BearInApp
The simplest way to remember everything that matters.
BearInApp is a free, local-first app for keeping track of everything with an important date — medicine, documents, renewals, maintenance, and more. Private by design, available offline, and no account required.
What is BearInApp?
BearInApp is a local-first app that helps you keep track of everything with an important date. It was born from a simple problem — never find spoiled or expired medicine when you need it most — and grew into a simple system for anything with a due date: medicine, documents, renewals, maintenance, insurance, payments, and more.
Instead of managing dates alone, BearInApp connects each date to the thing it belongs to, so you always know what is due and why it matters.

BearInApp is local-first. Your items, categories, and photos are stored on your device — not on a server. There is no account, no analytics, and no tracking.
- Your data stays on your device.
- No login or account is required.

Frequently asked questions
- Is my data private?
- Yes. BearInApp is local-first: your items, categories, and photos are stored on your device, not on a server. There is no account, no analytics, and no tracking.
- Do I need an account?
- No. BearInApp does not require an account or a login, and there is no server-side database of your information.
- Does it work offline?
- Yes. Because your data is stored locally, BearInApp keeps working without a connection. Only optional online features, such as barcode lookups and advertising, need the internet.
- Which platforms are supported?
- BearInApp runs in modern browsers on iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux, and can be installed to your home screen as a Progressive Web App.
- Is it free?
- Yes. BearInApp is free and may show a single contextual advertisement in a bottom banner. There are no popups, interstitials, or rewarded ads, and none of your data is shared with the advertising system.
- How do I back up my data?
- Open Settings and choose Backup to download a single file containing all of your data, including photos. Restoring replaces your current data, and a safety backup is created first.
- What happens if I clear my browser data?
- Your data lives in your browser, so clearing site data or uninstalling removes it. Keep a backup somewhere safe so you can restore it later.
