Pear, a menu-bar app for Mac
Seventeen tools.
One quiet icon.
Pear keeps a whole toolbox in your menu bar. Screenshots, text grabbing, window snapping, clipboard history, disk maps, a Mac cleaner. Everything runs on your machine, and stays quiet until you reach for it.
Everything Pear can do.
Every tool is built on Apple’s own frameworks, so Pear stays fast and light instead of shipping its own half of macOS.

Private by design
Pear keeps everything
on your Mac.
- On-device, always
- Text recognition, background removal and QR scanning run on your Mac with Apple’s Vision framework. Nothing gets uploaded.
- No accounts, no telemetry
- Nothing to sign into, and nothing phones home. Pear does not collect anything about you.
- Signed and notarized
- Every build is signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple before it goes out.
- Quiet updates
- Pear updates itself over Sparkle from a signed feed, the same way plenty of trusted Mac apps do.
Pear is named after someone dear. It started as a gift, grew into a toolbox, and gets passed around the way homemade things do. Free, for friends, family, and now you.
No pricing, no roadmap. Just a little app, named after a girl.
Put Pear in your menu bar.
