Bearing Group builds focused products around problems that are easy to recognize but poorly served by broad, complicated software.
These products are at different stages. They are presented here as honest statements of intent, not as a portfolio inflated beyond its maturity.
A practical operating system for volunteer-led boards and community associations.
Board work is often scattered across email, shared drives, informal memory, disconnected forms, and a small number of people who know how everything works.
Boardmark is being designed as a clearer way to manage requests, responsibilities, decisions, records, and the recurring work that keeps an organization functioning.
A thoughtful system for hobbies, interests, and personal projects—without turning leisure into another productivity contest.
People accumulate interests faster than they can actively pursue them, while ordinary task tools rarely distinguish between active, maintained, paused, and deeply valued interests.
Off Hours is built around the idea that leisure deserves enough structure to remain visible and meaningful, without becoming another form of work.
A more human approach to personal relationship management, centered on context, memory, and meaningful connection.
Traditional CRMs treat relationships as transactions, while personal note apps provide little structure for staying thoughtfully connected.
Storyline explores a space between sales-oriented CRMs and unstructured notes: remembering context and meaningful touchpoints without turning people into a pipeline.
These products begin with real, recurring problems. They favor understandable workflows over feature abundance, respect the user’s time, and avoid turning ordinary users into system administrators.
Get in touch if one of these products speaks to a problem you know well, or if you would like to talk about a related idea.
