We’ve made solid progress this month with a refreshed mobile app design, improved AI integrations, and subtle improvements to the user experience. Take a look at what’s new, and at some of the stuff we’ve got brewing.
🎨 A refreshed iOS app design
The interface of an app is dramatically affected by small changes. They add up to a noticeably smoother user experience.
Some things that changed:
- An updated layout for the text editing menu, complete with redesigned icons.
- A cleaner Daily Notes page with more space for your day.
- Increased white-space, improving navigation and readability.
✨ AI improvements
Both of Reflect’s AI integrations – our GPT-4 palette editor and Whisper AI voice transcriber – have seen some upgrades.
Our voice transcriber can now handle recordings longer than 30 minutes. You can also now record from the iPad app (still in beta). In your settings, you can also give the transcriber helper text if it’s struggling with a certain word or name.

Our AI palette editor also became more powerful. If you have API access to either GPT-3.5 or GPT-4 from open AI, you can enter your own API key to bypass token limits*.
Watch a video walkthrough of how to do this here.
- Note that this is different from having GPT-4 access through ChatGPT+. If you don’t yet have GPT-4 API access, you’ll have to join OpenAI’s waitlist.
🛠️ Usability features and fixes
- A complete revamp of our Lists functionality - this was a huge one for user experience
- You can now check/uncheck to-do boxes from the incoming backlinks section at the bottom of a note
- The overflow scroll issue has been fixed on the sidebars
- Added ability to map forward/back keyboard shortcuts on the Mac app (useful for international keyboards)
📚 A new content series
We launched a new content series on our blog called
. In each interview, a notable builder or creator walks through their physical and digital workstation, as well as their daily habits.
with Tibo Louis-Lucas, the founder of Tweet Hunter and Taplio.
Our
has also been busy, with a dozen new workflows and videos that will help you take better notes.

What are we building next?
- Improve mobile app startup speed and performance (we won’t stop until it’s as fast as Apple Notes!)
- Chrome/Safari extension improvements: capture Tweets, remove highlights on text you’ve saved, add backlink/tagging, etc.
- Add due dates to Tasks beta
