What is Reflect?
Reflect's quiet SQLite frontend rewrite reset its performance ceiling and unblocked the AI roadmap.
Reflect is a personal note-taking app with embedded AI features (chat, transcription, summarization). The structurally important move of the year was a frontend rewrite onto SQLite, shipped across iOS, web, macOS, and then iPad over March 2025 — fixing the load-time and large-collection ceilings that had been quietly limiting the product. The rest of the visible cadence has been AI surface work: in-line voice transcription, Gemini for long-context chat, AI link summaries that feed semantic search, and an editor for custom prompt templates.
What is Document360?
Document360 ships collaborative editing and API v3 with OAuth 2.0 in back-to-back releases.
Document360 has shipped two major capability expansions in consecutive August releases: v12.8.2 introduced API v3 with OAuth 2.0 authentication and scoped API keys (the product's largest API overhaul to date), and v12.8.4 added real-time collaborative editing allowing multiple contributors to work on the same article simultaneously. The surrounding releases improved the AI assistant analytics layer (Eddy AI unanswered query tracking) and redesigned the navigation and publishing UX.

Reflect's quiet SQLite frontend rewrite reset its performance ceiling and unblocked the AI roadmap.
◆ Current state
Reflect is a personal note-taking app with embedded AI features (chat, transcription, summarization). The structurally important move of the year was a frontend rewrite onto SQLite, shipped across iOS, web, macOS, and then iPad over March 2025 — fixing the load-time and large-collection ceilings that had been quietly limiting the product. The rest of the visible cadence has been AI surface work: in-line voice transcription, Gemini for long-context chat, AI link summaries that feed semantic search, and an editor for custom prompt templates.
◆ Where it's heading
Reflect is closing the desktop-mobile parity gap one feature at a time (advanced search filters made the jump from desktop to iOS in August) while making the AI surface more configurable and more entangled with search. The team's own July release explicitly named AI chat on mobile as the next milestone. The pattern: ship the architectural foundation, then layer the AI features that depend on it.
◆ Prediction
AI chat on mobile is the next named milestone from the team's own published roadmap notes. Beyond that, expect more features that quietly feed AI-generated context into search (the link-summary pattern extended to OCR'd PDFs, voice transcripts, etc.) and continued performance work that exploits the SQLite rewrite.
Document360
7.5COLLAB
Document360 ships collaborative editing and API v3 with OAuth 2.0 in back-to-back releases.
◆ Current state
Document360 has shipped two major capability expansions in consecutive August releases: v12.8.2 introduced API v3 with OAuth 2.0 authentication and scoped API keys (the product's largest API overhaul to date), and v12.8.4 added real-time collaborative editing allowing multiple contributors to work on the same article simultaneously. The surrounding releases improved the AI assistant analytics layer (Eddy AI unanswered query tracking) and redesigned the navigation and publishing UX.
◆ Where it's heading
Document360 is clearly targeting enterprise knowledge base teams: OAuth 2.0 on the API enables secure SSO-gated integrations, collaborative editing removes a key friction point for team-based documentation, and unanswered query analytics gives content managers data to prioritize gaps. The product is closing the gap to Confluence and Notion on collaboration and integration depth.
◆ Prediction
Expect role-based collaborative editing permissions (view-only, comment, edit) and API v3 expansion to cover content lifecycle endpoints — the OAuth infrastructure is the foundation for third-party workflow integrations.
