  1. The iOS To Do List doesn't presently allow sorting by Name or Date Modified like the Mac/Windows version of the To Do List does. It's not even clear what sorting logic the iOS list is currently using ... it seems to put modified thoughts at the bottom, but there are confusing inconsistencies. At the very least, it seems like the iOS To Do List should be sorted by Date Modified by default (with To Dos from the last modified notes at the top).

    Better still would be to allow for a user-controlled sorting choice, either by Name or Date Modified.

  2. Filter a view to show all pending (or checked) to-do items. Currently, the right-panel tells me how many pending to dos there are, but then shows all items, pending and checked. I'd like to see only pending. Or, I'd like to see only checked.

  3. I have a lot of internal documents, many nodes and links. I would like to use some knowledge graph tools to sort and cluster things in ways that can be done with knowledge graphs.

  4. Provide support for X Cards. https://developer.x.com/en/docs/x-for-websites/cards/overview/player-card

    This would allow users to embed Brains or elements of brains perhaps, into posts on X.

    With X Communities beginning to take off, this would make use of TheBrain as a value add to communities.

    This would help on other communities too, like Skool.

  5. You changed the folder names during the TB8 to TB9 update, and I lost all of the links that existed between Word documents that were housed in TB8. So I have to have all my TB8 content in the TB8 structure, and now TB8 isn't supported and doesn't work. So I can only access through Windows Explorer. Please don't repeat this.

  6. Please enhance the notes editor to allow the creation and editing of graphical notes, such as handwritten text or sketches using a stylus.

    It would be fantastic to implement functionality similar to tools like Nebo or OneNote, which enable seamless integration of handwritten notes and drawings. This would significantly enhance the usability and versatility of TheBrain, especially for users who prefer working visually or using a pen (e.g., Wacom Pencil) on tablets.

    Thank you for considering this suggestion!

  7. This functionality would be allow for recurring tasks or scheduled tasks to appear when needed, and stay in the To Do list until clicked/completed. This is a standard feature of all task management software such as apple reminders.

  9. Make any animation/movie file continuously playable in a loop inside Thebrain

    Almost any other software that is able to play movies has an option to loop the file your watching continuously. Not Thebrain... GIF / MP4 / MOV / ... doesn't matter, just add an option to loop the content independent from the platform (browser/desktop) your using, please!

    Best Regards

    Jean-Marc

  10. I'd love to see an iOS widget for TheBrain that displays the note content of a selected thought and another option to list the last x number of created, modified, or accessed thoughts. I'm only asking to show the data. Tapping on the note would bring you to the thought note in TheBrain, and tapping the thought name in the list option would open that thought.

    Apple Notes widgets are excellent examples of a thought note content widgets. I've attached an example of the Thought Note Content.

    Widgets enable background sync for the app on iOS, which could be an…

  12. Inside the notes pane the Ctrl D function inserts the current date within a note. This function should be expanded IMO to allow the user to choose to insert a specified date also rather than being constrained to a current date.

    I would also like to see dates inserted to indicate if they have a linked reference to schedules within the timeline function; and of course throughout TB.

    This just makes sense regarding the UI/UX for connecting to and from as many aspects and areas of our work within TheBrain.

  13. I want to be able to navigate my Brain in no-plex mode without instantly triggering the edit mode everytime I touch the screen. My only option is to log out of TB, which then means I can't see private thoughts etc.

  14. When a bunch of thoughts are added to selection, add a function, "Interlink All Jumps". This would make every thought that are jumps of one thought, link with all the other thoughts in that jump batch. Then when you jumped to another thought, the same jumps are also attached to the newly activated thought, and every thought in that selection.

  16. I'm a primarily keyboard user. My mouse usage is very sparingly. (Keyboard navigation is much faster)

    One of my biggest complaints when using the option "update displayed content on mouse hover or keyboard highlight", is that the mouse location takes precedence.

    The issue is the thoughts content preview doesn't work as expected when navigating with the keyboard. If the mouse happens to already be in the area where another thought comes into during the reposition process after activating a thought, then that thought content is shown. Because the content preview is not the new positioned center thought, but the thought…

  17. I find myself drilling down the Menu Tree:
    Options/*Preferences/Behavior/Activate Last Created Thought
    *Yes there is a short cut (Ctrl+,) to take you to Preferences.
    But I still have to Drill down two more levels and then close the dialog box.
    I find myself toggling this feature on an off more often aa I create more brains.

    When I am doing "Batch Imports" Such as receipts and notes for a thought I like to have it turned off so I stay in the thought I am importing to. This lets me see the imports falling in place in the plex and…

  19. It's common to mistakenly write text realizing it's all the wrong case.

    Let's have the ability to format text to either, ALL CAPS, Sentence caps or other formats, such as is common within Word, Libre Office and other notes editors. Even Mindjet (the dying product) has had this ability for many years.

  20. After the experience of the past 5 years people are moving away from large corporations; they no longer trust them. The drive towards independence and personal control is leading to Increasing numbers of people choosing linux. By releasing a linux version you will grow your business and contribute to greater levels of freedom & autonomy.
