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),…

Restore Built In Screenshot / Insert Image Workflow 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…

I have a wealth of "Google Alerts". can I bring them into a new Brain?
I have a wealth of "Google Alerts" (over 6000 of them).
Can I import them into a new Brain?
I'd like to be able to sort and categorize them, and access/use them for content creation ideas.
Many of them have multiple links to different media sources.
The ideal new thought would include:
1. Alert name/Type (e.g.: Shopping Tips)
2. Alert Date (yyyy/mm/dd)
3. Alert Title (Initial Cap text)
4. Alert Link (url)
5. Alert Media Name (Name/abbreviation of Media Source))
6. Alert Description (1-2 lines of text or summary text)1 vote -

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.

Directly Activate Thought Links in Notes
In V15 beta, when you click a link in a note, that pops up a little dialog (see attached screenshot) which shows the text of the link and a hamburger (a menu button). By clicking on the text, you can finally bring up the linked item (a note or external URL).
From a user's point of view, this creates avoidable friction because it bundles functionality that could be achieved by other means as well:
- let me start with the hamburg menu that is brought: that can also be access through the context menu, so there really is no need…1 vote -
Selected thoughts include Tags and Type to "copy text Outline with notes"
It would be great if Selected thoughts will include Tags and Type to the "copy text Outline with notes" command.
This will helps me e.g. to get a quick excel sheet via Claude Code, with all selected Thoughts in a nice overview, wich I can use for a meeting as an overview.

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.

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.

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
