Reflect Notes - Think Better 4+

I’ve been using Reflect for over six months now and I love it. I tried it because of the AI features, very hesitant about their journal approach, but I was surprised at how natural it felt to adopt to it. I was also surprised when they introduced tasks and it turns out that it is so easy and comfortable to be able to create a task right there are you are writing a note. Now I hope the Reflect team expands on the tasks functionality, like allowing recurrent tasks and notifications.

On the con side, I wish that they added some color to our notes. I think Bear has found the right balance of a beautiful design that doesn’t overcomplicate things and it’s be cool if Reflect stole a trick or two from them.

I’ve been using Reflect for about a year, coming from other tools in the space (Evernote for a few years, Roam for longer.) The simplicity of the app has always been a point of fascination for me. It is simple and, by far the fastest capturing experience I’ve had to date. Then, the first time you define a set of notes to chat with. There’s all the power I could ever need in a notes app.

Lastly, the small profitable company has a long stated goal to be around for the long term. s someone who loathes switching any app, let alone my note taking app. I’m very happy about this.

After +10 years using Evernote I have been looking for a more evolved notes app. To me that means fast/easy back links, flexible AI tools, and better calendar sync. I started using the desktop version of Reflect about 4 months ago and love it so I was glad to see the mobile app released. Reflect also has basic but useful task management features and bonus, can transcribe live meetings.

So far I’ve also been impressed with the frequency of updates, support content they post on YT, and their communication.

For context, I also tried a bunch of other tools and focused mostly on Mem and Obsidian. But Mem removed some key tasks functions, calendar sync didn’t work, and no transcription option was available, and Obsidian was just too much work assemble all the same functionality Reflect offers out of the box.

Overall, I’ve been super happy with Reflect!
