1. Global ToDo List

   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 is managing to-dos. Because to-do activities are confined to an individual Brain, I cannot see all my outstanding tasks in one consolidated list where I can review and prioritize them across clients.

   TheBrain 15 already allows me to search across all my Brains for thoughts and files. It seems that the same cross-Brain capability could support a global to-do view. This would allow me to see, filter, and prioritize to-dos from every Brain in one place while each task remains associated with its original Brain.

   I believe this would make the multiple-Brain workflow substantially more useful. I hope you’ll consider adding it to a future release.

   Thank you for considering the feedback, and congratulations on TheBrain 15.

2. Spatial positioning of Thoughts in Outline view

   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 positioned farther away could indicate conceptual distance. Even when the formal relationships are identical, their placement could show that I see some Thoughts as more central to the subject than others.

   It would be especially valuable during brainstorming sessions, discussions, workshops, and when exploring a topic from multiple perspectives. Instead of only reading Thoughts as a hierarchy or linear outline, you could temporarily organize them spatially to see patterns, clusters, distance, and different viewpoints.

   A “Reset layout” button could return all Thoughts to their normal Outline positions at any time. This means the spatial arrangement would not alter the actual structure of the Brain—it would simply provide a temporary, flexible way to think with and arrange existing Thoughts.

   In short: the relationships define how Thoughts are connected, while their temporary spatial position helps express how they relate conceptually within a particular discussion or train of thought.

3. Settable pdf view zoom default value to other than 100% settable value like 125%, and center visible text in view window.

   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.

4. Meeting transcription

   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 becomes searchable and linkable, so I can connect key moments in the transcript to other Thoughts in my Brain

   Why it matters for TheBrain specifically: TheBrain's whole value is contextual linking. A meeting transcript that's just a flat text file is far less useful than one that's a first-class Thought — connected to the people, projects, and decisions it relates to. Native transcription would let meetings become part of the actual knowledge graph instead of sitting outside it.

   Comparable feature: Tana currently offers this — record and auto-transcribe within the app, with the resulting text becoming structured, linkable nodes.

5. Enable voice inputs?

   On OSX and IOS no changes should be necessary, although some instructions on how to set it up may be required.

6. Implement Ctrl-F/Cmd-F in the Embed thought.

   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.

7. Clone (Mirror) attachments within a Brain

   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!

8. Detector for broken links to external files

   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.

9. A Better way to Segment Brains

   By allowing Cutting and Pasting and maintaining links to other brains, which otherwise would require a huge manual effort and the risk of potentially loose data or at least have a lot of duplication.

   Alternatively a way to sync sections between brains could be an option.

10. 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.
