# Little Bear Apps

> Privacy-friendly developer tools built in Australia. MCP servers, Claude Code plugins, automation bridges, and web tools — tested in real workflows and built by one person and his dog.

Little Bear Apps is an indie dev studio. Every tool started as something I needed in my own work, ran in my workflows for months, then got released because others might find it useful too. All data stays on your machine unless explicitly stated otherwise.
