  1. Semantic Processing

    I was excited by the Cerebro in TheBrain 15. Finally, a feature that matches what so many competitors have.

    However, this is not an AI engine. It's a simple integration between TheBrain API and an LLM. It is so frustrating not to be able to search for example 'thoughts about sport'.

    The problem is, I need to know what I am looking for before I start looking for it. Otherwise I can't pass literal information to TheBrain API. This is poor and counterintuitive.

    I asked Cerebro about this and it said, perhaps I can literally search through a list of…

  2. Does expand and collapse generations need to be re-activated?

    I cannot figure out how to expand and collapse generations in 15.0.95. Has this functionality not migrated to later versions of TheBrain 15? This is a major gap if so.

  3. AlthoughTheBrain app on ios updates to version 15.6.1, the Plex fails to display.

    The Plex in the ios app is blank; however, other functionality, BrainBox additions and display, attached notes display, content searches, and synchronization appear to function as expected.

  4. Advanced search - find thoughts that have the same relationships with "n" number of other thoughts

    Implement an "Advanced Search" button/capability where more than one thoughts (or fragments of thought names) can be specified. Example:
    The Adv Srch form would open with one entry: a search box for entry of text, a dropdown button labeled "relationship" with values of parent|child|jump, and a button with a + to add an additional search entry line. Any number of search entry lines could be added. The default would be "all" logic in that the search would return all thoughts for which all the search entries are true. Perhaps an "any" option could/should be included.

    With V15, hero images can now come from thought attachments, but not with JFIF extension.

  6. Make TheBrain dual screen compatible

    Hi, I looked into the roadmap for version 15 and didn't see anything about dual screen support for TheBrain. Let me clarify, of course you can have two screens installed and have TheBrain running. But you can't choose to have the plex on one screen and the notes on another. This way you would be able to expand the visual interaction with both areas to the max.
    I know there is a lot of people out there that are working on multiple screens, wouldn't it be a great idea to have TheBrain expand across your entire screen(s) field? No more…

  8. URL to reference files attached within Notes

    While having the URL of a Thought is fantastic and works well, I would like to see an option to create a URL pointing to data (or a file) in other places, such as Notes. My use case is as follows: I have a QRCode label on my circuit breakers that points to a Thought. I scan the label on my phone, which takes me to that Thought. From there, I navigate to the Notes section and am able to pull up my spreadsheet with circuit information for that panel. Not a HUGE issue, but it would provide ease of…

  9. Search for settings

    with increasing functionality the number of options in settings tend to increase. With more settings searching for a specific setting becomes more tedious.
    Many programs now have search functions for their settings so I can find a specific setting quickly. It would be great if you added that to The Brain.

  10. Context-sensitive delimiter other than a comma please.

    Being able to customize the "comma" delimiter would help provide clarity and identify purpose.

    Thought > Child or Child > Thought

    with other symbols like / @ $ or whatever.

  11. I really enjoy Cerebro

    I have been testing out Cerebro on 15.0.86, and I do believe it is truly a game-changer. The regular brain AI is much less sophisticated and I have found it of limited use. Cerebro, on the other hand, will become a core part of my organizational routine especially as it gets better at searching (finding all relevant thoughts rather than a limited number, etc.).

  12. Keep prompt input with output of AI

    working with AI in the note section: when I customize a prompt I get an output however my prompt is invisible. For later actions I would like to remember how I formulated my prompt. So it would be of great help if the output would start with repeating my prompt.

  13. Future vision of TheBrain and AI

    I already made a comment on another post but I thought it would maybe be also worth as a own post.

    It seems to me that TheBrain project seems to focus on utility and beeing an organize your tasks and thoughts project, because it can not really compete with normal AI as a knowledgebase and it shouldn't. But I think there could be an awesome way for the future to share your thoughts with others:

    I was interested in making my own AI and it is quite a hard task if you have some unconventional view on something, but in…

  14. I can print a quick todo list - CTRL (CMD) + P before a meeting?

    When I export .PDF or .HTML the little todo square list items - do not show up for print - missing both in .PDF and .HTML-

    but I wondered why not CTRL (CMD) + P just the selected text directly from the content - the only work arround seems to screen capture and then print - but my "system 1" wants to save seconds in a busy moment before a meeting

  15. The notes and attachments sections open in separate windows.

    I would like to have the option to split the notes and attachments sections into two separate windows. Often, when taking notes, you have to juggle between the web browser (to open attachments externally) and the Brain. With this setup, you could stay entirely within Brain and continue taking notes without switching context.
    I could even imagine having the attachments section overlay or replace the Plex side panel, allowing full-length display of the attachment while taking notes—all within the same application.

    I believe this would improve the workflow.

  17. Enable manual reordering of thoughts in Outline view

    When brainstorming using the Outline view, the order of the thoughts should be able to be done graphically on the screen using the mouse. This is needed to enable prioritizing ideas. Also thoughts should be able to be elevated or demoted using the mouse.

  18. Making thought-based sharing possible

    Making thought-based sharing possible
    Currently the only way of sharing a brain is by sharing the whole brain with someone else, or make it publically available where the private thoughts won't be visible. It would be very interesting to share individual thoughts that can be added in someone else's brain, without making it public.
    It makes sense, for example, since I could share a project I'm working on with someone else, which is linked to other peojects/people that the other one is not allowed to see (and vice versa).
    Making a new brain and copy the thoughts is not the…

  19. Enable Dynamic Thought Syncing Between Local Brains

    I love the copy local / web thought URL. However, I would like to extend the capability in this direction a bit further.

    I would like to be able to connect thoughts between two or more brains so that they remain in sync with the following functionality:

    • Sync this thought with another brain bi-directionally (latest version sync whichever thought holds last edited version or content)
    • Sync this thought with another brain uni-directionally (the identical thought in the other brain always acts as a backup)
      • For backup mode, define a number of copies of changed content within the thought
    • Be able…
