See how your
Bear notes connect.

Click any screenshot to take a closer look. All notes shown are sample data. Views and exports require BearGraph Pro.

Browse your library for free

Show links between notes, group them by tag, or see both together. Use Highlights to pick out a topic, search for a note, and check your library’s stats. There’s no note limit.

Save and share with Pro

Save views you want to come back to. Export a PNG for a document or presentation, or save an interactive HTML graph that opens in a browser offline.

BearGraph Pro is a one-time in-app purchase: US$1.99. No subscription. Your local price appears in the app before you buy.

Your notes stay on your Mac

BearGraph reads your library without changing it. There’s no BearGraph account to create, and the app doesn’t upload your notes to a server. You can try it with a sample graph before giving it access to Bear.

What you’ll need

An Apple Silicon Mac running macOS 14 or later, with Bear installed to connect your library. You can use the sample graphs without Bear.

BearGraph is an independent companion app. Bear is a separate application.
