About Rival Bear

Rival Bear is a small, independent software studio based in California. We make a few apps we always wished existed, then keep working until they feel careful, honest, and ready for daily life.

Right now that means Yonder, a GPS-driven travel guide that narrates the world as you move through it, and Twiggybank, a family allowance tracker that helps kids practice spending, giving, saving, and goals without moving real money.

The through line is simple: small tools with personality, clear rules, and no dark patterns. We like software that feels handmade without feeling fragile.

The name started with a treasure hunt in the Rockies. You can read the preserved archive in The Chase.
