Checkboxes and Checkcircles
What if TheBrain had two different check controls: checkboxes and checkcircles?
☐ Checkbox = Todo - Works as it does now and appears in TheBrain's Todo list.
◯ Checkcircle = non-Todo - You can check and uncheck it just like a checkbox, but it never appears in the Todo list.
Sometimes a checkable item isn't something you need to do. It might represent a status, condition, or progress. For example:
☐ Contact vendor about outstanding check
◯ Check has cleared the vendor's bankOr you might have a list of book chapters that you want to check off as you…

Save webpage (reader view) to pdf via Quick Thoughts
I've been using Evernote to save important articles from the web. TB will let you save links easily but they also risk getting deleted/broken.
In order to fully utilize TB as a information hub of your collected materials, you should be able to save dynamic web pages to 'snap shot' knowledge.
The newly Quick thoughts function should just have an option of saving link or content.

Add button to copy code block and Callouts content
Add a “Copy” button for TheBrain code blocks and callouts in their top-right corner were very handy.
Unfortunately, this feature doesn’t seem to currently apply to TheBrain.
It would be great if support could be added.
A sample of implementation : https://github.com/jdbrice/obsidian-code-block-copy

Copy and pasting PNG icons
I have several icons that are a PNG image with a transparent background. When I select the thought with the icon and copy it and paste this icon into another thought, the transparency is lost.

Restore Built In Screenshot Capture in v15
Several longtime users miss the old built in screenshot / Insert Image workflow.
The current OS screenshot method works, but it does not feel equal for heavy screenshot users. What used to be one smooth action inside TheBrain now takes more clicks and keypresses, sometimes turning into three or four steps depending on the user’s setup.
For users who capture images while thinking, writing, researching, or building notes, those extra steps break their flow and slow down a workflow they had built into TheBrain for years.
Please consider restoring a direct built in screenshot capture option in TheBrain 15, so…

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…

Clear/delete card view timeline
Would be nice to be able to clear / delete ones timeline in the card view. Like when you clear the history cache in the browser. E.g. if you've imported many thoughts and then deleted some of them it fills unnessarily the timeline with too much.

Global Orientation Mini-Map with Smart Level-of-detail Zoom capabilities
Current visualisation problem:
Dense or large brains make it difficult to remember where the current view sits within the overall knowledge structure. Conventional zoom mainly changes scale; it does not adapt the amount or meaning of information shown, so large views become cluttered and small views become uninformative.Proposed improvement:
Provide a persistent, interactive mini-map showing the whole brain or selected region, the current viewport, major clusters, and the active thought. Make zoom levels semantic: show detailed thoughts nearby, summarized groups at medium scale, and major domains or supernodes at global scale.Expected benefit:
Users retain global orientation, recover context…3 votes -
"Composed" view of child thought notes
I would like to optionally select a parent thought and in the content area of that thought TheBrain would show of "composed" view of all the notes from the parent's children. So if thought A has children A1, A2, and A3, with A1 and A3 having content (text, embedded images, diagrams, transcluded thought, etc.) but A2 has none, then the note area of the A's content display would display, in thought order, the contents of A1 and A3. If I manually reorganized the children to the order A2, A3, A1, then the content area of A would also be rearranged.…

Adjusting settings: Layout spacing
With v15, when I open settings from within a brain, it only remembers the "layout spacing" for that brain on the device on which it's loaded. This means I need to open every brain on every device and adjust the layout spacing which is tedious.
An option to push layout spacing to all devices across all brains would be ideal.

timeline feature: start using or viewing, choose from time intervals of 1,000 years, 100 years, 50 years, 25 years, and 10 years
To use the timeline feature for historical purposes (or, for example, to display family trees, etc.), users should be able to choose from time intervals of 1,000 years, 100 years, 50 years, 25 years, and 10 years.
Right now, it takes quite a bit of effort to use "thoughts," "types," and "tags" to achieve a good presentation and linking of such data sets.
Maybe all historians and genealogists could find happiness!2 votes -
Set Categories for Events
It would be nice to set categories for events that we can inherit colours for.
Currently I have to remember meetings = orange, holidays = green etc.I'd like the ability to specify categories (or types, but not linked to Thought Types) for events so I don't have to remember or manually assign the color.

Type & Tag pulldown menu: order vs order in plex
I use supertypes and tags to order types and tags in the plex and pulldown menu. We can now order how these are displayed in the plex, but the order in the pulldown remains alpha. It'd be nice if the pulldown ordering reflected the ordering in the plex.
The screenshot illustrates this.
Thanks for considering.1 vote -
Ability to set basic paragraph formatting in notes
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.

I want Cerebro to be able to use other tools MCP so I can control my tools from Cerebro, keeping most of my work in TheBrain.
Like Claude, ClickUp BrainMax, etc. you can use the Ai Chat (and ClickUp Ai Super Agents) to take action on your tools like Dropbox, Metricool, Shopify, etc., via MCP connections.
I want Cerebro to be like this, to integrate and control my tools right next to where we strategize. This will help us all take action faster than ever before.

深色模式下的高亮问题Highlighting issues in dark mode
I'd like to request a separate setting for highlight and background color, so they can be configured independently. Thank you.

Fix LaTex.
Fix LaTex. It does not work and you know it does not work. It has been a Forum topic for years. And, it cannot be that hard to fix. This has been a problem since I first used theBrain many, many years ago. I am still a theBrain customer. I love everything about theBrain except, because of LaTex, I am continually going to something else (Obsidian is becoming my go to Note manager). I love theBrain and keep my subscription hoping that someday I will be able to use theBrain to manage my math notes.

Please add "add URL" as an option to Quick Thoughts so I can use it like I did Brainbox. Especially since it is no long on my ios devices.
Brainbox is no long available on my ios devices. My standard workflow is to capture links to news articles that I then post to thought in my brain. Doing that with Quick Thoughts is cumbersome, I have to open the link, then copy, then post. At least provide "Add URL" capabilities to Quick Thoughts

A whiteboard diagram type
Add a whiteboard diagram type. This would be especially useful on iOS / iPadOS so that we could use the Pencil (or alternative on Android, etc.) to sketch out ideas. At this time, we can do that in a separate app and copy an image to paste into the thought. But, I would be more useful to create and edit the whiteboard from TheBrain itself.

Refined card view
Enable the Card View to only display a thought and its child thoughts organized in a hierarchical order. Activate this by right clicking on a thought in card view and show just the child thoughts.
