MarkSchrift vs Reflect Open

MarkSchrift is the plain-text workspace for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Write your meeting notes, your class handout, your next chapter - rendered live as you type. Plan your week, track your projects; your files go anywhere. Every document is an ordinary Markdown (.md) text file you own outright: readable in any editor, synced through your own iCloud, portable forever. No proprietary format, no lock-in. WRITE - Markdown styles itself as you type; you always see and edit the real text. - Tables you can edit cell by cell, pictures, footnotes, code with syntax coloring, and typeset math. - Wiki links connect your notes; backlinks and mentions show what points back. PLAN - Tasks are plain checkboxes with small tags for due dates, follow-ups, priorities, and people. - The Agenda gathers every open task across your notes: past due, due today, up next. - Projects roll up their notes, tasks, and people onto a home page; a week note plans your days, and recurring tasks come back on schedule. FIND - Search every note by word, phrase, #tag, or project. - The Binder lists your files, tags, and saved views in one sidebar. SHARE (beta) - Live co-editing with end-to-end encryption: the server only ever stores scrambled bytes it cannot read. - Share an editing link or a read-only link; read-only is enforced cryptographically, not by good manners. - Collaboration keeps maturing release by release: hardened key handling, signed changes, and sessions that stay fast over time. EXPORT - Print or export paginated PDF, Word, and HTML that match what you see. SUBSCRIPTION Collab is an optional subscription: $9.99 a year, after a 14-day free trial. You need it only to host a live session or a hosted project. Joining one that someone shares with you is free, and always will be. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm. It renews each year unless you turn it off at least 24 hours before the term ends. You can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.

Reflect Open is a local-first note-taking app for daily notes, linked thinking, and private AI over your own files. Start each day in a daily note, capture meetings, ideas, tasks, and journal entries, then connect people and projects with wiki-style links. Reflect builds a personal graph from ordinary Markdown files, with fast search, backlinks, and optional semantic search that runs on-device. Your notes stay yours. Reflect has no account, no telemetry, and no Reflect-hosted cloud service. Notes are stored as plain Markdown in a folder you choose, with a rebuildable local SQLite index beside them. Optional AI chat, transcription, and sync features only run when you connect your own provider or storage, and private notes are blocked from external AI calls. Highlights: - Daily notes first, with quick capture into today. - Wiki links and backlinks instead of folders. - Full-text search and optional on-device semantic search. - Optional bring-your-own-key AI chat over your notes. - Audio memos with optional BYOK transcription. - iCloud Drive or Git-based sync using files you own. - Markdown source of truth for long-term portability. - Keyboard-native, minimal interface built for focus.
