Purpose built
Each application is designed around a clearly defined task instead of accumulating unrelated features.
About BearTalk
Independent software, built around practical tasks.
BearTalk is an independent UK software publisher creating focused Windows applications for privacy, productivity, process capture and training.
A focused independent publisher
Software should solve the problem without becoming another problem.
BearTalk develops practical Windows applications around clearly defined tasks. The aim is not to build oversized software suites, but to create focused tools that are understandable before installation and straightforward to use when the task matters.
Current products cover permanent PDF redaction, screenshot and image privacy, and workflow capture with procedure and training creation. Each product is presented separately so users can choose the application suited to the job they actually need to complete.
Product information, privacy guidance and support are provided directly through BearTalk. Where a workflow supports local processing, keeping work on the user's Windows device is prioritised.
