Your brain was made for having ideas, not storing them. In an era of information overload, having a second brain has become essential. Our brain is non-linear and we jump from idea-to-idea, all the time.
This is where tools like Reflect can help us associate ideas so that they are easier to remember and recall.
👍 Advantages of using Reflect:
I've used Obsidian, RemNote, and Roam but they all come with their complexities and have huge learning curves. It took me at least 4-7 days to understand their features and how to fully take advantage of them. Reflect's UI is super intuitive and any noob (like me) can get started within minutes.
- Syncing Google Calendar to create a template for all meeting notes.
- Backlinking these meeting notes with relevant tags so you can see all meeting notes with different people or different departments under one tag.
- You can sync your Kindle highlights & notes which is really cool!
- You can publish your Kindle notes and share it with a public link.
- Sync your contacts from Google and it will create a separate tag for them under #people.
- Its chrome extension comes with a highlight feature with which you can highlight anything on the web & it will sync with the Reflect app under #links tag.
- All the tags are categorized as Books, Links, People, and custom tags you create on the app. I really love this feature!
- It obviously comes with the Graph feature and Dark mode.

👎 Limitations:
- They don't have a feature to upload images while taking notes.
- I had trouble with syncing my meetings.
- There's no Discord or any group to connect with other Reflect note-takers.
- I couldn't create a separate folder within Reflect app.
