In my previous update, I outlined my situation with note-taking apps and shared what I planned to do moving forward. I reviewed the options I was considering and how I felt about each one. Ultimately, I decided to switch to Apple Notes for general and family-related notes. I will share more about my Apple Notes setup in a future edition. As for my personal, knowledge-based notes are concerned, I chose to move to Reflect Notes.
I'm a bit late in sharing this, but I didn’t stick with Reflect Notes after all. I gave it a try, but it just didn’t fully win me over. On paper, it seemed almost perfect—it had all the personal knowledge management (PKM) features I was looking for, a web app, and even semantic search. So I initially thought it would be the best fit among the options I had shortlisted.
But, there were several issues with Reflect that ultimately led to my decision not to continue using it. First, as I had anticipated, the design of the app is subpar. It feels mediocre in both aesthetics and functionality, and I tend to prefer applications that are thoughtfully designed, both visually and in terms of user experience.
