Remember vs Reflect

Everything Reflect does, but free, open source, and cross-platform

Reflect is a sleek note-taking app — but it costs $10/month (annual only), is effectively Apple-only, closed source, and uses a proprietary format. Remember gives you AI-powered knowledge management for free, on any platform, in Markdown you own.
