  1. I use supertypes and tags to order types and tags in the plex and pulldown menu. We can now order how these are displayed in the plex, but the order in the pulldown remains alpha. It'd be nice if the pulldown ordering reflected the ordering in the plex.
    The screenshot illustrates this.
    Thanks for considering.

  2. Like Claude, ClickUp BrainMax, etc. you can use the Ai Chat (and ClickUp Ai Super Agents) to take action on your tools like Dropbox, Metricool, Shopify, etc., via MCP connections.

    I want Cerebro to be like this, to integrate and control my tools right next to where we strategize. This will help us all take action faster than ever before.

  4. Brainbox is no long available on my ios devices. My standard workflow is to capture links to news articles that I then post to thought in my brain. Doing that with Quick Thoughts is cumbersome, I have to open the link, then copy, then post. At least provide "Add URL" capabilities to Quick Thoughts

  5. Enable the Card View to only display a thought and its child thoughts organized in a hierarchical order. Activate this by right clicking on a thought in card view and show just the child thoughts.

  6. De addition of Mermaid diagrams is a great thing for the content area but it lacks one big feature... You can't click on anything inside of the diagram to establish a link with it's content.
    One practical example would be:
    You ask Cerebro to make a downward hierarchy about the current thought represented in a mindmap structure x levels deep (deeper than what you can see at this point). By adding the possibility to click on either mindmap node (Cerebro created) and go to that node/thought in your brain instantly you would have added (in no time) a visual summary…

  7. I've been using Evernote to save important articles from the web. TB will let you save links easily but they also risk getting deleted/broken.

    In order to fully utilize TB as a information hub of your collected materials, you should be able to save dynamic web pages to 'snap shot' knowledge.

    The newly Quick thoughts function should just have an option of saving link or content.

  8. The content of the cells of tables is always centered vertically. It's not possible to set valign to 'top' by inserting code in the Text view of a note; the code is rejected.

    I use tables to compare several language versions of a text and aligning the beginning of each text bite at the same hight would be very helpful.

  9. Would be nice to be able to clear / delete ones timeline in the card view. Like when you clear the history cache in the browser. E.g. if you've imported many thoughts and then deleted some of them it fills unnessarily the timeline with too much.

  10. I wrote an email to TheBrain's support team yesterday inquiring about how AI API works in this app. Essentially, I praised them for the app itself (which is fantastic), but I expressed how the only thing that keeps me from using its AI chat (Cerebros) is how it seemingly only supports OpenAI's models. I genuinely don't want OpenAI and its models to meddle with my projects, so I inquired about the possibility of supporting local models or API keys from other services, companies.. (with OpenRouter being my biggest recommendation).

    Steven Rico (Part of TheBrain Support, God bless his soul) replied…

  11. Add a “Copy” button for TheBrain code blocks and callouts in their top-right corner were very handy.

    Unfortunately, this feature doesn’t seem to currently apply to TheBrain.

    It would be great if support could be added.

    A sample of implementation : https://github.com/jdbrice/obsidian-code-block-copy

  12. Since the Quick Thought widget is gradually replacing (or maybe merging with) Brain Box, it would be a very useful feature to be able to send content to the Quick Thought client via the macOS share sheet. Examples:

    • select text on a web page, or in a document, or in any app that supports the share sheet, and send that thing to Quick Thought for later editing or/and addition to a Brain
    • same, except share a file from Finder via Quick Thought for later attachment to a thought in a Brain

    Essenential to this be useful is the ability to…

  13. I would like to configure a thought to subscribe to an RSS feed. TheBrain when the sync button is clicked would download new thoughts for each new item in the feed. A configuration option could possibly limit the updates to X number of items so as not to flood TheBrain with child thoughts.

  14. Current visualisation problem:
    Dense or large brains make it difficult to remember where the current view sits within the overall knowledge structure. Conventional zoom mainly changes scale; it does not adapt the amount or meaning of information shown, so large views become cluttered and small views become uninformative.

    Proposed improvement:
    Provide a persistent, interactive mini-map showing the whole brain or selected region, the current viewport, major clusters, and the active thought. Make zoom levels semantic: show detailed thoughts nearby, summarized groups at medium scale, and major domains or supernodes at global scale.

    Expected benefit:
    Users retain global orientation, recover context…

  15. Two or three versions ago (currently on 15.0.640.0, whenever I would scroll down the list of parents to the current thought and picking the parent I'm interested in, the list of parents would remain where I scrolled it to. Now, the list of parents jumps back to the top of the list after I make my selection. I really don't want to have to keep scrolling down every time. This is all in the plex view.

  16. Before this latest update (15.0.640.0), in the plex when adding a linked thought, the search term used was kept after the search was completed. In this update, that functionality was removed. I would like it back.

  17. Recent versions of TheBrain have added customizable fonts for many parts of the app, but this doesn't yet include the monospace font used for inline code and code editors nor the modal Mermaid source editor.

  18. LOVE the new Callout feature! I regularly have thoughts to capture meeting notes or notes from presentations. It would be useful and nice to have a callout with an icon of a person (?) to capture the names of speakers or meeting attendees. This would be a way to highlight and keep them separate from the base notes.

  19. I would like to optionally select a parent thought and in the content area of that thought TheBrain would show of "composed" view of all the notes from the parent's children. So if thought A has children A1, A2, and A3, with A1 and A3 having content (text, embedded images, diagrams, transcluded thought, etc.) but A2 has none, then the note area of the A's content display would display, in thought order, the contents of A1 and A3. If I manually reorganized the children to the order A2, A3, A1, then the content area of A would also be rearranged.…

  20. Please add a setting that allows users to display times in the Timeline and Reminders using the 24-hour format, e.g. 13:00 instead of 1:00 PM.
    The existing custom date/time format for notes does not affect the Timeline or Reminders. Ideally, this should follow the user’s regional settings or be configurable independently.
