Today we released the database rewrite I've been working on for the past few weeks.
It changes how the entire app works internally, and effectively reduces the memory footprint greatly.
Practically, you'll notice:
  1. Much faster startup time
  2. No more mobile reloads if you have a large graph
Less obvious, but still important: Reflect will now take up much less system resources. We're getting close to what native apps can achieve in terms of both speed and lightweightness.
To get the updated app, just refresh Testflight.

Reflect AI now operates using GPT-4 from OpenAI.
This newer version of GPT is significantly more creative and intelligent. You can use it to rephrase text like any author, use it to edit your writing and much more.
In this update we also added the ability to view the prompts our team has pre-built. You can then clone, edit and save your own custom prompts to quickly call up in the future.
To access Reflect AI with GPT-4, just call on the AI palette like normal using
cmd j
or clicking the stars icon after highlighting some text.
You can see a video walkthrough of how to create your own custom prompts here.
