Can I still access my notes after cancelling Bear Pro?

Yes. All your notes remain fully accessible for reading and editing after Bear Pro expires. You only lose Pro features like iCloud sync across devices, themes, advanced export formats, and note encryption.

Will I lose iCloud sync immediately after cancelling?

No. Pro features including iCloud sync remain active until the end of your current billing period. After expiry, each device retains its own local copy of notes, but they will no longer sync across devices.

Can I get a refund for Bear Pro?

Bear's developers cannot process refunds directly since all transactions are handled by Apple. You must request a refund through Apple App Store support at reportaproblem.apple.com.

Can I reactivate Bear Pro after cancelling?

Yes. You can resubscribe at any time through the App Store. Go to the Bear Pro tab in Bear's preferences (Mac) or find Bear in the App Store (iOS) and subscribe again.

Should I export my notes before cancelling?

Yes, it is strongly recommended. Bulk export (PDF, DOCX, HTML, etc.) is a Pro feature. Once your subscription expires you lose access to bulk export, so export all your notes in your desired format before cancellation takes effect.

Does cancelling Bear Pro affect all my devices?

Yes. One Bear Pro subscription covers all devices on the same Apple ID, and cancelling removes Pro features from all of them once the billing period ends.
