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.

Viewing Images in notes independenly
I like to collect screenshots in my notes. Which is useful because it allows me to comment individual shots in one note. All is well and works fine - but I sometimes run into readability problems when TB isn't fullscreen or my notes panes it too small. It would be great if the context menu for images had an option to quickly zoom them out, show them in original size.

Global Zoom Word Cloud Graph - like in Zettelkasten
Please make it possible to zoom out the Plex, so all Thoughts are visible like "dots" and when I hover over a dot, the thought zooms bigger including the connected Thoughts.
Ideally with the Type and Tags -> like a simple "mouse over effect" that would be great.
Maybe this doesn’t add that much to the use of The Brain, but it would have a visual impact on users of The Brain.
At the moment I solve this with copying the selected thoughts als outline and let Claude Code build a Zoom Cloud Graph.
See the image as an example…4 votes -
Thought Icon Alignment
I would like to request a new feature for the Icon of Thought in the edit section of the software: the ability to adjust or align the image preview.
Currently, the icon often displays the image incorrectly, which is difficult for me due to my OCD. As shown in the attached image, the preview of the girl is incorrectly focused on her chest instead of showing her face, which is the intended subject. Allowing us to precisely adjust the icon's crop or alignment would resolve this issue and greatly improve the editing workflow.

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…

Bring thebrain 14 timeline back
To the TheBrain Team,
Please restore the classic TheBrain 14 bottom timeline view (or provide an option to enable it in TheBrain 15). Many of us relied on that persistent timeline for fast, visual navigation of our work over time, and the current alternatives do not offer the same clarity or efficiency. Bringing this timeline back, even as an optional legacy view, would preserve long‑established workflows and significantly improve usability for long‑time users.
Thank you

Export Files to Single Folder
When explorting files to folders, it would be great to have a checkbox in the dialogue, in additional to "selected files", for "export to a single folder".
Often when I store files, like papers from a conference, in my megabrain, I store as individual thoughts with one file per thought and the thought reflecting the filename. However, when I export a selection, 99+% of the time, I want to export into a single folder. I can't recall ever wanting to export those conference papers for example into 150 folders each with one file.
I've always just naturally had to select…

report results should not have a 1000-hits limit but should show all results
In TB 14 the reports do not have a limit: all thoughts fulfilling the search criteria are shown.
In TB 15 there is a limit and only 1000 results are shown and it is not clear what criterion is for choosing which thoughts are displayed.

Allow a way to Explore (and favorite) Public Brains
Like it was possible in the webbrain.com/explore apparently. Other the listed vs. Unlisted feature doesn't make much of a difference. And allow the search of Public Brains in the Desktop Client, as well as the ability to download them for offline use.

Add Context-sensitive Thought Names functionality to the brain 15
I cannot find the setting to hide the parent thought in context-sensitive child thought names in TheBrain 15. I very much like that economical view and hope it can be added soon if it has not already been added.

AI Prompt Templates
Currently we have the ability to enter a custom prompt, but it's a manual process each time. It would be great to be able save my custom prompts as a template so they can be easily re-used.

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.

Use Cerebro to add events or reminders related to a thought
Use Cerebro to add events or reminders related to a thought. As of .509 we have to manually create a reminder or event related to the selected thought. For example, a reminder to do something related to the note in *** days. This would be much easier if we could say to Cerebro "Set a reminder on the timeline to check on the status of the selected thought".

Manually set thought creation date
When creating a new thought, or pasting an older thought after copying, it would be massively liberating for workflow to be able to set a toggle to manually define thought date.

adding BrainBox to the right click Context menu on web browsers
I think adding BrainBox to the right click Context menu on web browsers would be a great and much needed improvement.
Often times I search and find a link I want to add to Brainbox, but don't want to open the URL. I'm well aware of drag and drop, but that does no good when you use apps in full screen, I'm also aware you can Alt+Tab to TheBrain while in full screen while dragging the link, but if you have a lot of apps open, this is not feasible.
Adding BrainBox to the apps area (See SingleFile) of the…

Another level of Team permission... "drafter / commenter"
I'd like to suggest another level of permission for Team Brain, which I'm considering for a client as an organizational learning tool.
I don't want anybody to be able to change everything, either intentionally or accidentally.
But I want everyone to be able to contribute.
Would a drafter / commenter permission be possible? Where a user could add a thought, but not delete other thoughts? Writer / Administers could edit and add the though.

Display backlinks and mentions in Web Client
I have used The Brain for years, but like many people I can't install programs on my work computer and must rely on the Web Client that syncs with the local installation on my personal computer. Backlinks and mentions are critical features for me, but they are not displayed on the Web Client. I would expect there are many in my situation who really want these features on the Web Client as well. Thanks for considering this.

Improve the timeline feature and add a new chronology feature to the brain map so specific temporal-based relationships can be visualized!
Note: This is a general idea, I'm not suggesting the features should work exactly like how I laid out, but more what end result / function should be strived for (ie. chronologically organizing information in a more selective way)
To provide context:
I'm interested in mapping connections / relationships between individuals. It's very important to be able to do this, as understanding relationships between individuals is critical for analysing potential conflicts of interest, including historically.The individuals are the bedrock "child thoughts" of my brain.
Their parent thoughts will be things which bundle people together such as organisations, movements, maybe…

Dynamic link to MSOffice
It would be very valuable to have a dynamic link capability between Thoughts and elements in MSOffice, especially Outlook. I am not talking about file links, but more like a direct interface so that a person in a Thought can be dynamically linked to their Contact in Office.
