# Formbear documentation > Formbear is a design-led, EU-hosted form and survey builder. Unlimited forms and responses on a genuinely free plan, GDPR-compliant, with data that never leaves Europe. Every page is also available as markdown by appending .md to its URL, and as one file at https://formbear.app/llms-full.txt. ## Getting started What Formbear is, and how to ship your first form. - [Introduction](https://formbear.app/docs/introduction.md): Formbear is a design-led, EU-hosted form and survey builder with an unlimited free tier and a €24/mo Pro plan. - [Quickstart](https://formbear.app/docs/quickstart.md): Create, customize, and publish your first Formbear form in a few minutes. - [Your home page](https://formbear.app/docs/home.md): Where the app opens: your recent forms, what needs your attention, and the assistant that follows you through the app. - [Core concepts](https://formbear.app/docs/core-concepts.md): Blocks, stable field ids, draft vs published schema, and workspaces: the ideas the rest of the docs build on. ## Building forms The editor, the question types, and multi-page layouts. - [The editor](https://formbear.app/docs/the-editor.md): A document-style, keyboard-first builder: slash commands, drag-to-reorder, and contextual controls on the selected block. - [Generate forms with AI](https://formbear.app/docs/ai-form-generation.md): Describe a form in plain language and get a ready draft: from the assistant, from a blank New form, or inside the editor. - [Question types](https://formbear.app/docs/question-types.md): Every field type Formbear offers, from short text to ratings and file upload. - [File uploads](https://formbear.app/docs/file-uploads.md): Collect attachments from respondents: allowed types, size limits, and how files are stored and previewed. - [Pages and layout](https://formbear.app/docs/pages-and-layout.md): Split a long form across pages, and choose how the hosted form presents them. ## Design & customization Themes, the design panel, custom CSS, and branding. - [Themes](https://formbear.app/docs/themes.md): Shape color, typography, and layout in the Customize panel, then save it as a reusable workspace theme. - [Custom CSS](https://formbear.app/docs/custom-css.md): Style the hosted form with your own CSS against a stable set of formbear-* class hooks and design tokens (Pro). - [Branding](https://formbear.app/docs/branding.md): Add a cover image and favicon, and remove the Formbear badge on Pro. ## Sharing & collecting Publishing, embedding, custom domains, and spam protection. - [Publishing](https://formbear.app/docs/publishing.md): How publishing freezes a snapshot, and why your edits never disturb a live form. - [Embedding](https://formbear.app/docs/embedding.md): Embed a Formbear form on any website; the same renderer powers the embed and the hosted page. - [Hidden fields & URL prefill](https://formbear.app/docs/hidden-fields.md): Capture UTM parameters from the form link invisibly, and prefill visible fields for known respondents. - [Custom domains](https://formbear.app/docs/custom-domains.md): Serve forms from your own domain instead of the Formbear hosted URL (Pro). - [Spam protection & limits](https://formbear.app/docs/spam-and-limits.md): Honeypot, rate limiting, closing forms, and per-form retention: how public submissions stay clean. ## Responses & analytics Reading responses, per-question summaries, and privacy-first traffic analytics. - [Responses](https://formbear.app/docs/responses.md): The response table, single-response view, CSV export, and partial submissions. - [Results summary](https://formbear.app/docs/results-summary.md): Per-question aggregates computed from your responses on the server: buckets, distributions, and averages. - [AI response analysis](https://formbear.app/docs/ai-response-analysis.md): An AI summary that reads your responses and surfaces the standout findings, processed in the EU. - [Traffic analytics](https://formbear.app/docs/analytics.md): Cookieless, fully anonymous view tracking for your forms, hosted in the EU. - [MCP connector](https://formbear.app/docs/mcp-connector.md): Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client to your workspace: read forms, responses, and analytics on every plan; build, edit, and manage forms on Pro. - [REST API](https://formbear.app/docs/rest-api.md): The MCP tools over plain HTTP: one POST per tool, an OpenAPI 3.1 description, JSON errors, and the same credentials as the connector. ## Workspace & account Members and roles, plans and billing, and revision history. - [Members & roles](https://formbear.app/docs/members-and-roles.md): Invite your whole team with no per-seat pricing; owner, admin, and editor roles. - [Plans & billing](https://formbear.app/docs/plans-and-billing.md): The unlimited Free plan, Pro at €24/mo or €240/yr, and self-service billing. - [AI assistant and actions](https://formbear.app/docs/ai-assistant.md): How the AI assistant is metered in monthly actions, what counts as one, and where your data goes. - [Revision history](https://formbear.app/docs/revision-history.md): Roll a form back to any version from the last 30 days (Pro). ## Privacy & security EU data residency, encryption, and GDPR. - [Data residency](https://formbear.app/docs/data-residency.md): Where your data lives: EU-owned infrastructure in Germany, never routed through US servers. - [Security](https://formbear.app/docs/security.md): Encryption in transit and at rest, and how response answers are protected. - [GDPR & your data](https://formbear.app/docs/gdpr.md): GDPR compliance, the Data Processing Agreement, and exporting or deleting your data.
