The Done Bear founding offer

What do I get?

The founding grant is the Basic plan, free for as long as your workspace exists. Basic is the tier above Free, so the grant covers:

• Unlimited active tasks, with no 250-task ceiling
• Up to 5 teams inside your workspace
• Unlimited active projects
• Priority email support
• Everything on the Free plan: web, macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, the CLI, Raycast, the API, and the hosted MCP server

It is the Basic tier and not Business, by choice. Business adds unlimited teams, centralised billing, and migration help, and it stays a paid plan for everyone.

Who qualifies?

Anyone who creates a Done Bear account before 30 September 2026 at 23:59 AEST, which is UTC+10. That includes every account made before this page went up. Done Bear launches during the week of 22 September 2026, so most people will arrive in the last full week of the window, but signing up earlier qualifies exactly the same way.

There is no invite list, no code, and no card. The timestamp on your signup is the only thing that decides whether you qualify. Claiming the grant happens afterwards, and there is no deadline on that part.

How do I claim it?

Two steps, both inside the product:

• Activate the workspace. Either run donebear import things to bring an existing list across, or create 20 tasks by hand. Either one counts.
• Answer one question: what happened the week you signed up? A sentence is enough.

The grant applies to your workspace once both are done. Until then the account sits on the Free plan, which is a working plan rather than a trial: 250 tasks, 2 teams, unlimited members, and no expiry.

Why ask about my week?

Because a task manager is judged on ordinary weeks, and Done Bear does not have any yet to learn from. The answers say what people brought to it on day one: a move, a launch, a backlog nobody had opened in months, a new job, a bad week.

That is the whole reason for the question. The answers are not published, not attached to your name anywhere public, and not a condition you can fail. Any honest sentence claims the grant.

How many people does it cover?

Up to 3 members of that workspace, at no cost, for as long as the workspace exists. The 4th member onward bills at the ordinary Basic rate, $7 per member per month billed yearly.

The three free seats stay free when you add a fourth. You pay for members four and up, not for the whole workspace. Drop back to three and there is nothing to pay again.

Which workspace does it apply to?

One: the workspace that exists at the moment you claim. If you belong to several, the grant lands on the one you claimed in, and your billing settings name it.

Creating a second workspace later does not extend the grant to it. A second workspace is priced the same as anyone else's.

What would end the grant?

Two things, both of them in your hands:

• Deleting the workspace. The grant is attached to that workspace, so deleting it ends the grant, and a replacement workspace does not restore it.
• Transferring it. The grant is not transferable, by sale, by merge, or by handing the account to someone else. Changing the owner between people who already work in that workspace is fine.

Nothing else ends it. Not a price rise, not a plan rename, not a change of ownership at the Done Bear end. If Basic is renamed or restructured, your workspace keeps whatever the equivalent of today's Basic is.

What is not included?

The grant covers the Basic plan as it stands on 30 September 2026, plus every improvement made to it after that. New views, new platforms, new sync work, and new integrations land in Basic and are included.

It does not automatically cover something Done Bear sells separately later. The test is whether the thing is sold on its own to everyone, not whether it is new. If a separately priced product ships, it is priced on its own and this page will say so.

What happens on 1 October?

The window closes and the offer is over. Accounts created on or after 1 October 2026 start on the Free plan and pay the published price to go beyond it. There will be no second round and no quiet extension.

People who signed up in September keep their grant whatever Done Bear charges later. A future price rise moves the price for new workspaces, not for yours.

Is this promise binding?

Yes. This page is an offer made by MATTHEW & RONI BLODE PTY LTD, and the consumer guarantees under Australian Consumer Law sit alongside it and cannot be excluded by anything written here.

Free forever means your workspace is never billed for Basic, for as long as that workspace exists. The boundaries above are the whole of the fine print. Corrections and clarifications to this page will be dated, and it will not be rewritten to narrow the promise after the window closes.

Where do I ask about this?

Email [email protected]. If a line here is unclear, or reads two ways, say so and the wording gets fixed rather than relied on.
