  2. Sort thoughts by number of links

    What I would Iike to be able to do is to find the thoughts that have the most links. I'm thinking that in the Report view area, at the top, there would be a way to sort the thoughts by number of links.
    I know in the Statistics I can see the average number of links per thought, but I want to know which thought is the "most popular".

  3. iOS Widgets with Thought Note Content or List of Thoughts

    I'd love to see an iOS widget for TheBrain that displays the note content of a selected thought and another option to list the last x number of created, modified, or accessed thoughts. I'm only asking to show the data. Tapping on the note would bring you to the thought note in TheBrain, and tapping the thought name in the list option would open that thought.

    Apple Notes widgets are excellent examples of a thought note content widgets. I've attached an example of the Thought Note Content.

    Widgets enable background sync for the app on iOS, which could be an…

  5. GPT o3 mini

    Since, the new model by Open AI is launched and its relatively cheaper their its previous model. Is there any roadmap to adding o3 mini on the upcoming version?

    This provides larger context windows and better reasoning model which will be great addition to TheBrain while expanding our Mindmaps and thinking

  6. adding BrainBox to the right click Context menu on web browsers

    I think adding BrainBox to the right click Context menu on web browsers would be a great and much needed improvement.

    Often times I search and find a link I want to add to Brainbox, but don't want to open the URL. I'm well aware of drag and drop, but that does no good when you use apps in full screen, I'm also aware you can Alt+Tab to TheBrain while in full screen while dragging the link, but if you have a lot of apps open, this is not feasible.

    Adding BrainBox to the apps area (See SingleFile) of the…

  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. Remote Management of Brain Installations for Security

    In addition to the essential Two Factor Authentication capability implemented, we should have management of Brain installations available from account settings. This particular admin capability should also specifically require 2FA to open and then allow remote management / remote delete of brains / remote un-installation etc.

    The use-case example is installing TheBrain on additional devices for use with online or local brains but in case of loss of tablet or a device, TheBrain should be able to be managed remotely from the user account so that should TheBrain be opened by a third party on a lost device, the software…

  10. Gamification Skill Tree View

    To keep up with something that is out there, and where The Brain could leap forward into a new paradigm.

    Create a "Skill Tree" view, which resembles skill trees that can be built in video games.

    Add some graphics options such as thought shapes and zero text options.

    We already have the option to modify the plex to have interesting backgrounds, so that isn't needed.

    Being able to toggle text on and off, replacing it with an image. If you had the ability to use .png files for the images, then you could actually end up with very dynamic looking…

  11. Is it possible to create a knowledge graph of an entire brain?

    I have a lot of internal documents, many nodes and links. I would like to use some knowledge graph tools to sort and cluster things in ways that can be done with knowledge graphs.

  12. Hide Text in Notes

    I used a lot of LATEX to write long texts but now, I have pretty much switched over to use notes in the Brain.
    One feature, however, I truly miss, is the possibility to hide text.

    In Latex, whenever I put a % sign in front of a line of text, the paragraph will not be printed, the text is however still there.

    Why is such a feature interesting?
    I am writing a text that later I will print out as a pdf and hand out.
    % I work on the tex for a long time and put in ideas,…

  13. New Feature

    Provide support for X Cards. https://developer.x.com/en/docs/x-for-websites/cards/overview/player-card

    This would allow users to embed Brains or elements of brains perhaps, into posts on X.

    With X Communities beginning to take off, this would make use of TheBrain as a value add to communities.

    This would help on other communities too, like Skool.

  14. Revisit supporting Google calendar sync

    While it's not clear why TheBrain developers dislike supporting Google calendar sync, deprecating the feature is not good. Many of the notes I create in TheBrain are related to events, and so the abrupt cutting off of support without and explanation puts all those notes at risk. Not a good call.

  15. I would like the ability to change a group of thoughts to a type or tag. Currently you have to do this one at a time.

    When changing a thought to a type or tag you have to do it individually. It would be good to grab a group of thoughts and allow the ability to change the group to a type or tag.

  16. In TB15, keep the folder names and other structures that exist in TB14

    You changed the folder names during the TB8 to TB9 update, and I lost all of the links that existed between Word documents that were housed in TB8. So I have to have all my TB8 content in the TB8 structure, and now TB8 isn't supported and doesn't work. So I can only access through Windows Explorer. Please don't repeat this.

  18. Automatic linking of thoughts (in notes) option

    One click to link all thoughts in a note. This will also serve to reactivate dead links (which happens when you merge thoughts then delete forgotten).
