✦Cerebro AI is now your expert tutor on TheBrain
Cerebro has been trained on TheBrain itself, so in addition to taking actions for you, you can now ask it how to use the app. It can guide you through both the why and the how of getting things done in TheBrain. For example, ask about:
- Working with thoughts and links, including thought types and tags
- Formatting notes with markdown, tables, and images
- Search, attachments, syncing, and working offline
- Importing, exporting, and backing up brains
- Themes, settings, keyboard shortcuts, and many more topics
✦Redesigned brains list
The brains list has a new design that makes organizing and finding your brains easier.
A new sidebar organizes your library: All Brains, Favorites, Shared with Me, Synced, Local, Remote, Hidden, and Featured — each with a live count. When the sidebar is collapsed (or on smaller screens), the same categories appear as tabs
- Each brain card shows more at a glance: thought count, sync or sharing status, who has access (member avatars for shared brains), and when you last opened it
- Actions like favorite, sharing, and the brain menu appear when hovering over a card
- Sort and group menus, plus a grid/list view toggle and three density options (small, medium, large), let you tune the layout to your library
- Cloud storage usage is shown at the bottom of the sidebar
✦Desktop: Brains open faster
✦Search: previews now show a thought's links, backlinks, and unlinked mentions
✦Search now indexes more attachment types,
- including .rtf,
- .csv,
- OpenDocument Text (.odt),
- email (.eml),
- Jupyter notebook** (.ipynb) files
✦Improved keyboard navigation: menus opened from the keyboard support arrow keys, dialogs keep focus inside with a clear tab order, and Tab cycles between search and the thought name
✦Type to filter the list of brains in the new tab menu
