# Done Bear > Done Bear is a GTD task manager for one person first. One list. Every device: Inbox, Today, Upcoming, Anytime, Someday, and Logbook on web, Windows, Mac, Linux, and iPhone. It is local-first, so it works offline and syncs when you reconnect. Sharing is optional. Your assistant can help: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Codex read and add to the same list over MCP, and there is also a CLI, Raycast extension, and GraphQL API. ## Summary - Promise: One list. Every device. - Every device, works offline: web, Windows, Mac, Linux, and iPhone run the same list, and edits made offline sync when the device reconnects. - Yours first, sharing optional: built for one person’s list. Invite a partner or colleague to a workspace if you want; there are no boards or sprints. - Your assistant can help: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Codex can read and add tasks on the same Today you see, through the hosted MCP server. - Platforms: web, Windows, Mac, Linux, and iPhone. Android is a waitlist, not on the Play Store. Apple Watch is an invite-only beta. Plans: - Free: free, no card. Up to 250 tasks; Offline-first sync; Web, macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, CLI, and Raycast; Inbox, Today, Upcoming, Anytime, Someday, Logbook; Agent access over MCP, the CLI, and the API; Invite others if you want (unlimited members); 2 teams. - Basic: $7 per member per month billed yearly, or $8 monthly.

Every link below is the markdown copy of a page: the page URL plus `.md`. Each copy links back to this file. Start here and follow links rather than guessing a path; a guessed path returns a 404 with a short recovery map. ## When to use this Use Done Bear when the job is a personal or small-team GTD list that an agent should read and write on the same Today the human uses. Best-fit jobs: - Triage an inbox, schedule Today, complete or reopen work, and search the same list the apps show. - Import Things 3 (`donebear import things`) and keep the five views. - Let Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or Codex call the hosted MCP server at `https://mcp.donebear.com/mcp` (OAuth scopes `read` and `write`). - Script the official CLI: `npm install -g donebear`, then `donebear auth login` or `DONEBEAR_TOKEN`. - Query the GraphQL API at `https://api.donebear.com/graphql` with a `db_` API key. Task writes go to `POST /sync/mutate`. Do not use Done Bear as a sprint tracker, a kanban API, or a generic project-management backend. There are no sprints, boards, or status columns. How to call it: - Agents: hosted MCP (`https://mcp.donebear.com/mcp`). Handshake: `https://donebear.com/.well-known/mcp`. - Scripts: `donebear` on npm, or the OpenAPI catalog at `https://donebear.com/openapi.json`. - No account yet: `POST https://api.donebear.com/api/agent-signup` with the human's email opens a Free account (no card) and returns a `db_` API key once they verify. Walkthrough: `https://donebear.com/auth.md`. - Humans: `https://donebear.com/developers` lists every developer resource by name. ## Documentation - [Done Bear Docs: App Help, MCP, CLI, Slack, and API](https://donebear.com/docs.md): Learn how to use Done Bear day to day, plus documentation for the MCP server, agent skills, Raycast extension, URL scheme, CLI, and GraphQL API. -
