This functionality would be allow for recurring tasks or scheduled tasks to appear when needed, and stay in the To Do list until clicked/completed. This is a standard feature of all task management software such as apple reminders.

iOS To Do List Sorting/Filtering
The iOS To Do List doesn't presently allow sorting by Name or Date Modified like the Mac/Windows version of the To Do List does. It's not even clear what sorting logic the iOS list is currently using ... it seems to put modified thoughts at the bottom, but there are confusing inconsistencies. At the very least, it seems like the iOS To Do List should be sorted by Date Modified by default (with To Dos from the last modified notes at the top).
Better still would be to allow for a user-controlled sorting choice, either by Name or Date Modified.

Bigger max range for Timeline
At the moment the biggest unit on the screen when you max zoom out is year. Should be at least century! I understand that most of the people are rarely need more than a year of navigation, but for historical events it would be so nice to have at least an option to have several centuries on screen!

Add indents, lines, or bullets between items in a Table of Contents
When items in a Table of Contents wrap to two or more lines, it can be difficult to distinguish between the different items in the list.
I suggest adding formatting that makes it easier to see where each new item begins. I've attached a few possibilities.

Retain status of heading folding state in notes
Currently when you fold a heading the information under it is hidden (standard behavior).
However, when you navigate away from the thought and then activate it again, all headings are expanded. It would be nice if the fold status of headings is saved with the note it retains fold status after navigating away.

Make the lines of a YouTube video's table of contents “clickable/usable”
Make the lines of a YouTube video's table of contents “clickable/usable”
Just as an example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTSRx78Aac8
When you click on this link, you will see a YouTube video – like millions of others. Then click on “More” and you will (hopefully) see a few lines that represent the content of the video (like a table of contents) and the corresponding time code at the beginning of each line.
This makes it easy to jump to a specific point in a longer video.
I would be delighted if theBrain would one day retain these links when I insert text like this…2 votes -
Text color style format copy/paste
Able to copy and then paste a color style format that has been implemented on to text and its background.
I often highlight certain phrases with a specific color, like a highlighter.
I would like to be able to copy the font color and font background color format, then paste it to other text.
Ideally, the text formatting should also be saved as a preference that can be implemented on any text.

Dependency Status Indicators (with Jump-Link Propagation)
I’d like to see a simple “dependency status” feature in TheBrain where thoughts representing materials, tools, equipment, or consumables can be marked as OK, Low, or Unavailable. If any of these become unavailable, that status would automatically propagate through all connected thoughts — including parent AND jump links — and visually flag any process or project that depends on them. This would make blocked workflows instantly obvious and give TheBrain lightweight, built-in dependency awareness without adding UI bloat.
Core Idea
Allow any thought to carry a status flag:
OK
Low / Running Out
Unavailable / Broken
When a dependency goes…

URL to reference files attached within Notes
While having the URL of a Thought is fantastic and works well, I would like to see an option to create a URL pointing to data (or a file) in other places, such as Notes. My use case is as follows: I have a QRCode label on my circuit breakers that points to a Thought. I scan the label on my phone, which takes me to that Thought. From there, I navigate to the Notes section and am able to pull up my spreadsheet with circuit information for that panel. Not a HUGE issue, but it would provide ease of…

UI101: Closing Pop-up Windows
It would be helpful to add the usual "X" button for "Close Window" to the pop-up windows of the commands "Add Attachment/Add from Brainbox..." and "Add Attachmen/Add File from Template...". I know, one can use ESC, but having a "X" button for closing a window is an almost universal standard that everybody knows.

Themes as a thought property, including background
We can assign backgrounds to thoughts using the Typing system (meh), but you have to be careful that all backgrounds work with within the applied theme (or else your text might become ineligible). That's because the theme is applied globally, while backgrounds are not.
The solution is to allow themes on a finer grained scale, like at the typing system level (to match backgrounds as it work now) or on selected thoughts basis.

MD Types for Thought types
For a thought type - e.g. Citation I would like to have a citation MD which will be preperated like a formula
Author:
Titel:
Pages
etc.This should be the default MD for the specific type.
Or a possibility to create Default MDs for special thoughts, which could be added via Add Attachment/Add Special MD File. The default blank MD File should be replaced with this special md file
The default MD file should be replaced, with the MD type file, because I would like to see it clicking on the thought without the necessity of a further selection.

UI enhancements to the AI note generation
Have a text box to add some text at the bottom of AI generated content. For me it would be "Generated by $model on $date". Ideally those would fill in
For Length of AI, a slider is not a good interface. Replace with Radio buttons giving easy access to different lengths. See screen shot
https://forums.thebrain.com/post/feedback-word-count-on-ai-9841-9930-9931-12744381Add a checkbox to optionally have AI add a Wikipedia link and maybe some other common ones. I often type this in and its helpful to get this link automatically.

Repeat Screen Shot to Note at same size
When watching presentations in meetings or webinars, I often want to repeatedly screen capture into notes. Sometimes slides are moving fast and I don't have time to drag the screen shot window evertime.
As a user, I would like to have a command that Repeats Previous Screenshot and adds to current note.This is discussed here
