  1. Option to sort the search results according to date accessed etc.

    At the moment I am not sure how the search results that the search/create field returns are sorted. To me the search order does not make much sense and the thought that I search is somewhere in the middle hidden between thoughts that are not relevant.
    It would be nice to be able to choose the sort order according to date accessed or alphabetically. Additional options could be relevant for other users.

  2. Implement the possibility for choosing how report results are sorted

    At the moment it is not clear to me how the thoughts in the result for reports are ordered.
    I would like to be able to sort them alphabetically, or according to date created/modified/accessed.

  3. report results should not have a 1000-hits limit but should show all results

    In TB 14 the reports do not have a limit: all thoughts fulfilling the search criteria are shown.

    In TB 15 there is a limit and only 1000 results are shown and it is not clear what criterion is for choosing which thoughts are displayed.

  4. 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…

  5. 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.

  8. Do more with the thought appearances.

    Hi,

    Being a veteran mindmap builder I like to put lots of colours in my brains. Especially the text colours of thoughts I like to differentiate a lot (as well as the background colours).

    A couple of things bother me on that level:
    First: The labels can't have the colour of the thought (...or a different colour)
    Second: In the notes area of a thought, it's name and label are not inheriting the allocated colours of the thought text.

    This would greatly enhance the unity feeling of the whole. You can choose for hero icons in the note but it…

  12. 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.

  13. Thought Icon Alignment

    I would like to request a new feature for the Icon of Thought in the edit section of the software: the ability to adjust or align the image preview.

    Currently, the icon often displays the image incorrectly, which is difficult for me due to my OCD. As shown in the attached image, the preview of the girl is incorrectly focused on her chest instead of showing her face, which is the intended subject. Allowing us to precisely adjust the icon's crop or alignment would resolve this issue and greatly improve the editing workflow.

  14. 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…

  15. Global Zoom Word Cloud Graph - like in Zettelkasten

    Please make it possible to zoom out the Plex, so all Thoughts are visible like "dots" and when I hover over a dot, the thought zooms bigger including the connected Thoughts.
    Ideally with the Type and Tags -> like a simple "mouse over effect" that would be great.
    Maybe this doesn’t add that much to the use of The Brain, but it would have a visual impact on users of The Brain.
    At the moment I solve this with copying the selected thoughts als outline and let Claude Code build a Zoom Cloud Graph.
    See the image as an example…

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. The screen is filled with thought text name (large, no control over size) no way to access my note-bug?

    Hi, iOS (26.4.2) on iPhone (13 Pro) issue (though is see it also on the macOS desktop app).
    I can’t access the note. The screen is showing mainly the thought name and the bottom menu items cover the tip of the note. No way the decrease thought name text size. Not sure if a bug or per design.

    To replicate go to Instagram, select

    https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIhiAPXR6QO/?igsh=bG4xM3ZwZ21ybXg4

    and share to BrainBox. Then import from BrainBox to a thought. The import process creates this thought name and note with the link to Instagram-All good and desired.
    Nevertheless, it is totally nonfunctional. Due to…
