Architecture & Integration Notes
- File format: Plain Markdown — notes are human-readable and portable without Reflect installed.
- Sync backends: iCloud Drive (default) and Git. Git sync enables version history, branching workflows, and integration with existing developer toolchains.
- AI integration: Reflect does not bundle a hosted AI service. You bring your own API key from your chosen provider. Provider API charges are billed directly by the provider and are separate from any Reflect subscription.
- Chrome extension: Clips web content directly into the note graph, preserving backlink relationships.
- Open source: MIT-licensed repository with 1,576 GitHub stars. Contributions and self-inspection of the codebase are permitted under the license terms.
- Pricing model: Free tier available on Mac (no subscription). iPhone and iPad require a paid subscription; pricing varies by region — consult the App Store listing for current rates.
