Be able to pull down from top to open a global search in the mobile app same as iOS spotlight, etc

It would be great to have an app for Apple watch to add voice memos (transcribe audio). It would be so useful when some good idea comes to mind and iPhone is far away or somewhere in a pocket.

Native integration with macOS/iOS calendar and contacts. This has the benefit of being a single integration (the app will just ask for access) and can then grab all data, regardless of storage. So for example, I have two personal calendars and three work calendars. Setting up 5 integrations for this is a hassle, but just pulling data from the macOS app is much easier. Fits with your native strategy + end-to-end encryption approach (no data passing your DC under this scenario). Same for contacts.

I would love to see one of these smaller, less powerful, local-only models be an option (like the new WebGPT) alongside GPT-4. I would use GPT-4 when I need a powerful model and don't mind sharing my data with OpenAI. I would use a local-first model when I don't need something super powerful OR I want to use all of my notes as inputs to the model.

I'd like to be able to create recurring tasks in Reflect, for periodic tasks or chores. There seem to be two common patterns of recurrence: A fixed schedule, e.g. "take the trash to the street every Monday evening" By a period of time since it was previously repeated, e.g. "replace the air filters every 6 months" In Things , recurrence patterns are set through a series of dropdowns, which are a little clunky, but effective (see screenshots). Todoist takes a different approach , having you specify it with natural language in the task's description itself. This would seem a better fit for Reflect. This entire feature would likely be dependent on due dates .

would love add table in the notes

If John Doe is a previously backlinked entity, when I start typing "John D.." it should recommend back linking that name in the note and let me us the tab key to automatically link to the suggested name without needing me to type "[[". Might need to require a certain number of characters or exclude lowercase words or something to avoid it constantly popping up suggestions. Maybe it even only works when you type an exact string that matches an existing backlink.

Screen where prompts can be created/edited/Exported from one location and a sort order specified. Would make use of prompts much more streamlined

I and my ADHD brain benefit so much from the assistance of ChatGPT or other AI's that allow voice conversations. Unfortunately, there's no easy way to give ChatGPT or Claude access to my reflect notes as I go. I love writing to reflect, but would later like to discuss and reflect on my experiences via ChatGPT etc, without having to manually copy/paste content, or make historic context of past reflections and writing accessible. An MCP server that has API access to search my Reflect memory would be a great start. I realize privacy and encryption are one of the best features Reflect has and this would open the doors to that data a little. Yet I also find myself looking for alternatives that allow this type of usage.

I appreciate that your team put together a markdown backup but it does feel like a backup focused on getting data back into Reflect, not an export focused on me having an organized properly formatted personal record. These files can really just get pulled back into reflect and it’s a huge bucket of reflect formatted files. I would really love to see an organized, comprehensive, and local-first approach to exporting my data. An export should be clean and easy for me to browse through on my computer. There should be no backlinks to reflect URLs. Instead the backlinks should point ONLY to filenames. The Backlinks in the export currently are just reflect hyperlinks. This would only be helpful in reflect so it is not future proof and local first. It is reflect-first. I plan on using reflect for a long time but realistically when I am assessing a tool I pay close attention to these types of features. I want to feel like I’m not trapped here. I want to feel like the more data I feed this app, the more intelligent my universal file base is getting. I don’t want to feel like I am becoming more and more dependent on Reflect. Id really like to see more rich export that shows not reflect URLs but references to other Note titles so this would be simpler to move somewhere else. Maybe it’s a checkbox on export for “strip reflect URLs from export”. Maybe you have two separate things for two use cases - Export & Backup. I just hope to see the Reflect team take the user-centered approach to data exports and not a Reflect-centered approach.
