Add Cloud icon variations to be able to see sync status at a glance
I would like to be able to tell sync status just by looking at the Cloud icon. I have attached a visual of one possible solution.
This would be useful in several situations:
• My Brain is having a sync problem, but I don't realize it until days later. This is because I have to click on the little triangle to see the sync status, but there is nothing to prompt me to do that if I assume sync is automatically happening like it usually does.
• I'm stepping away from my desk, and want to make sure my latest…

The brain as a reading tool - able to directly support note-taking process.
--> (1) First of all - visualisation of e-books.
Currently, only PDF files are being visualised in the notes section. All other files are represented by a file name and an icon. In order to become a research and reading platform, more file types must be visualized.
And this is not difficult, as the visualisation code is available in open-source communities for free.
The following document types should be readable within Thebrain application:
type status Importance
PDF is visible, High supports reading
EPUB To add High supports reading🛠 How Hard Would It Be for TheBrain to Add Support? (Chatgpt-answer)

Add API endpoint to add images that are use in a note's markdown.
The /attachments/{brainId}/{thoughtId}/file can be used to upload files. But everything uploaded through that endpoint is visible as an attachment.
Looking at a note with an embedded .png, I saw those are stored in a .data subfolder - so we need a new endpoint (or an enhanced version of the one I mentioned) to allow saving files there.3 votes -
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…

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.

Sort Thoughts by Note word count
Add the ability to sort Thoughts by Note word count (the number of words in a Note associated to a Thought). This way we can immediately tell, among a large number of Thoughts, which have notes with more or less content, thereby determining the importance of the Thought/Note.

iOS: Add Setting to Disable Tap-to-Edit Notes
Frequently, when scrolling through notes on the iOS app, an unintended tap is registered, causing the application to enter edit mode.
I would appreciate the addition of a setting that allows users to disable tap-to-edit functionality, so that entering Edit mode requires using the Pencil button.

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!

Figure out why it crashes constantly when uploading thoughts
I Started a new brain of my hard drive data. I create a thought, then drag & drop the contents of a directory from my computer into the thought. TheBrain crashes multiple times an hour as I do this. Seems to be pretty basic functionality, shouldn't be so buggy.

I can print a quick todo list - CTRL (CMD) + P before a meeting?
When I export .PDF or .HTML the little todo square list items - do not show up for print - missing both in .PDF and .HTML-
but I wondered why not CTRL (CMD) + P just the selected text directly from the content - the only work arround seems to screen capture and then print - but my "system 1" wants to save seconds in a busy moment before a meeting

Future vision of TheBrain and AI
I already made a comment on another post but I thought it would maybe be also worth as a own post.
It seems to me that TheBrain project seems to focus on utility and beeing an organize your tasks and thoughts project, because it can not really compete with normal AI as a knowledgebase and it shouldn't. But I think there could be an awesome way for the future to share your thoughts with others:
I was interested in making my own AI and it is quite a hard task if you have some unconventional view on something, but in…

I really enjoy Cerebro
I have been testing out Cerebro on 15.0.86, and I do believe it is truly a game-changer. The regular brain AI is much less sophisticated and I have found it of limited use. Cerebro, on the other hand, will become a core part of my organizational routine especially as it gets better at searching (finding all relevant thoughts rather than a limited number, etc.).

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

Restore plex and notes zoom.
On 15.0.95.0 running on macOS Sierra desktop plex and notes zoom are missing. No pinch/expand; no Command + "+/-", no dropdown menu picks. If there is a way to control the size of text (other than overriding the screen resolution, which is generally unacceptable), please make it obvious.
Thanks.

Does expand and collapse generations need to be re-activated?
I cannot figure out how to expand and collapse generations in 15.0.95. Has this functionality not migrated to later versions of TheBrain 15? This is a major gap if so.

When hovering over search results show related notes with search term(s) highlighted.
In v.14 this is standard performance so I can see if the related note is what I am looking for.
In v.15 you have to either open one result at the time to see the note content, or add all results to selection and then open them one by one.3 votes -
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".

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.

api endpoint for todo retrieval and update
TheBrain isn't my primary todo location but I find it extremely useful, and lets face it, easy, to add them directly into the thoughts they apply to. But then they are a bit lost for me when managing my day. I want to be able to access them via MCP or API's directly so I can have them as part of my overall task management system. That way Cerebro could also work with them as right now it can't help me even from inside the brain!
