Bebop vs Stillwater Focus

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.

Still Water helps you put down your phone, and keep it down. Pick the apps that pull you in, choose how long, and Still Water blocks them. No snooze button, no “five more minutes.” When the timer ends, they unlock on their own. FOCUS SESSIONS • Block any apps for 15 minutes up to a full day • Run more than one session at a time • A live countdown on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island WEEKLY SCHEDULES • Block apps at set times: mornings, work hours, bedtime • Pick the days, then repeat for 1 to 8 weeks • Once you commit, it can’t be paused or deleted until it ends INSIGHTS • Time focused today, yesterday and this week • See when you focus most, hour by hour PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. Your app choices and history stay on your iPhone. Still Water uses Apple’s Screen Time framework. You’ll be asked to allow Screen Time access the first time you open the app.
