How To Use Reflect

Getting Started (2 minutes)

Sign up at reflect.app and download the app (Mac, Windows, iOS) or just use it in your browser. No folders to set up - Reflect keeps it dead simple.
Hit Cmd+N (or Ctrl+N on Windows) to create a new note. Start typing. That's it. Reflect syncs instantly across all your devices.
Type [[ and start writing a topic name to create a backlink. Example: [[Project ideas]]. Now this note is connected to that topic. Click the backlink to see all notes mentioning it.
Open the graph view (icon in the sidebar) to see your notes as a network. Each dot is a note, lines show connections. The more you link ideas, the more useful this gets.
Turn on calendar integration (Google or Outlook) so Reflect automatically creates a daily note for each meeting. You can take notes before, during, or after calls and they're always linked to the right date.

Reflect is designed for networked thinking - connecting ideas instead of filing them in folders:

Link notes to each other as you write. When you mention a book, person, or project, wrap it in double brackets [[like this]]. Later, when you're thinking about that topic, click the link and see every note where you mentioned it.
Use daily notes as your command center. Reflect creates a note for each day automatically. Dump tasks, meeting notes, and random thoughts there. Backlink to project notes so everything stays connected.
Ask AI to surface insights. Highlight any text and ask Reflect's AI a question - "What are the key takeaways from this?" or "How does this relate to [[other project]]?" It searches your entire note library to give context.

Capture ideas with the Quick Capture shortcut. Set up a global keyboard shortcut so you can pull up Reflect from anywhere on your computer, jot a note, and get back to what you were doing in 5 seconds.
Use the browser extension and Kindle sync to save highlights. Anything you clip from the web or highlight on your Kindle gets sent straight to Reflect with the source link attached.
Review your backlinks weekly. Pick a topic like [[writing]] and read through all the notes you've linked to it over time. You'll spot patterns and ideas you forgot about.

Heavy project management. Reflect doesn't have task lists with due dates, kanban boards, or project templates. If you need that, use Notion or Asana and sync highlights to Reflect for reference.
Team collaboration. Reflect is built for personal note-taking. You can share individual notes, but there's no real-time co-editing or team workspaces. It's your brain, not your team's.
