Hide thoughts by type
It would be great if we could use thought types to filter the plex and turn off selected types.

Allow Thought Type Icons to Overwrite All Other Icons By Default
All of my thought types have assigned icons.
When I add a type to a thought, I would like to have a preference setting that would allow this assigned icon to automatically overwrite any other current thought icons (links, documents, images, etc.)
We used to have a similar option in previous versions of TheBrain, and I would like to see this option restored.
Thanks in advance.

Implement Ctrl-F/Cmd-F in the Embed thought.
Feature request: Ctrl-F/Cmd-F search currently doesn't reach the note content of embedded Thoughts. Since Embed is a new feature, could search indexing be extended to include embedded Thought notes? Right now a Thought's content becomes invisible to search once it's embedded inside another Thought, which is easy to miss when relying on Cmd-F to relocate something.

Checkboxes and Checkcircles
What if TheBrain had two different check controls: checkboxes and checkcircles?
☐ Checkbox = Todo - Works as it does now and appears in TheBrain's Todo list.
◯ Checkcircle = non-Todo - You can check and uncheck it just like a checkbox, but it never appears in the Todo list.
Sometimes a checkable item isn't something you need to do. It might represent a status, condition, or progress. For example:
☐ Contact vendor about outstanding check
◯ Check has cleared the vendor's bankOr you might have a list of book chapters that you want to check off as you…

Meeting transcription
I'd like to request native audio recording and transcription for meetings directly within TheBrain.
The need: I'm transitioning from Tana to TheBrain, and one feature I rely on heavily is the ability to record a meeting and have it automatically transcribed — without needing a separate app. This keeps meeting notes tied directly to my workflow instead of living in a disconnected tool.
What I'm asking for:
- A record button within a Thought (or a dedicated "Meeting" note type) that captures audio live
- Automatic transcription of that recording, attached to the same Thought
- Ideally, the transcript text…1 vote -
... (re-)introduce an enhanced version of the "living table of contents" from version 14.
In version 14, we had the ability to create a living table of contents, allowing us to quickly jump back and forth between different headings. Unfortunately, this feature was not carried over to V15.
As a result, I now read structured documents almost exclusively in Obsidian, where an outline is generated automatically—and, conveniently, displayed in a sidebar. It doesn’t get any more convenient than that.
(LibreOffice Writer and Typora can do this in Markdown, too.)BTW: This is also the reason why lengthy legal documents always need to be bookmarked.

Add the ability to link to a brain using a custom domain.
I am not sure how feasible this is, but it would be great to be able to use a custom domain directing to a specific brain. The current address to a thought in any brain is meaningless to the casual user. It would be an advantage if a custom domain could link to say the thought name. Not sure if this is possible, but it would be extremely useful.

Thought Type and Keyword Filter
It should definitely be possible to filter and display thought types and keywords. So far, you always see all of them from the entire Brain. That's very impractical.
I only want to see the thought types or keywords associated with a specific thought or area.

Allow Reordering Note Text Actions Above Keyboard on Mobile
Please allow the ability to customize the order of the Note text actions on mobile.
I use Indent and Outdent more than any others, and it's frustrating to open the dialog repeatedly when cleaning up notes on mobile.

create timeline event from date text selection
In the content panel selecting an obvious date like "Jul 24, 2024" or "7/24/2024", that either through the context menu or hotkey, it opens up the Timeline Event creation dialog entry on THAT date.
I have content with many, many dates and it would be wonderful to optimize this adding process.
There is SO much you could do with the Timeline feature, but I will keep my request manageable :)
I understand the complexities of detecting dates from a String, so even if there are strict rules about when it would detect or the string pattern format required for detection…

Settable pdf view zoom default value to other than 100% settable value like 125%, and center visible text in view window.
PDF view Preference setting zoom default to settable value other than 100% perhaps 125%, also center visible text in view window. Save multiple zoom and center clicks, makes better use of screen and reduce eye strain.

Spatial positioning of Thoughts in Outline view
I would love to have the ability to temporarily position Thoughts freely within the Outline view, almost like sticky notes on a canvas.
The relationships between the Thoughts would remain unchanged—a Thought would still be a child, parent, sibling, or jump Thought—but its visual position could be changed independently. For example, I could place a central Thought in the middle and arrange related Thoughts around it in a circle, creating something like a constellation or solar system of Thoughts.
This would add a spatial layer to thinking. Thoughts placed close together could represent a strong connection or relevance, while Thoughts…

需要一个全局的视图
我们需要一个全局的视图，就像Obsidian的关系图谱一样，这样可以很直观的感受到我的TheBrain中有多少个想法，给人一种直观地感受。当然，我觉得Obsidian中的图谱，最大的作用就是感知笔记的数量。而在TheBrain中，目前的视图的确很好，但都只是局限于局部关系的图示。
We need a global view, something like the relationship charts provided by Obsidian. This would allow us to easily understand how many Thoughts exist in TheBrain, giving us a clear and intuitive sense of the overall situation. Of course, I believe that the most important function of the charts in Obsidian is to help us keep track of the number of notes involved. In TheBrain, the current view is indeed useful, but it still only shows a limited representation of relationships between individual items.3 votes -
A whiteboard diagram type
Add a whiteboard diagram type. This would be especially useful on iOS / iPadOS so that we could use the Pencil (or alternative on Android, etc.) to sketch out ideas. At this time, we can do that in a separate app and copy an image to paste into the thought. But, I would be more useful to create and edit the whiteboard from TheBrain itself.

A built‑in date (or datetime) field on each thought
1.
Optional “Thought Date” field
- Set via a date/time picker on the thought.
- Supports just a date or full datetime.
2.
Sorting children by Thought Date
- Parent thoughts can choose to sort children by:
** Thought Date (ascending/descending)
** Or by name (current behavior).- This would let me maintain a clean chronological hierarchy without having to put the date at the start of the thought name.
3.
Display options
- Choose whether to:
** Show the date in the name (prefix/suffix/hidden), or
** Show it as a separate metadata field in the UI.3 votes -
Global ToDo List
Since the launch of TheBrain 15, I’ve started using TheBrain differently, and I absolutely love the change.
Historically, I maintained one large Brain rather than creating separate Brains for individual clients. The single-Brain approach was valuable for searching across everything, but its size sometimes made information difficult to find and navigate.
With TheBrain 15, I now maintain a separate Brain for each client. When I’m working with a client, I can open that Brain and immediately have all the relevant information in front of me. It is a much cleaner and more effective way to work.
My one significant challenge…

Use another port than 8000 for Thebrain
Use another port than 8000 for Thebrain, as this port is already widely used by PHP, Python, Django for localhost servers.
