In their own words
Reflect
Reflect is a note-taking app for daily notes, linked thinking, and private AI using files you control. Reflect Open stores notes as plain Markdown in a folder you choose and maintains a rebuildable local SQLite index. Daily notes, wiki links, backlinks, and full-text search organize the collection, while optional semantic search runs on-device. Optional AI chat uses your own API key, and private notes are blocked from external AI calls. Audio memos can be transcribed through a provider key. Sync works through iCloud Drive or Git with files you own, and a Chrome extension clips web content into notes. Reflect says the app is open source; its App Store listing says there is no account, telemetry, or Reflect-hosted cloud service. It is available on web, macOS, iOS, and as a Chrome extension, with note sharing and integrations including Zapier, Readwise, Google Calendar, Outlook, Kindle, Chrome, and Safari. The annual Reflect plan starts at $10/user/mo; Reflect Open is a free download with in-app purchases available.
