  1. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Make the dropdown sizeable (default takes up too much visual space for me...), and what happened to the "drag & Drop" capabilitiy?

  5. I am new to this group/ app so hopefully I am submitting this correctly. So far I am loving the ability for this app to customize so many things. To that end....

    When we are viewing an Unlinked Mention in the Content/ Note area the Unlinked Mention shows up with a dotted underline. I would like to be able to make this pop up more so that it will grab my attention a little more. Would love to have a setting that would let us change the colour on the Inline Unlinked Mentions dotted underline. Similar to how we can…

  6. We use Microsoft's SharePoint for our business file platform. Very frequently, I'd like to drag a file - or hyperlink - directly into a Thought Note (or as a related Thought).

    See attached video...despite looking hopeful (TB 15.0.586 and previous versions) by recognizing a drag/drop is in progress, nothing gets processed in TB.

    Currently, I either copy the hyperlink and manually paste the hyperlink or download the file to C: and then move it into TB (I usually want the file not the hyperlink, but sometimes I compromise with the hyperlink because it's faster). My expectation is either the file…

  8. With v15, when I open settings from within a brain, it only remembers the "layout spacing" for that brain on the device on which it's loaded. This means I need to open every brain on every device and adjust the layout spacing which is tedious.

    An option to push layout spacing to all devices across all brains would be ideal.

  9. 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…

  10. 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…

  11. 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.

  12. 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…

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  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. 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.

  19. I only see this in Workflowy and for me and many of my colleagues it works extremely well. I do hope my "burning the midnight oil" doesn't make this idea seem totally silly. Oh boy!

  20. This is an old idea/request: Please make it possible to generate a report for thoughts with links to external files that do not exist at that location any more.
    This is a must have for me.
    Also a report for broken URL attachments would be nice.
    I guess, the process of generating this report would be slow, but it would be worth the wait.
