Reflect

What Reflect helps you do

Reflect’s current app stores notes in local files with iCloud Drive or Git sync choices and optional AI. It suits personal knowledge work where you want linked notes and an explicit provider choice.

Best for: Local notes with optional bring-your-own-key AI.

A small task to try

1. Create three fictional connected project notes
2. Keep one note marked private before enabling AI access
3. Connect an eligible provider key only if you want AI features
4. Ask for a summary and verify that excluded notes are not used

Illustrative input: Summarise the two allowed project notes; do not use the private personal note.

Illustrative expected result: A summary of permitted material with links back to those notes, not a claim of universal confidentiality. This is an editorial example, not a recorded vendor test. Check it against your original material before using it.

Access and buying guidance

The current Mac app is free; iPhone and iPad require a paid subscription at local App Store prices. Optional AI requires your own API key and separate provider payment.

AI provider usage is billed separately from the app. Start with the smallest useful task; keep the original input and compare the result before committing to a larger workflow.

Alternatives for a different workflow

Mem: compare a hosted notes workspace. Notion AI: use AI alongside team documents.
