Reflect

Cooking something for @reflectnotes

@soy_andrey Yup! Check the shipped channel in Discord.

@reflectnotes 👋 Hey @reflectnotes — I’ve really enjoyed using Reflect, but I’ve noticed there haven’t been any updates or new releases in a while. Is the project still actively maintained? Would love to hear what’s going on behind the scenes!

Google Cloud has a big outage right now. Reflect relies on Google Cloud extensively, especially Firebase, and as such we are also down. You can track the status of this issue on the Google Cloud status page. We do apologize about this! status.cloud.google.com

@kixxauth @TylerCushing We do have an iPad app. Check out reflect.app/downloads

@TylerCushing @reflectnotes I need an iPad app, and @reflectnotes currently does not have one. I do most of my reading after hours on an iPad.

I'm getting back on the note taking wagon with @reflectnotes and getting super into it. I tried note taking apps a few years ago, and they weren't quite there yet ... at least, not enough to get me to switch away from my text editor. But, Reflect is super powerful, and very low friction. Nice job by @maccaw and the team

@pradeepb28 Can you try in chrome, please?

@reflectnotes website is unresponsive, have refreshed dozen times, reset cookies too :(

You can download the iPad app from Testflight and take it for a spin here: testflight.apple.com/join/ERcDXcPQ

Good news for our iPad users: you’ll notice the app is now much faster! Last week we announced a move to SQLite across our iPhone and desktop apps, and today we’ve brought that same update to iPad. Take it for a spin!

Here's three state-of-the-art features of @reflectnotes that you might not know about. 1. Semantic search. Search for 'bulb' and we'll return notes containing lamp.

We've published a more technical explanation of this re-write in this blog post. reflect.app/blog/sqlite-re…

Today we have a major update that has made Reflect a lot faster 🏃‍♂️ Over the past year, a lot of our time has gone into rewriting the entire frontend codebase to be powered by SQLite. We quietly launched this across iOS, web, and macOS desktop over the last two weeks. In short you should see much faster load times, and we should handle massive note collections without issue (no more reloading issues on mobile!). Also included in this release: – Claude 3.7 Sonnet support for our AI assistant – An in-line PDF preview that lets you view PDFs within the macOS app – Persistent search results. 📱App rewrite in SQLite We’ve completed a full rewrite of the database layer powering our apps. With this update we're moving to a new database technology called SQLite, which should boost performance, reliability, and increase storage capacity. You will experience noticeable improvements in app stability and responsiveness. For example, when you open Reflect on iOS it should now load almost instantly. If you have used our iOS app before in the past and got frustrated from constant reloading issues, give the app another whirl again. This update should resolve all of that! This rewrite was a massive undertaking and we are incredibly pleased with the result. We'll link to a technical write-up in the comments for anyone curious. ✨ Claude 3.7 Sonnet Added to AI Features Anthropic recently released Claude 3.7 Sonnet and it made quite the splash. The new model is significantly better at following instructions and general reasoning, making it an even better note-taking assistant. We’ve added this new model to Reflect’s AI assistant. If you have the model set to Default or Anthropic, you’re now using Claude 3.7 Sonnet in Reflect! Give it a try by highlighting some text and selecting the ✨ icon or using the cmd j shortcut. 📑 PDF Preview in Mac Reflect’s Mac app now lets you preview PDF files you have attached in your notes. From this preview you can download, print and copy the text to use as needed. 🔎 Persistent Search Results When you use Reflect’s Advanced Search, the results will now persist if you close the search and come back to it. If you’d like to clear the results, just click the “Reset” button.

@JoshDance @dvpme @NotionHQ I think you might have a really old account with us, more than two years old. Can email us at support@ and we'll have you up and running.

@dvpme @NotionHQ @reflectnotes It's stuck on preparing your notes. Progress bar isn't moving. Is that normal @reflectnotes ?

Sad to say it but @NotionHQ is falling down the Evernote slope. Getting slower and slower. I have a lot of long notes and the mobile app literally chokes on them and I can’t edit them. I don’t want 1 million features. I want super fast and solid note taking. Anyone switched to a notion alternative they loved?

In-line transcriptions work on our macOS and browser apps. Using the original voice transcriber microphone next to the search box (or the + button on the mobile apps) will still have the voice note land in your daily note.

🎙️ We’ve added an in-line voice transcriber to Reflect. It lets you transcribe text in real-time, anywhere in your notes. Hit the Option key twice (or press Option + Space) to toggle the transcriber on and off. On Windows, use Alt instead of Option.

@Austen I have to say @reflectnotes by @maccaw is the best simple daily notes/tasks experience I ever used Everything else feels like way too much

@210m The chat results are sent to Gemini (which we display as a message when you open the chat) so if you want to avoid that best to not use that feature yet.

@reflectnotes So if I 'Chat with Notes' does Reflect send those notes to Google & subsequently Gemini uses those notes to further build their LLM model? Isn't this a privacy risk? Serious question and why I have not used the AI features much yet.

We just switched our "Chat with Notes" feature to use Google's Gemini which has a much larger context window.

Note-taking is deceptively cutting edge. To build @reflectnotes, we've had to figure out our own end-to-end encryption, real-time sync, WYSIWYG editor, conflict resolution, offline, real-time audio transcription, client-side embedding and search, and a whole ton more. If you find playing around with the cutting edge of what is possible on the web today exciting, and you are an experienced full-stack engineer, then consider applying (DM me your GitHub).

@basche42 Nothing in the immediate future on mobile, sorry!

@reflectnotes any plans for inline voice entry on mobile ? Not a voice note, but inline in a normal block

A little tip for you Reflect users out there: Reflect's AI is remarkably good at making a year in review. Just search for all your daily notes in the last year, then chat with them. Ask for a synopsis of the themes.

okay so trying out a new note taking app (moving away from pen and paper bc it was getting too much) so far really liking @reflectnotes why? -its a perfect mix of apple notes/reminders in one app -it also lets you do voice notes -there is a place to write random notes too
