  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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…

  5. 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. Trainers focus on both theoretical knowledge and practical implementation, which helps students gain complete understanding of cloud computing.

  7. 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".

  8. 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.

  9. 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;)

  10. 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…

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. 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!

  17. 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

  18. 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.

  19. 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…

  20. You could create a separate section like the timeline section and have a spot where you can plug in where in the world something might have happened. There are opensource Google Earth-type websites out there with free data and low-poly Earth spheres. Would be just an extra feature to be able to input and export data with, which I believe is one of TheBrain's biggest strengths.
