There’s a good Markdown App Taio only works on Apple, you guys should acquire and integrate the two as stand alone apps or sync and heavily
Taio is pretty much one of the few apps you can copy from AI like Perplexity and Copilot, if pastes as a markdown with * all over, by changing the view type it’s clean and can be copied into word etc.. love their box for code, clean and neat, lots of different types of code to choose from

Connection per API with Citavi (Literature administration).
Citavi is widely used as a reference management tool in academic environments. I would prefer a close interface so that TheBrain can also be used for academic work.

Statistics Improvements and Options
Allow the option to count tags not just thoughts as links, and even have a feature to trend statistics over time, to see how the brain is evolving.

report sort event
To have the option to "Sort:Event" in the report view. This would allow to report thoughts with events in chronological order.
Context: I cannot really use the timeline view as the events created go over many hundreds of years.

Add note content during thought creation
TheBrain already has the feature of add a label during thought creation. It is hoped that a feature of adding note content during thought creation can be added. It is recommended to use a colon as the delimiter, which not only conforms to users' intuition but also facilitates pasting relevant content from web pages, PDFs or other texts, reducing some text processing work.

Add label using subsequent parenthesis of thought name during thought creation
Currently, adding parentheses around the first part of a thought name will cause that part to be skipped for sorting purposes, while subsequent parentheses will be ignored. It is recommended to use subsequent parentheses as symbols for adding thought tags, which better aligns with users' habits of adding labels and facilitates users in quickly adding thoughts and labels from copied and pasted text.

Enable Single-Key Activation for event change Popup Menu Choices Body:
I’d like to suggest an enhancement that would significantly improve workflow efficiency and keyboard accessibility.
When modifying an event and dismissing the properties popup, a contextual menu appears with four choices: Cancel, Only this, All the following, and All in the series. Currently, these options require mouse interaction or multi-step keyboard navigation.
It would be incredibly helpful if each option could be activated with a single keystroke—specifically c, o, a, and s—corresponding to the first letter of each item. This lightweight mnemonic-style activation would eliminate the need to switch between mouse and keyboard, making it easier to stay in flow…1 vote -

Hide thought types on iOS
It would be super helpful if there were an option to hide thought types in the plex on iOS. Occasionally I accidentally tap on a thought type and it causes the app to hang for 10+ minutes if the type is used frequently.

Be able to toggle on/off or hide labels in the web browser
It would be nice to be able to have a switch in settings to toggle on/off labels in the web browser as scrolling over the Thoughts in the browser with labels popping up can be distracting and overwhelming visually.

set background color of note text from keyboard
Color coding text and text backgrounds is important to my work. Allow me to type a keyboard sequence to set the background color or text color in the note editor such as: command-shift-B-2-3-return to set background color to the light orange background appearing at column 3 and row 2 of the color picker. This will allow me to quickly learn and use a common set of sequences for the colors I use most often. While typing the sequence, the color picker should highlight the first item of the column and then the chosen row. If I wish to change the…

selection and working with text with certain styling attributes
While in the note editor on desktop and iPad, allow us to use a selective filter that can select OR filter text with certain attributes such as:
- All text in the note that has any background color
- or a certain background color or set of background colors
- optionally bolded, or italicized or a certain heading level or other style attribute
Once this has been filtered, allow us to create a thought attached to the current thought (child, parent or jump) with the filtered text as the new thought's note including the source text's style attributes intact. The filtered text can…

Please fix the "jump thought issue"
At least I guess that it can only be a bug:
I make extensive use of jump thoughts, as they are also a wonderful way to display all the topics of a thought to which they are attached - sort of a keyword index/overview for a given thought.In order to create one, I use the corresonding keyboard shortcut (Ctrl-K). Pretty straightforward - but only if the thought to be created does not already exist (somewhere in the brain). Because when you then select the already existing thought from the selection window, a link is created but NOT the corresponding…

Please fix the "jump thought issue"
I make extensive use of jump thoughts, as they are also a wonderful way to display the (previously selected) elements of the current thought to which they are attached. And since there is a keyboard shortcut for creating such a jump thought, it is a fairly straightforward way to add them, but only as long as the jump thought does not already exist somewhere in the Brain. Then the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-K no longer works and no jump thought is created. And if I explicitly click on “+ Create jump”, a new thought with the same name will be created,…

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…

Close Thought properties as a feature on Mac.
I noticed on the presentation which Matt offered about Version 15, the "Thought Properties" on his Windows machine were turned off. This should be available on the Mac, or a clean look.

What features would make TheBrain easier
For beginners, TheBrain could become easier to use with a more guided onboarding experience and simplified default settings. A step-by-step tutorial that demonstrates creating, linking, and organizing thoughts would help new users quickly understand the basics. Pre-made templates for common use cases—like project planning, personal knowledge management, or journaling—would reduce the learning curve. Clearer visual cues, such as icons or color-coded categories, could make navigation more intuitive. Contextual tips and an integrated help assistant would provide guidance without overwhelming users. Overall, combining simplicity with gradual exposure to advanced features would make TheBrain more beginner-friendly while retaining its depth.
