Official sources reviewed 26 October 2026: Bear product overview. These are published descriptions, not account-level tests. Confirm current plans, exports and availability before choosing.
The verdict
Consider Bear for an Apple-focused writing and note workflow. Evaluate tentus if you want to test Lumi-assisted recall, and confirm platform access, capture limits and export rather than assuming parity across devices.
What to check before you choose
- Try one real task with the same notes and meeting history in both tools.
- Inspect the source behind each answer and how missing facts are shown.
- Check capture limits, export, plan requirements, and connection availability for your account.
