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.

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.

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…

allow wandering sub-sections of the brain (sub-branches, specific tags/categories etc)
I really love the "wander"-function. And I think TB was also leading the field here, in terms of identifying the critical role of serendipity and re-surfacing, which all other PKMs normall identify very late in their product-cycles (if at all).
This is why I always wished this function would have some more depth, fingrain, and discriminatory abilities – for a somehow 'steered/guided serendipity'.
What I would hope for:
• wandering only certain sub-branches of the brain
• specify criteria for wandering (tags, categories, (fuzzy) search-strings…Thx for considering!

Better PDF handling
When I insert a link that points to a PDF, I'd like to direclty download into Brain/Thought pdf files instead of or in addition to link.
Actually it's possible download it to disk, as it happens in browser, and then attach to the thoughts.And if I open a PDF from a thought and for example make some highlights or add some comments directly from TheBrain, when saving it has to direclty update in the thoughts, not to an external folder.

Open Attachments with "Open with..."
I would like to have the possibility to open attachments with a choice of program, not just the standard program. For example, I want to be able to open pdf-files with Foxit Reader for standard viewing, with pdf24 for editing, with pdf-Arranger, with Drawboard to make annotations.
At the moment, one hast to open the folder containing the attachment and open the attachment with "Open with..." from there.

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 -
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.

Fix LaTex.
Fix LaTex. It does not work and you know it does not work. It has been a Forum topic for years. And, it cannot be that hard to fix. This has been a problem since I first used theBrain many, many years ago. I am still a theBrain customer. I love everything about theBrain except, because of LaTex, I am continually going to something else (Obsidian is becoming my go to Note manager). I love theBrain and keep my subscription hoping that someday I will be able to use theBrain to manage my math notes.

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.

Add Full Callout Menu Keyboard Shortcut
Please add an option to open the full Callout menu via a keyboard shortcut, with support for keyboard navigation of the menu and selection of a type, finally adding the type where the cursor was in the note.

"Composed" view of child thought notes
I would like to optionally select a parent thought and in the content area of that thought TheBrain would show of "composed" view of all the notes from the parent's children. So if thought A has children A1, A2, and A3, with A1 and A3 having content (text, embedded images, diagrams, transcluded thought, etc.) but A2 has none, then the note area of the A's content display would display, in thought order, the contents of A1 and A3. If I manually reorganized the children to the order A2, A3, A1, then the content area of A would also be rearranged.…

Save webpage (reader view) to pdf via Quick Thoughts
I've been using Evernote to save important articles from the web. TB will let you save links easily but they also risk getting deleted/broken.
In order to fully utilize TB as a information hub of your collected materials, you should be able to save dynamic web pages to 'snap shot' knowledge.
The newly Quick thoughts function should just have an option of saving link or content.

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.

spotlight
I would love to be able to search my TheBrain thoughts with the MacOS spotlight search and when clicking on a result to open it up in TheBrain. This would help my workflows tremendously. Please upvote.

Make note links color editable based on thought types etc.
I have thought types for people, organizations, etc. It would be nice if, when I put links to those thoughts into notes, if I were able to adjust their link color based on their thought type.
For example, if I set up People thoughts to be highlighted as green text color in Plex, I also want links to those thoughts in notes to be shown in green instead of the standard link color set up in the notes theme.
In Obsidian, this is possible with a plugin called Supercharged Links ( https://github.com/mdelobelle/obsidian_supercharged_links ).

AI Assistant
Currently AI in the brain can be used to generate thoughts and content within thoughts.
I believe that the next logical step is to get some AI analysis of content and thoughts into The Brain.
I would love to have the ability to click a thought point, and drag as though I were creating or linking a thought. Then when I let go, normally it gives you a "create thought" bubble which lets you either search or name that thought. This could be above, left, or below.
But instead of requiring you to start searching, make the AI do the…
