Features
Reflect Open is an open-source Mac app for local Markdown notes with backlinks and tasks that needs no proprietary cloud and handles AI capabilities such as chat, rewriting, summarising, and translation exclusively through the user's own API key.
The Mac app is free and available in Stable or Beta versions. Sync uses iCloud or Git by choice; AI and transcription use your own provider accounts. The classic Reflect cloud app remains a different, still-available product.
- Store local Markdown notes, tasks, and backlinks on your Mac without mandatory cloud sync
- AI chat, rewriting, summarising, and translation using your own API key (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or OpenRouter)
- Sync via iCloud or Git/GitHub of your own choice
- API keys are managed in the operating system keychain
- Open-source code reviewable; Mac beta free to use without a credit card

Limits
Reflect Open is a different app from the still-available Reflect cloud app. The Mac client is free; AI and transcription costs are charged by the provider you choose. Notes can be explicitly marked private, which blocks them from AI and other services that read note content. This does not mean all notes automatically stay local during ordinary AI use.
