Have a local globe where you can enter geo-location coordinates
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.

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!

Make it so much easier to create a note on the fly
I take notes on the fly using other products and it's a stupid shame that I rarely use TB to do so. Doesn't it make sense to laser focus in on a shortened process for users and potential users to be able to view TB as the ideal note taking product/service that competes head on with the plethora of note taking apps that shall ultimately disappear? I like the idea of The Brain Box being re-imagined as the in-box for ideas and web snapshots to be used later when using TB desktop or web client.

reports allow date placeholders and calculations
Currently in the web version and mobile version, the report conditions show as text which can be adjusted.
It would be nice in all versions (mobile, web and desktop) if you could set a placeholder for the date and perform calculations.
For example:
created:"06/10/2025 - 06/11/2025"
Could become
created:"({now} -7) - {now}"This would allow me to save the report and then when I pull up the saved report it will always give me the thoughts created in the last 7 days.

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.

add an api to handle attachments at thoughts: create, move, delete
use case was imported thoughts with child thoughts that had attachments. I asked the AI to move the attachments to the parent and remove the child thoughts, to cleanup. it understood, but the api to move the attachment is not available

Adding a set of more meaningful export options (visuals, presentation, interoperabiity)
I wish all the work I put up and all the great results I can achieve with TheBrain could be exported in some more meaningful (presentational, interoperable) formats.
I am thinking of things like OPML, multi-thought PDFs including image references to the plex, visuals of the Plex – also local areals, and more linear ones like mind-/concept maps), ways to have slides as output etc.
I am sure others will have some more ideas.
But I feel the current set of export options of TheBrain makes it a very "mute" endpoint of knowledge processes in a lot of scenarios.

I’d like to see an option to import Events
I’d like to see an option to import Events and attach them directly to existing Thoughts in TheBrain.
What I’m looking for:
Import events from CSV (or other supported formats) and link them to an existing Thought
Options for duplicates (skip/update/merge) when an event with the same date/title already exists.

The notes and attachments sections open in separate windows.
I would like to have the option to split the notes and attachments sections into two separate windows. Often, when taking notes, you have to juggle between the web browser (to open attachments externally) and the Brain. With this setup, you could stay entirely within Brain and continue taking notes without switching context.
I could even imagine having the attachments section overlay or replace the Plex side panel, allowing full-length display of the attachment while taking notes—all within the same application.I believe this would improve the workflow.

Semantic Processing
I was excited by the Cerebro in TheBrain 15. Finally, a feature that matches what so many competitors have.
However, this is not an AI engine. It's a simple integration between TheBrain API and an LLM. It is so frustrating not to be able to search for example 'thoughts about sport'.
The problem is, I need to know what I am looking for before I start looking for it. Otherwise I can't pass literal information to TheBrain API. This is poor and counterintuitive.
I asked Cerebro about this and it said, perhaps I can literally search through a list of…

Enable manual reordering of thoughts in Outline view
When brainstorming using the Outline view, the order of the thoughts should be able to be done graphically on the screen using the mouse. This is needed to enable prioritizing ideas. Also thoughts should be able to be elevated or demoted using the mouse.

URL to reference files attached within Notes
While having the URL of a Thought is fantastic and works well, I would like to see an option to create a URL pointing to data (or a file) in other places, such as Notes. My use case is as follows: I have a QRCode label on my circuit breakers that points to a Thought. I scan the label on my phone, which takes me to that Thought. From there, I navigate to the Notes section and am able to pull up my spreadsheet with circuit information for that panel. Not a HUGE issue, but it would provide ease of…
