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…8 votes -
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 -
Making thought-based sharing possible
Making thought-based sharing possible
Currently the only way of sharing a brain is by sharing the whole brain with someone else, or make it publically available where the private thoughts won't be visible. It would be very interesting to share individual thoughts that can be added in someone else's brain, without making it public.
It makes sense, for example, since I could share a project I'm working on with someone else, which is linked to other peojects/people that the other one is not allowed to see (and vice versa).
Making a new brain and copy the thoughts is not the…10 votes -
With AI, I want Talk to my Brain
I've been doing this with chatgpt where I add my extensive notes as training data and explore ideas with the AI in a oral conversational level.
the AI reminds me on the notes that I've written down but forgot about and the AI helps me compare and add to the ideas that I have
I'd like to have this feature with TheBrain.

I really enjoy Cerebro
I have been testing out Cerebro on 15.0.86, and I do believe it is truly a game-changer. The regular brain AI is much less sophisticated and I have found it of limited use. Cerebro, on the other hand, will become a core part of my organizational routine especially as it gets better at searching (finding all relevant thoughts rather than a limited number, etc.).

I’d like to see an option to import Events
I’d like to see an option to import Events and attach them directly to existing Thoughts in TheBrain.
What I’m looking for:
Import events from CSV (or other supported formats) and link them to an existing Thought
Options for duplicates (skip/update/merge) when an event with the same date/title already exists.

Make it so much easier to create a note on the fly
I take notes on the fly using other products and it's a stupid shame that I rarely use TB to do so. Doesn't it make sense to laser focus in on a shortened process for users and potential users to be able to view TB as the ideal note taking product/service that competes head on with the plethora of note taking apps that shall ultimately disappear? I like the idea of The Brain Box being re-imagined as the in-box for ideas and web snapshots to be used later when using TB desktop or web client.

Semantic Processing
I was excited by the Cerebro in TheBrain 15. Finally, a feature that matches what so many competitors have.
However, this is not an AI engine. It's a simple integration between TheBrain API and an LLM. It is so frustrating not to be able to search for example 'thoughts about sport'.
The problem is, I need to know what I am looking for before I start looking for it. Otherwise I can't pass literal information to TheBrain API. This is poor and counterintuitive.
I asked Cerebro about this and it said, perhaps I can literally search through a list of…

Bring back "Copy Local Thought URL" into TB15--- Sorely needed!!!
Before I upgraded from TB14 to TB15, I could right-click a thought and it included the option "Copy Local Thought URL" in addition to "Copy Web Thought URL". This is very important for linking thoughts into text block and also linking thoughts from other brains.

reports allow date placeholders and calculations
Currently in the web version and mobile version, the report conditions show as text which can be adjusted.
It would be nice in all versions (mobile, web and desktop) if you could set a placeholder for the date and perform calculations.
For example:
created:"06/10/2025 - 06/11/2025"
Could become
created:"({now} -7) - {now}"This would allow me to save the report and then when I pull up the saved report it will always give me the thoughts created in the last 7 days.

Does expand and collapse generations need to be re-activated?
I cannot figure out how to expand and collapse generations in 15.0.95. Has this functionality not migrated to later versions of TheBrain 15? This is a major gap if so.

Enable manual reordering of thoughts in Outline view
When brainstorming using the Outline view, the order of the thoughts should be able to be done graphically on the screen using the mouse. This is needed to enable prioritizing ideas. Also thoughts should be able to be elevated or demoted using the mouse.

AlthoughTheBrain app on ios updates to version 15.6.1, the Plex fails to display.
The Plex in the ios app is blank; however, other functionality, BrainBox additions and display, attached notes display, content searches, and synchronization appear to function as expected.

Advanced search - find thoughts that have the same relationships with "n" number of other thoughts
Implement an "Advanced Search" button/capability where more than one thoughts (or fragments of thought names) can be specified. Example:
The Adv Srch form would open with one entry: a search box for entry of text, a dropdown button labeled "relationship" with values of parent|child|jump, and a button with a + to add an additional search entry line. Any number of search entry lines could be added. The default would be "all" logic in that the search would return all thoughts for which all the search entries are true. Perhaps an "any" option could/should be included.3 votes -
Restore plex and notes zoom.
On 15.0.95.0 running on macOS Sierra desktop plex and notes zoom are missing. No pinch/expand; no Command + "+/-", no dropdown menu picks. If there is a way to control the size of text (other than overriding the screen resolution, which is generally unacceptable), please make it obvious.
Thanks.

Bring thebrain 14 timeline back
To the TheBrain Team,
Please restore the classic TheBrain 14 bottom timeline view (or provide an option to enable it in TheBrain 15). Many of us relied on that persistent timeline for fast, visual navigation of our work over time, and the current alternatives do not offer the same clarity or efficiency. Bringing this timeline back, even as an optional legacy view, would preserve long‑established workflows and significantly improve usability for long‑time users.
Thank you
