Restore Built In Screenshot / Insert Image Workflow in V15
Several longtime users miss the old built in screenshot / Insert Image workflow.
The current OS screenshot method works, but it does not feel equal for heavy screenshot users. What used to be one smooth action inside TheBrain now takes more clicks and keypresses, sometimes turning into three or four steps depending on the user’s setup.
For users who capture images while thinking, writing, researching, or building notes, those extra steps break their flow and slow down a workflow they had built into TheBrain for years.
Please consider restoring a direct built in screenshot capture option in TheBrain 15, so…

Better Redo Function in the AI of the Notes Editor
When using the Redo function in the AI assitant of the notes editor it would be helpful to have access to the last prompt entered. Often a Redo implies a change or refinement of the last prompt. Currently one has to reenter the complete previous prompt (and to remember the exact previous wording).

create orphan thought from brainbox
I'd like to be able to create a new orphan thought from an entry in brain box rather than adding it as a child to something else and then having to unlink it.

Integrate with Readwise
Virtually all of the major notetaking apps, and also a number of apps in beta allow information to seamlessly pass between Readwise and the notetaking app itself. It's an automatic transition. It would be incredible if could use this into the brain.

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…

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…

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.

For the Desktop app, include Tag and Type for the thought in the Notes
I have several thoughts with several tags and the desktop plex becomes crowded. I would like the option to display the tags and type of a though in the notes and not show on the plex below the thought. I know this works in the web and app version, but I would like it in the desktop version also.

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.

The notes and attachments sections open in separate windows.
I would like to have the option to split the notes and attachments sections into two separate windows. Often, when taking notes, you have to juggle between the web browser (to open attachments externally) and the Brain. With this setup, you could stay entirely within Brain and continue taking notes without switching context.
I could even imagine having the attachments section overlay or replace the Plex side panel, allowing full-length display of the attachment while taking notes—all within the same application.I believe this would improve the workflow.

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…

Bring back "Copy Local Thought URL" into TB15--- Sorely needed!!!
Before I upgraded from TB14 to TB15, I could right-click a thought and it included the option "Copy Local Thought URL" in addition to "Copy Web Thought URL". This is very important for linking thoughts into text block and also linking thoughts from other brains.

Keyboard short cut for open context menu of a thought
There are many helpful short cuts to handle TB from keyboard. However one essentual short cut is missing: open context menu of a selected thought corresponding to the right click by mouse. This would reduce grapping the mouse alot.
