The Done Bear founding offer
Last updated · Matthew Blode
The founding window closed on 30 September 2026. Workspaces created before then keep everything on this page.
Sign up for Done Bear before 30 September 2026 and you keep the Basic plan free forever on your first workspace: unlimited tasks for you, with room for up to two more people and up to five teams if you ever share. There is nothing to claim. The grant is applied to your first workspace when you sign up.
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. A personal email is enough; we do not require a work address. Signing up earlier in the window qualifies exactly the same way as signing up on the 29th.
There is no invite list, no code, and no card. The timestamp on your signup is the only thing that decides whether you qualify, and nothing is asked of you afterwards.
Do I have to claim it?
No. Signing up is the whole of it: your first workspace is granted the moment it is created, and your billing settings name the grant and the date it was made.
If you already have an account, the grant is on it. There is no code to enter and no step to complete after signing up.
How many people does it cover?
You can use the grant alone. Sharing is optional.
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: your first. If you belong to several, the grant lands on the earliest workspace you own, 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 hello@donebear.com. If a line here is unclear, or reads two ways, say so and the wording gets fixed rather than relied on.
