Think first. Code right.
A focused macOS tool for turning specs into software—with Claude Code built in.

Turn markdown specs into software. Built for minimalist AI-first developers.
THE CHALLENGE
Code is fast. Clarity is rare.
AI generates code in seconds. But many struggle to define what to build and why.
BearClaude is built for that upstream work. The specs, the reasoning, the structure. So implementation becomes effortless.
