Revenue Bear is an iPhone app that combines sales from Stripe, Paddle, App Store Connect, Gumroad, Lemon Squeezy and Polar into one live feed and one set of totals: today, this week, month, year and all-time, plus combined MRR from active subscriptions. It connects with read-only credentials stored in the iOS Keychain and calls each platform directly from your phone, with no Revenue Bear server.
Why indie revenue ends up scattered
| Platform | Typically used for |
|---|---|
| App Store Connect | iOS and Mac App Store sales and subscriptions |
| Stripe | Web apps, SaaS subscriptions, custom checkouts |
| Paddle, Lemon Squeezy, Polar | Direct software sales with tax handled for you |
| Gumroad | Digital products, templates, courses |
Each is sensible alone. Together they mean no single place answers "what did I make this month?". Spreadsheets work until the week you forget to update them.
What Revenue Bear shows
- A live feed. Sales, new subscriptions, renewals, upgrades and refunds from every source in time order, each with a source badge.
- Revenue totals for today, week, month, year and all-time.
- Combined MRR from active subscriptions across platforms.
- Per-source breakdown, so you can see which platform is carrying the month.
- Per-product history. Tap a product to see how it has sold.
- A morning recap of what happened overnight.
- Widgets for the Home Screen, Lock Screen and StandBy.
- Cached data, so the numbers are there without signal.
The motivational side
Most founders do not open a revenue app for analysis. They open it to see whether anything happened. Revenue Bear leans into that: a monthly goal ring to close, milestones such as first sale and first $1k month, sales streaks with freezes for quiet days, and a bear that grows from Cub to Polar Bear as combined MRR rises. Notifications for new sales are optional and under your control.
Connecting your platforms
- Create a read-only or restricted API key on each platform you use. Most have a setting for this.
- Paste it into Revenue Bear. It is saved in the iOS Keychain.
- The app fetches your history and keeps the feed up to date.
Revenue Bear has no server. The app calls each platform's official API directly from your iPhone using read-only credentials you enter, which are stored in the iOS Keychain. There are no analytics or tracking SDKs. Details are in the privacy policy.
Compared with the alternatives
| Checking each dashboard | Spreadsheet | Revenue Bear | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Combined total | In your head | Yes, when updated | Yes |
| Effort | Several logins a day | Manual entry | Set up once |
| Live | Yes, per platform | No | Yes, as platforms report |
| Custom analysis | Limited | Anything you can build | Fixed views |
| On your phone | Awkward | Awkward | Built for it |
If you need cohort analysis, churn modelling or tax reports, use a dedicated analytics or accounting product. Revenue Bear answers the daily question.
A weekly habit to go with it
A glance each morning tells you whether something happened. A fifteen-minute look once a week tells you why. See how to run a weekly revenue review, with a free review template.
What it does not do
- Not accounting software. It shows sales and subscriptions as the platforms report them. It does not handle tax, fees reconciliation or bookkeeping.
- Read-only. It cannot issue refunds or change anything on your platforms.
- iPhone only.
- Six sources: Stripe, Paddle, App Store Connect, Gumroad, Lemon Squeezy and Polar. Other platforms are not supported.
- Figures depend on each platform's API. App Store Connect sales data in particular arrives with a delay.
Price
Revenue Bear is an iPhone app for iOS 17 and later. The App Store shows the current price. A demo mode lets you look around without connecting any account.
