Reflect is a note-taking application with second-brain features. It uses AI to enhance your notes, and backlinks to connect your thoughts, ideas and more.

An application like this helps to keep ideas, thoughts and things connected, it helps you make sense of your own brain, hence the ‘second brain’.

Reflect has all your usual note-taking features and some more. You can take snippets from the web, share your writing, integrate your calendar, and it even uses end-end encryption so your notes are always yours. This is a fan favourite for many, including Thomas McGee.
