About Reflect
Reflect is a note taking app built around daily notes, backlinks and local Markdown files. Its current release, Reflect Open, is open source, with the code on GitHub, and keeps notes in a folder the user chooses. Notes sync through iCloud Drive or Git, and the app runs on Mac, iPhone and iPad.
Notes are linked to each other with backlinks to form a graph of ideas, and each day starts with a daily note. Users can save web clips and record audio memos, and the Chrome extension on Mac captures links, text and screenshots along with the source link. Notes marked private are excluded from AI access.
AI features are optional. Users connect their own API key, and requests go directly to their provider. The assistant answers questions with links back to the source notes, summarizes text, lists key takeaways and action items from meeting notes, fixes grammar and spelling, improves writing, saves custom prompts, and can transcribe voice notes through the user's chosen transcription provider. Reflect Classic remains available to existing users through a separate login.
The Mac app is free and needs no subscription. The iPhone and iPad app is a paid subscription, with local pricing shown on the App Store. AI usage is billed separately by the user's provider.
