TL;DR: From August 31 to September 10, Bear Pro’s yearly subscription is 30% off for everyone, not just students. Subscribe with our discount links (at the end of this post) to unlock sync across all your devices, export to PDF, JPG, and Word, note encryption, and a handful of other Pro features that make Bear even better for whatever you’re learning.
Back to school, for the student in all of us
Back to school season was never really about the building. If you’re still curious about something, you’re still a student. Maybe you’re finally taking that certification you’ve been putting off. Maybe you’re three videos into teaching yourself woodworking, or journaling your way through a hard year, or actually still in school, syllabus and all.
Bear is a good place to catch that kind of thinking. Work through the formulas for a certification exam with MathJax, so the notation looks as clean as it does in a textbook. Sketch a quick flowchart to make sense of a psychology reading with Mermaid. Switch between the different parts of your life with Workspaces, so you’re only looking at what matters right now. We love hearing about all the different ways people use Bear to learn, so this season, our back to school discount isn’t just for students. It’s for anyone who still thinks of themselves as one.
What’s in Bear Pro?
Here’s a quick look at what a Bear Pro subscription unlocks:
☁️ Private iCloud sync. The idea you had on your phone is already waiting, organized, on your Mac.
📃 Export to more formats. Turn any note into a PDF, JPEG, or Word doc the moment you need to hand something in or share it.
🔒 Note encryption and Bear Lock. Keep your more personal entries private, because a lot of real learning happens in pages you’d rather no one else read.
🎨 Over 20 themes and custom icons. Find the perfect cozy space to write in, and make Bear look like yours.
🔍 Search inside attachments. Handy for finding text hiding inside your PDFs, scanned readings, and photos.
🌍 Bear for web (coming soon). Reach your notes from any browser, wherever you’re working.
Subscribing to Bear Pro unlocks all of this, and every subscription goes straight toward keeping Bear an independent, ad free app we can keep building on for years to come.
Great timing for AI and beyond
Bear has been Markdown at heart since day one, which happens to be the format AI tools read and write most naturally. If you’ve been leaning on AI to summarize a reading, quiz yourself before an exam, or think through a tricky problem, plain, well structured Markdown moves easily in and out of that process, and your Bear notes were built for exactly that.
