About

bEdit was created by me. I created bEdit firstly because it was a fun project to work on. :-)

Secondly though, I love plaintext and I use it every day. Plaintext is universal and works on every computer system. Plaintext is versatile and can be used for many purposes from scripting to web development to writing. Plaintext is lightweight and small in size. Plaintext is human readable. Plaintext is distraction free because you just have the text to concentrate on. Plaintext is best!

Lastly bEdit can be used on any computer without having to install anything and with a consistent user interface.

I hope you find bEdit useful. If you want to support bEdit.org buy me a coffee.
