Field	Details
Name	Reflect
Overview	Reflect helps capture and organize thoughts, ideas, meetings and agendas through linked notes, search and AI-assisted writing. Its current homepage distinguishes Reflect Open, a local-first Markdown app, from Reflect Classic, which the provider says is still maintained. Classic previously advertised calendar integration, end-to-end encryption and hosted synchronization; those claims should not be transferred unchanged to Open. Open stores notes in a chosen folder, supports iCloud Drive or Git synchronization, and sends optional AI requests directly to a user-selected provider using the user’s own API key. AI charges and provider privacy terms are separate.
Key features & benefits	Note-taking with daily notes, backlinks and local Markdown files in Reflect Open. Calendar and meeting capture were part of the earlier Classic offering; confirm the required integration in the edition you use. Open stores local files and excludes notes marked private from AI access; this is different from Classic’s advertised end-to-end-encrypted hosted system. Open synchronization through configured iCloud Drive or Git, rather than a blanket automatic-sync guarantee. Search, indexing and linked-note navigation; AI answers still require source checking.
Use cases and applications	Organizing and clarifying thoughts and ideas Tracking meetings, agendas, and action items Preparing notes to share with colleagues, after checking the selected edition and permissions
Who uses?	Students Professionals Busy individuals People who need to organize and share notes Users prioritizing privacy and security
Pricing	Reflect Open: free on Mac; iPhone/iPad access uses a paid subscription with local App Store pricing. Optional AI requires a separate provider API key and usage charges. Earlier Classic offer: $10/month billed annually and a 14-day trial appeared in earlier official material. The current homepage says Classic remains maintained, but that earlier offer is not the price of Open or a verified new Classic checkout. Paid Classic subscribers can claim one year of the iPhone/iPad app; claiming does not cancel the Classic subscription.

App available?	Yes. Reflect Open has a Mac app and an official iPhone/iPad App Store listing, plus a Chrome capture extension. The repository labels Windows/Linux builds experimental; availability depends on successful release builds. Classic has a separate login. Do not interpret the mobile store’s free download label as unrestricted free subscription access.

Before switching editions, export or back up notes and test an import copy. Check sync and AI-provider settings before adding sensitive material. Sources: current Open and Classic distinction, official repository and platform scope and iPhone/iPad listing.

Image context: The existing Reflect homepage screenshot shows earlier branding, a free-trial invitation and a dated public demonstration note. Its capture date is unknown. It is historical product context, not a current Open pricing display or private account data. Source: provider homepage.
