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…

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 -
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]

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 -
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".

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.

Smart save for searching.
I propose that we create a search agent. It's simple. Let's say you search for a few keywords in the Brain. Once the search is complete and you have an overview of the thoughts that have been found. You can save the search to a search repository. When I add more thoughts, this search would continue to work in the background, adding thoughts that match the search criteria. When I go to the search directory and click on the search that I saved, it will instantly present me the new updated search results.

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.6 votes -
api endpoint for todo retrieval and update
TheBrain isn't my primary todo location but I find it extremely useful, and lets face it, easy, to add them directly into the thoughts they apply to. But then they are a bit lost for me when managing my day. I want to be able to access them via MCP or API's directly so I can have them as part of my overall task management system. That way Cerebro could also work with them as right now it can't help me even from inside the brain!

Better PDF handling
When I insert a link that points to a PDF, I'd like to direclty download into Brain/Thought pdf files instead of or in addition to link.
Actually it's possible download it to disk, as it happens in browser, and then attach to the thoughts.And if I open a PDF from a thought and for example make some highlights or add some comments directly from TheBrain, when saving it has to direclty update in the thoughts, not to an external folder.

Enable Dynamic Thought Syncing Between Local Brains
I love the copy local / web thought URL. However, I would like to extend the capability in this direction a bit further.
I would like to be able to connect thoughts between two or more brains so that they remain in sync with the following functionality:
- Sync this thought with another brain bi-directionally (latest version sync whichever thought holds last edited version or content)
- Sync this thought with another brain uni-directionally (the identical thought in the other brain always acts as a backup)
- For backup mode, define a number of copies of changed content within the thought
- Be able…

Keyboard short cut for open context menu of a thought
There are many helpful short cuts to handle TB from keyboard. However one essentual short cut is missing: open context menu of a selected thought corresponding to the right click by mouse. This would reduce grapping the mouse alot.

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.).

MacMail
I'm trying to copy an email into a thought as an attachment from MacMail. I can grab in in MacMail and can place it as a child / parent ... or as an attachment. Each time (and in each place) TheBrain 15.101 says it's attached ... but it's not.

When hovering over search results show related notes with search term(s) highlighted.
In v.14 this is standard performance so I can see if the related note is what I am looking for.
In v.15 you have to either open one result at the time to see the note content, or add all results to selection and then open them one by one.3 votes
