  1. 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…

  2. 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…

  3. 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]

  4. 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…

  5. 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),…

  6. 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…

  7. Notes can seem cluttered and run-together with single line spacing. I often manually, or now using Cerebro, add blank lines between tabbed or bulleted lines for more clarity and ease of reading. Enabling some basic paragraph formatting would save a good bit of time and trouble.

  9. During the AWS Course in Pune, students learn important AWS services such as EC2, which is used to create virtual servers, S3 for cloud storage, RDS for database management, and VPC for networking. The course is designed in a step-by-step manner so that even beginners can understand the concepts easily.

  11. 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".

  12. 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.

  13. When making a child thought from a brainbox item and it already exists in the brain, the popup box (see attached) does not let deleting it from the brainbox. why not add a delete option to the popup? Also, it is not clear what is the move option;)

  14. THE OPPORTUNITY

    TheBrain excels at what no other tool does: non-linear, associative thinking. The ability to model complex knowledge relationships — thoughts, links, webs of context — is genuinely irreplaceable. But when it comes to rich, freeform note-taking, especially on iPad, OneNote fills a gap TheBrain's current notes panel simply can't match. Handwritten annotation, stylus input, highlighting, visual page layouts — these make OneNote an irreplaceable capture tool for many of us.
    The ask isn't for TheBrain to rebuild those capabilities from scratch. It's for a tighter coupling — so users can bring the best of both worlds into one…

  15. I would like to have the possibility to open attachments with a choice of program, not just the standard program. For example, I want to be able to open pdf-files with Foxit Reader for standard viewing, with pdf24 for editing, with pdf-Arranger, with Drawboard to make annotations.
    At the moment, one hast to open the folder containing the attachment and open the attachment with "Open with..." from there.

  16. After the experience of the past 5 years people are moving away from large corporations; they no longer trust them. The drive towards independence and personal control is leading to Increasing numbers of people choosing linux. By releasing a linux version you will grow your business and contribute to greater levels of freedom & autonomy.

  17. It would be helpful to be able to see how much of the 30GB online storage space is still available for storing remote brains.

    I believe the issue I am having uploading a new Brain is due to its size and my remaining storage.

  18. When pasting structured export-formatted text into an existing thought that already contains recurring child labels, TheBrain 15 beta does not offer the prior copy/replace resolution behavior seen in v14. Instead, it creates duplicate or triplicate child thoughts immediately. This breaks workflows that rely on stable repeated structural node names.

  19. 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…

  20. 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.
