What's New in Bebop

1.3.0

June 7, 2026

This update comes with one main new feature: Quick Append. Start a note with @ (or choose your preferred trigger in Settings) to pick an existing file. Your note will append to that file instead saving the usual way. So if you typically use a daily format like 2026-05-24.md, this lets you target other files like To read.md or Blog.md. I like keeping a note for each major project, e.g. Bebop.md. Give it a try! Other fixes and improvments in this build: - Editor now auto-continues lists - Editor line spacing is a smidge roomier, with less scroll jumping while editing long notes - Improved toolbar and bottom bar touch handling, including larger tap areas for Settings and Flashback - Fixed the markdown helper bar making the editor too wide when iOS Show Borders is enabled —Jack

User reviews

The perfect amount of interface and interaction.

Does exactly what you want as a quick notes app. Couldn’t ask for anything better. Perfectly minimal.

It's does exactly what it aims to perfectly

Simple and elegant. Just enough flexibility to fit around what your use case and simple enough where it just does what it needs to. The control panel/Lock Screen button is game changing.

Bought the upgrade to support a dev who makes some quality software. Big thank you!

Great app to do quick entry for Obsidian

Well worth the one time purchase to get additional features to enhance Obsidian integration.
