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.

Notch Reminders
Read full descriptionHide full description
Notch is a calm home for the reminders you already have. It works directly with the Reminders app, so your lists, your iCloud sync, Siri and your Apple Watch all keep working exactly as before. There is no new account and no second database: Notch simply shows your tasks more clearly. ONE CLEAN LINE PER TASK Each task sits on warm paper with its date and a single Complete button beneath it. Long links, email references and pasted URLs become small, readable link marks instead of a wall of characters. Tap a task for its details; press and hold for everything else. WRITE IT THE WAY YOU'D SAY IT "Send the outline tomorrow at 2pm." "Call the dentist next Tuesday." "Check the oven in 20 minutes." Notch reads the date, the time, the priority (!high) and the list (#Work) out of what you type, and leaves the title clean. EVERYTHING WITHIN REACH Search and the task field float over your list, so the next task is always one thumb away. Today, Upcoming, All and Completed are a tap apart. On iPad, your lists and tasks sit side by side. NOTIFICATIONS THAT OPEN NOTCH Notch delivers its own alerts for due tasks, so tapping one brings you straight to the task. MADE TO BE LOOKED AT ALL DAY Paper or bright ground, light or dark, eight muted accents and four text sizes that follow your system's Dynamic Type, with serif headings and fine rules. Home Screen widgets in three sizes let you check tasks off without opening the app. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything is parsed on your device. Notch makes no network requests, collects no data and needs no account. Your tasks stay in your own iCloud Reminders. Free on iPhone and iPad.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Notch Reminders at weekly against Bebop's every 3 weeks. Notch Reminders also leads on device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
