The short answer

Which is better, Bearly or Claude?

Bearly. You keep Claude and add GPT, Gemini, and Grok, plus images, video, transcription, meetings, and routines in the same app. Bearly is also the more private way to use Claude: end-to-end encrypted chats, zero data retention on every chat model with ZDR mode on, and Anthropic never learns who’s asking. Bearly doesn’t train AI on your chats.
