With AI, I want Talk to my Brain
I've been doing this with chatgpt where I add my extensive notes as training data and explore ideas with the AI in a oral conversational level.
the AI reminds me on the notes that I've written down but forgot about and the AI helps me compare and add to the ideas that I have
I'd like to have this feature with TheBrain.

Watched Folder of Markdown Files
Hi all, really excited about the new release. My request involves having a folder on the filesystem that is watched and any markdown files inside this folder are automatically added as children of the folder thought in TheBrain. Ideally, this would also support a kind of bi-directional sync or live view of the markdown files so no matter which tool they are worked on (e.g. TheBrain, markdown editors, etc) the thoughts in TheBrain contain (or can point to and display) the latest version of the file.
I know this has been mentioned a few times in forums but doesn't seem…

add print functionality to the mindmap view
The 'workaround' of taking a screenshot and printing it is NOT suitable. I want to be able to natively print the mind map, several levels deep, on to A3 so it can be added to hardcopy report packs. To get all levels in a screen shot means zooming out, and then taking the screenshot, pasting it into something else and then scale it up to A3. This results in a really poor quality output.

A Linux version of TheBrain for Linux Users
I'm a Linux Fedora Plasma user - a Linux version of TheBrain would be highly useful & more practical to me and potentially several, many others.

Actionable Grid View (as alternative Plex view)
As an alternate to the Plex (I don't see using both at same time) have a filterable list (think simple spreadsheet or grid) where you can filter and sort columns. Columns would be adjustable but at minimum Thought Name, Type, Tags, Create Date, Update Date, Attachment Exists. You would select on the grid and the note would be visible. The idea is you could mass update Tags and Types, or you could rapidly move through a list of notes.
This is discussed here

New Calendar Function
I would actually like to plot out when I created thoughts. It would be a different perspective on my thought creations. I don't need it to connect to an actual calendar item like Google Calendar, I just want to see a dot on a timeline that shows me what thoughts I created on a specific date.
That way, if I know I was working on a project back in April, I can slide the slider to April, then see a set of dots for each thought I created in April. Have it zoom into the day, hour, minute or as…

Generative AI Integration for the whole Brain and its Language
To elevate TheBrain's capabilities in its next version, we propose an advanced integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) that deeply understands and utilizes the application's unique structures—Plex and Notes. This integration aims to transform TheBrain into a more intuitive and powerful tool for knowledge management and creative workflows.
1. Context-Aware AI Agents
a. Deep Integration with Plex and Notes
- Global Contextual Understanding: Enable AI to access and interpret the entire brain's structure, allowing for more coherent and contextually relevant content generation.
- Semantic Awareness: Allow AI to recognize and utilize the relationships between thoughts, enhancing the relevance of generated…

eml (Email) file support
Treat eml files like PDFs. Just show the to, subject, sent date, and body fields as if it were a PDF like document. I know that there have been a number of discussions on this subject, and the hangup seems to come down to issues with an email client. The common denominator is the eml file format. Allow us to attach it to a thought and view it's contents without launching an external app. Let us worry about how we get the eml file in the first place.

Enable opening thought links on iOS via other apps
Please enable opening thought links in TheBrain app on iOS (and Android).
I use e.g. OmniFocus and DevonThink next to TheBrain. On MacOS I can post links to relevant thoughts into those tools and easily access the thoughts as needed.
However, instead of opening in TheBrain, on iOS these links do nothing. This limits cross-app workflows significantly on mobile

After clicking on the local path, the brain appears in the front-end application window, not in the background.

Better mouse hiding (temporary) when using the keyboard.
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…

add a "read-only" mode to the settings for on-line access.
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.

Match web client note formatting with the desktop
Our previous web client faithfully replicated ALL of the note styling and formatting from the desktop.
This duplication was lost with the launch of Vulcan, and I would very much like to see it restored.
This duplication would include:
* All note background colors (including replacing the default grey background)
* All note fonts
* Much, MUCH lighter weight horizontal rules that do not dominate the page3 votes -
Display current page # of attached PDF displayed and page count. Perhaps in the vertical slider or next to printer icon.
Adding footnotes to exported reports/pdf. I understand that MATH functions of laytext work in the notes editor. Could latex functions like \footnote[N]{foot note text} and or \textit{italic text goes here} be added to the report export function. Love the note editor however it does not quite yet replace a word processor. Work around is to write in editors then cut and paste to laytxt.

Keep outlined notes contracted as in Logseq
Note editor should be improved. I’m using Logseq as an outliner instead of the Brain because in TB you can’t contract and expanded outlined Note. The contracted outline will be expanded by default when you open the note again.

iOS Widgets with Thought Note Content or List of Thoughts
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…

Brain Box extension - have two right click options
I am not comfortable with the work flow of BrainBox. I suggest having two right click options (or left click options), one for Add to Brainbox and one for Select Parent thought. This allows the user to chose AT THE TIME OF ACTION, rather than having had to remember to set the setting on the last usage. I do not want Vulcan to open if possible, I would just want a search box, but understand if that can't happen. When using the Extension, I don't want to "be in The Brain", I want to be moving on to the next…
