Here's what people are saying about us
Really, really liking @reflectnotes so far. It's just the right amount of simple/fast for a personal note taking app and does most of the hard work of organizing in the background.
Don't take it from me: @reflectnotes is magic.
Playing around with @reflectnotes. I'm back to thoughts, details and soundbites from episodes, meetings, articles, etc from the past week. A knowledge worker's dream come true.
I just received an invite to @reflectnotes, and holy crap! It is well thought out, and I can see this being my note-taking platform going forward. Well done! I'm looking forward to seeing how the app progresses.
I'm keeping @reflectnotes open *all* the time, and I'm using both for simple journaling, and long form writing. It's rare to see a single app work so well for both.
All righty. I have to give a massive shout-out to @maccaw for pioneering @reflectnotes. It has matured to a point where it is a daily driver — speed, focus, and attention to detail is superb.
Our mission is to improve the way people think by making a jolly good note-taking app.
