  1. The integrated text editor ("Edit as text") supports the code block language identifier (language tag / info string):

    ```json
    { "a": 42 }
    ```
    

    But after saving and exiting the editor, the closing fence is stripped:

    ```json
    { "a": 42 }
    

    and markup is broken.

    This behavior destruct markdown markup in pasted text.

  4. It would be very cool to be able to switch between:
    Cerebro TheBrain LLM utility
    API via (multiple) user LLM accounts
    Local API for offline LLM use

    The switching should be:
    Online Cerebro running out of periodic token quota
    Cerebro triggered by saved script or real time instruction
    Cerebro triggered by conditional triggers or automatic on user defined triggers
    Button toggled by sidebar / topbar button, sequence entries user defined

  5. It would be nice to set categories for events that we can inherit colours for.
    Currently I have to remember meetings = orange, holidays = green etc.

    I'd like the ability to specify categories (or types, but not linked to Thought Types) for events so I don't have to remember or manually assign the color.

  6. Currently we have the ability to preview the notes by mousing over the note icon on thoughts.
    This request is to add the ability to pin or make permanent on drag.
    Example usage, I want to compare two or three notes:
    I mouseover the note I want first, drag and the note preview becomes a window that has to be closed (normal window buttons appear on the top right). I do this to other notes and compare them.

  8. I suggest to have a Seed Box for all data that are important to catalog but does not have a proper place just yet.

    My Use Case: my marketing work requires me to collect a lot of information (pdf, sheets, docs, slides, video) that might not have clear connection or use just yet... like a list of important online tools, or recent events etc.

    Currently I am using aitable which has intake form that I can fill up and then send it to my main aitable Seed Box database.

    The Benefit of this approach is:
    - I can collect a…

  9. A way to save the To Do's filters such as saving themes, ai scripts etc.
    ie: by type and/or tag. Project Type, Priority Tag, Person Tag etc. Problem to have to re-select all types/tags every time you need to focus on pending tasks of follow ups on a project.

  10. I often use tools other than TheBrain to search the notes in my Brain. The problem is that if I'm searching in, say the Mac's Finder, the search result is nothing but a list of Notes.md files. (see attached)

    I would love it if those files could be named in some way that they could be more easily identifed.

  11. I would like to suggest adding support for user-defined AI scripts that can be integrated into the context menu.

    The idea is simple: allow users to create their own AI actions (using prompts or scripts) and assign them to the right-click menu for selected text. This would make TheBrain's AI much more flexible and adaptable to different workflows.

    This would be especially valuable in TheBrain's built-in web browser. For example, after selecting text on a web page, users could run custom actions such as:

    • Summarize the selected text.
    • Extract key concepts.
    • Generate tags or keywords.
    • Rewrite the text in…

  12. Fix LaTex. It does not work and you know it does not work. It has been a Forum topic for years. And, it cannot be that hard to fix. This has been a problem since I first used theBrain many, many years ago. I am still a theBrain customer. I love everything about theBrain except, because of LaTex, I am continually going to something else (Obsidian is becoming my go to Note manager). I love theBrain and keep my subscription hoping that someday I will be able to use theBrain to manage my math notes.

  14. We need and use alternatives to ChatGPT and Anthropic (BigTech models) in Europe, which is why I suggest integrating Mistral-Vibe with TheBrain.
    https://mistral.ai/products/vibe/
    The French product Mistral-Vibe is GDPR-compliant and offers a wide range of user features even in the free version (custom agents, reminder function, connectors, libraries, etc.) for organizing projects in Mistral. This approach seems to align very well with TheBrain.
    It is likely slightly inferior to ChatGPT and Anthropic in terms of model performance. However, for the average user, the functionality is more than sufficient and satisfying, and it is one of the fastest AI chat programs…

  16. I like to collect screenshots in my notes. Which is useful because it allows me to comment individual shots in one note. All is well and works fine - but I sometimes run into readability problems when TB isn't fullscreen or my notes panes it too small. It would be great if the context menu for images had an option to quickly zoom them out, show them in original size.

  17. When creating a new thought, or pasting an older thought after copying, it would be massively liberating for workflow to be able to set a toggle to manually define thought date.

  19. Several longtime users miss the old built in screenshot / Insert Image workflow.

    The current OS screenshot method works, but it does not feel equal for heavy screenshot users. What used to be one smooth action inside TheBrain now takes more clicks and keypresses, sometimes turning into three or four steps depending on the user’s setup.

    For users who capture images while thinking, writing, researching, or building notes, those extra steps break their flow and slow down a workflow they had built into TheBrain for years.

    Please consider restoring a direct built in screenshot capture option in TheBrain 15, so…

  20. I have a wealth of "Google Alerts" (over 6000 of them).

    Can I import them into a new Brain?

    I'd like to be able to sort and categorize them, and access/use them for content creation ideas.

    Many of them have multiple links to different media sources.
    The ideal new thought would include:
    1. Alert name/Type (e.g.: Shopping Tips)
    2. Alert Date (yyyy/mm/dd)
    3. Alert Title (Initial Cap text)
    4. Alert Link (url)
    5. Alert Media Name (Name/abbreviation of Media Source))
    6. Alert Description (1-2 lines of text or summary text)
