Bebop helps you get down your ideas, fast. It assumes that review and organization are better done on larger screens—that a mobile text editor should be lightning-fast, clutter-free, and capture-first. • No ads, no logins, no tracking: Files are synced natively to your chosen iCloud Drive or Dropbox folder • BYOMA (Bring Your Own MacOS App): Open plain-text formats like .txt and .md/markdown plug neatly into Obsidian • Custom headers, footers, and filename formats: To work with your workflow • Flashback notes: Cycle through recent notes with a single tap • Share extension: Quickly save links and text from other iOS apps • Widgets and shortcut: Launch Bebop in any number of ways • Unlimited notes (even for free users) For a one-time Pro upgrade (no subscriptions!) you’ll also get color themes, custom templating, power-user settings, and help support future development. --- Bebop is made by Jack Cheng, an author and solo developer in Detroit, Michigan.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bebop at 95% against Today's 50%. Bebop also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (46 vs 2). Today's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Bebop holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bebop has 46 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
