Good news for our iPad users: you’ll notice the app is now much faster! Last week we announced a move to SQLite across our iPhone and desktop apps, and today we’ve brought that same update to iPad. Take it for a spin!

Today we have a major update that has made Reflect a lot faster 🏃‍♂️ Over the past year, a lot of our time has gone into rewriting the entire frontend codebase to be powered by SQLite. We quietly launched this across iOS, web, and macOS desktop over the last two weeks. In short you should see much faster load times, and we should handle massive note collections without issue (no more reloading issues on mobile!). Also included in this release: – Claude 3.7 Sonnet support for our AI assistant – An in-line PDF preview that lets you view PDFs within the macOS app – Persistent search results. 📱App rewrite in SQLite We’ve completed a full rewrite of the database layer powering our apps. With this update we're moving to a new database technology called SQLite, which should boost performance, reliability, and increase storage capacity. You will experience noticeable improvements in app stability and responsiveness. For example, when you open Reflect on iOS it should now load almost instantly. If you have used our iOS app before in the past and got frustrated from constant reloading issues, give the app another whirl again. This update should resolve all of that! This rewrite was a massive undertaking and we are incredibly pleased with the result. We'll link to a technical write-up in the comments for anyone curious. ✨ Claude 3.7 Sonnet Added to AI Features Anthropic recently released Claude 3.7 Sonnet and it made quite the splash. The new model is significantly better at following instructions and general reasoning, making it an even better note-taking assistant. We’ve added this new model to Reflect’s AI assistant. If you have the model set to Default or Anthropic, you’re now using Claude 3.7 Sonnet in Reflect! Give it a try by highlighting some text and selecting the ✨ icon or using the cmd j shortcut. 📑 PDF Preview in Mac Reflect’s Mac app now lets you preview PDF files you have attached in your notes. From this preview you can download, print and copy the text to use as needed. 🔎 Persistent Search Results When you use Reflect’s Advanced Search, the results will now persist if you close the search and come back to it. If you’d like to clear the results, just click the “Reset” button.

🎙️ We’ve added an in-line voice transcriber to Reflect. It lets you transcribe text in real-time, anywhere in your notes. Hit the Option key twice (or press Option   Space) to toggle the transcriber on and off. On Windows, use Alt instead of Option.

Today we are releasing Reflect Webchat – a free Chrome extension that lets you chat with any webpage. Use it to summarize information on a page, pull the recipe from a YouTube video or anything else you can think of! (Download link in comments)
