opened the original for, and stops there — that's how 53 of them fit behind one $19.99 subscription. Read the list above before you cancel anything.
