  1. Slash command when creating thoughts for quick add of tag/type

    Sometimes adding new thoughts and you want to go quickly - this would help.

    I know there are keyboard shortcuts, but these are often sometimes not the easiest to establish ( and I for one am always having them clash with other apps -on a Mac). Many other apps now have slash command as a quick entry means. This would help.

  7. I have a wealth of "Google Alerts". can I bring them into a new Brain?

    I have a wealth of "Google Alerts" (over 6000 of them).

    Can I import them into a new Brain?

    I'd like to be able to sort and categorize them, and access/use them for content creation ideas.

    Many of them have multiple links to different media sources.
    The ideal new thought would include:
    1. Alert name/Type (e.g.: Shopping Tips)
    2. Alert Date (yyyy/mm/dd)
    3. Alert Title (Initial Cap text)
    4. Alert Link (url)
    5. Alert Media Name (Name/abbreviation of Media Source))
    6. Alert Description (1-2 lines of text or summary text)

  9. Better documentation for Reports in TheBrain 15 - need better examples for the new Report UI

  10. Allow Custom AI Scripts in the Context Menu

    I would like to suggest adding support for user-defined AI scripts that can be integrated into the context menu.

    The idea is simple: allow users to create their own AI actions (using prompts or scripts) and assign them to the right-click menu for selected text. This would make TheBrain's AI much more flexible and adaptable to different workflows.

    This would be especially valuable in TheBrain's built-in web browser. For example, after selecting text on a web page, users could run custom actions such as:

    • Summarize the selected text.
    • Extract key concepts.
    • Generate tags or keywords.
    • Rewrite the text in…

  11. Save To Do Filters.

    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.

  13. Add the Ability to Pin the Note Preview

    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.

  16. FR - Inline Unlinked Mentions with Colour Settings

    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…

  17. Sharepoint - file or hyperlink drag and drop

    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…

  19. Adjusting settings: Layout spacing

    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.
