Do more with the thought appearances.
Hi,
Being a veteran mindmap builder I like to put lots of colours in my brains. Especially the text colours of thoughts I like to differentiate a lot (as well as the background colours).
A couple of things bother me on that level:
First: The labels can't have the colour of the thought (...or a different colour)
Second: In the notes area of a thought, it's name and label are not inheriting the allocated colours of the thought text.This would greatly enhance the unity feeling of the whole. You can choose for hero icons in the note but it…

Make TheBrain dual screen compatible
Hi, I looked into the roadmap for version 15 and didn't see anything about dual screen support for TheBrain. Let me clarify, of course you can have two screens installed and have TheBrain running. But you can't choose to have the plex on one screen and the notes on another. This way you would be able to expand the visual interaction with both areas to the max.
I know there is a lot of people out there that are working on multiple screens, wouldn't it be a great idea to have TheBrain expand across your entire screen(s) field? No more…12 votes -
report results should not have a 1000-hits limit but should show all results
In TB 14 the reports do not have a limit: all thoughts fulfilling the search criteria are shown.
In TB 15 there is a limit and only 1000 results are shown and it is not clear what criterion is for choosing which thoughts are displayed.

Deep linking
One of the interesting features of Obsidian (and some other stuff) is the ability to deep-link to specific paragraphs of notes. I can write a note and link a statement to a paragraph in another note. Or, even transclude that other-note paragraph into the note I am writing.
In addition to this, other aspects of deep linking needed in TheBrain include:
~ Section anchors that would correspond with the existing section headers used in the TOC
~ Bookmarks that could be placed at the paragraph level
~ Transclusions (amazing!)Please add these deep linking features to TheBrain? For me it's…

Open notes in separate window from plex
I would like the option of opening the notes section in a separate window on my second screen instead of having it attached to the side of the plex in the same window.
This is somewhat possible now with opening a second window of the brain and maximizing the notes on there, but when I navigate to a different thought, I then have to navigate on both windows separately, which is a pain. I have not found any way or information about splitting the two otherwise.

BrainBox full text capture local-only (not via WebBrain)
I use the BrainBox Safari and Chrome extensions a lot on macOS. In TheBrain 15 BrainBox is working better than ever. But, I rarely use WebBrain. To get a full-text capture (not just the URL) I have to (1) create a new thought on the desktop Brain, (2) wait for a sync, (3) wait for WebBrain to sync, (4) capture the page with the BrainBox extension, (5) from the BrainBox dialog in the broswer select the full text capture option, (6) select the thought I want the capture to be a child of (and hope that the indexing is finished),…

Local AI option PER brain
I use TheBrain for work and at home on the same laptop. We are allowed to also use our business laptop for private aspects.
In this scenario I want to be able to use e.g. ChatGPT for my private brain, however for my work brain I have to truly make sure, I will only use local AI endpoints.
Thus, for me it would be a real advantage to define the local AI use on a "per Brain" level. Ideally I would have a switch per Brain like [Cloud AI] / [Local AI] / [No AI]

The screen is filled with thought text name (large, no control over size) no way to access my note-bug?
Hi, iOS (26.4.2) on iPhone (13 Pro) issue (though is see it also on the macOS desktop app).
I can’t access the note. The screen is showing mainly the thought name and the bottom menu items cover the tip of the note. No way the decrease thought name text size. Not sure if a bug or per design.To replicate go to Instagram, select
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIhiAPXR6QO/?igsh=bG4xM3ZwZ21ybXg4
and share to BrainBox. Then import from BrainBox to a thought. The import process creates this thought name and note with the link to Instagram-All good and desired.
Nevertheless, it is totally nonfunctional. Due to…1 vote -
Use Cerebro to add events or reminders related to a thought
Use Cerebro to add events or reminders related to a thought. As of .509 we have to manually create a reminder or event related to the selected thought. For example, a reminder to do something related to the note in *** days. This would be much easier if we could say to Cerebro "Set a reminder on the timeline to check on the status of the selected thought".

Option to sort the search results according to date accessed etc.
At the moment I am not sure how the search results that the search/create field returns are sorted. To me the search order does not make much sense and the thought that I search is somewhere in the middle hidden between thoughts that are not relevant.
It would be nice to be able to choose the sort order according to date accessed or alphabetically. Additional options could be relevant for other users.3 votes -
Implement the possibility for choosing how report results are sorted
At the moment it is not clear to me how the thoughts in the result for reports are ordered.

Make it possible to switch the endpoints of links without losing the link properties
Hi,
A thought about links that occurred to me:
Wouldn't it be good if we would have the possibility to alter/change the start- and end-thought of a certain link?Imagine, after having set the colour and the thickness and the type of a link between two thoughts and maybe even added a note content and you realize that one of the end thoughts should be different... the only solution is to unlink and start all over again losing all property and note information of the existing link in the process.
If the properties-window of the link had a reference to…

Hover Over Label Larger Text as in v.14
I use labels quite a bit for quick level 2 information about a thought without actually opening the thought. In version 14 I could hover over a thought and the font size was large enough to get what I needed and move on. In version 15 the font size is much reduced. I would like to being the font size of hovering over a label back to version 14 size.

Native Daily Journaling / Calendar View
Hello TheBrain Team,
I’d love a native daily journaling / calendar view in TheBrain.
Right now, to keep a daily log I manually create thoughts like 2025-12-17 (optionally under 2025 → 2025-12), link a Today thought, and paste a journaling template into each new day. It works, but it’s clunky compared to “open calendar → click date → type.”
What I’m asking for:
Calendar view for a chosen journal thought
Select a “Journal root” (e.g. Journal – Daily Logs) and see a calendar.
Clicking a date opens or creates a daily thought (e.g. 2025-12-17) and its notes.
Automatic daily thought…9 votes -

Slash command when creating thoughts for quick add of tag/type
Sometimes adding new thoughts and you want to go quickly - this would help.
I know there are keyboard shortcuts, but these are often sometimes not the easiest to establish ( and I for one am always having them clash with other apps -on a Mac). Many other apps now have slash command as a quick entry means. This would help.
