1. 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 need to choose between plex or notes or have half of both, just add a screen!

   Let me know what the "multiple screeners" amongst you think about it.

   Regards,
   Jean-Marc

3. 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 use value if it could point to the spreadsheet directly or, at the very least, to the Note. Thanks!

4. Search for settings

   with increasing functionality the number of options in settings tend to increase. With more settings searching for a specific setting becomes more tedious.
   Many programs now have search functions for their settings so I can find a specific setting quickly. It would be great if you added that to The Brain.

5. Context-sensitive delimiter other than a comma please.

   Being able to customize the "comma" delimiter would help provide clarity and identify purpose.

   Thought > Child or Child > Thought

   with other symbols like / @ $ or whatever.

6. 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.).

7. Keep prompt input with output of AI

   working with AI in the note section: when I customize a prompt I get an output however my prompt is invisible. For later actions I would like to remember how I formulated my prompt. So it would be of great help if the output would start with repeating my prompt.

8. Future vision of TheBrain and AI

   I already made a comment on another post but I thought it would maybe be also worth as a own post.

   It seems to me that TheBrain project seems to focus on utility and beeing an organize your tasks and thoughts project, because it can not really compete with normal AI as a knowledgebase and it shouldn't. But I think there could be an awesome way for the future to share your thoughts with others:

   I was interested in making my own AI and it is quite a hard task if you have some unconventional view on something, but in the end that would be of value.
   In a world where you can get any common knowledge within seconds from an AI, what good is the human brain anymore?

   Lets say you have some unconventional idea and you want to share your personal brain with others. For example:

   Salt is bad for health. Maybe you think its good and want to start a brain to make research and gather a lot of opinions and data.

   Now you start creating your TheBrain over some time and take into consideration different experts and aspects. You look into nature and observe animals or even your own bodies cravings after a sauna session. Let your Brain grow with different views. Your views. Come to your own conclusions and share them with others.
   Here comes AI into play. AI should be used to understand your brain and your connections. In order to do this, an AI has to be trained and in this training has learned a lot of "bias". In this example that maybe salt is bad like sugar.
   The AI should prioritize your logic and conclusions over the basic training.

   The advantage that a future version of TheBrain would have over AI is exactly this. The human again, that can question common misconceptions and share it with others. The people that can access this information utilize a chat bot that give them answers in this way.

   Who would need this?
   Basically any person that prefers his own experience/knowledge over AI common knowledge and wants to share that with other people in form of a chat interface

   Maybe the salt example was not perfect but I can see a lot of other potential uses for this:

   • People in the medical field that prefer certain uncommon meds or treatments (Ivermectin)
   • Homeschooling teachers organizing and sharing their curriculum/knowledge
   • Investors and their thoughts they want to share
   • experience with different herbs, meds etc - No recommendations ofc
   • your training methods
   • basically anything you have experience with and do not agree with the common AI answer and want to share it in a more deeply manner

9. I can print a quick todo list - CTRL (CMD) + P before a meeting?

   When I export .PDF or .HTML the little todo square list items - do not show up for print - missing both in .PDF and .HTML-

   but I wondered why not CTRL (CMD) + P just the selected text directly from the content - the only work arround seems to screen capture and then print - but my "system 1" wants to save seconds in a busy moment before a meeting

10. Dependency Status Indicators (with Jump-Link Propagation)

    I’d like to see a simple “dependency status” feature in TheBrain where thoughts representing materials, tools, equipment, or consumables can be marked as OK, Low, or Unavailable. If any of these become unavailable, that status would automatically propagate through all connected thoughts — including parent AND jump links — and visually flag any process or project that depends on them. This would make blocked workflows instantly obvious and give TheBrain lightweight, built-in dependency awareness without adding UI bloat.

    Core Idea

    Allow any thought to carry a status flag:

    OK

    Low / Running Out

    Unavailable / Broken

    When a dependency goes Low or Unavailable:

    Its connecting links turn yellow or red

    The dependent thought receives a small indicator

    Status rolls upward through parent links and jumps

    Higher-level processes see the issue instantly, even across long or complex graphs

    This adds simple, powerful workflow intelligence without changing how people build their brains.

    Why It’s Useful

    Many users track projects, builds, inventories, and workflows that rely on materials or tools. When a required item is depleted or broken, the task becomes blocked — but TheBrain currently has no way to reflect that automatically.

    This feature solves that cleanly, visually, and without extra complexity.

    Examples
    Maker / DIY

    If “Build CNC Jig” depends on “¼" MDF” and the MDF is out of stock, the MDF thought flags unavailable. The status automatically propagates through normal and jump links back to the project, turning the project’s dependency links red so you can see instantly why it’s blocked.

    Business / Workflow

    If a “Client Proposal” depends on a “Pricing Spreadsheet” and the file becomes outdated or missing, the proposal thought and its jump links show the blocked state without digging.

    Maintenance / Operations

    If “Pump Service Task” depends on an “O-ring Kit” that’s depleted, the service task highlights the issue through all connected paths.

    Research / Knowledge Work

    If a “Whitepaper Draft” depends on a “Key Source PDF” and that source is unavailable, the draft thought shows the break in its chain immediately.

    Summary

    A lightweight, visual dependency status system — propagating through standard and jump links — would let TheBrain clearly show when a process, task, or project is blocked by a missing or impaired component. Simple to understand, powerful in practice, and fully in line with TheBrain’s visual relationship model.

    I’d like to see a simple “dependency status” feature in TheBrain where thoughts representing materials, tools, equipment, or consumables can be marked as OK, Low, or Unavailable. If any of these become unavailable, that status would automatically propagate through all connected thoughts — including parent AND jump links — and visually flag any process or project that depends on them.

11. 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.

12. New feature: custom font

    To the dev team: 

    All the bundled fonts are for English. So  this is not friendly for the Chinese content .

    Can you add  some opensource Chinese font as the bundled font

    Eg.    https://github.com/lxgw/LxgwWenKai/tree/main/fonts/TTF

    The above font is An unprofessional open-source Chinese font.

    Or can you  add the function to import the custom font, then use the uploaded font for the content in Note panel?

    Thanks a lot.

16. 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 way how it should work, it decreases the value and effectiveness totally.

17. 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 to toggle sync frequency (manual, continuous, daily, weekly, etc)
    • These capabilities should scale to any number of brains containing the synced thought
    • The dynamic thought syncing must be driven through the desktop app only to permit local brains that do not have online access to sync thoughts with local brains that do also have online access.
    • Enable thought content granularity to sync only specific thought content from the initial thought in a local brain depending on toggle:
      • Sync all internal thought files
      • Manually select internal attachments to sync between thoughts in local brains
      • Select the [n] most recent files
      • Select files modified in the last [d] days or [m] months
    • All the above functions enabled through a "SyncLync" feature that can be triggered by dragging and dropping a thought between brains or menu command; each opening a dialog box for specific details, like the Event popup for Timeline in TB14. See the corresponding forum post here: https://forums.thebrain.com/post/dynamic-thought-syncing-between-local-brains-13534311

    I often highlight certain phrases with a specific color, like a highlighter.

    I would like to be able to copy the font color and font background color format, then paste it to other text.

    Ideally, the text formatting should also be saved as a preference that can be implemented on any text.
