TheBrain

TheBrain is an advanced software application whose purpose is to help you store information in one place. You can organize webpages, contacts, documents, emails, and files so you can quickly find them. Plus, you may create mind maps for connecting ideas.

The GUI may look a bit overwhelming because the program has a lot of features to digest so you need to invest some extra time into decoding its functions. A help manual and tips are available in case you need to know more about specific features.

Designing a brand-new project (‘New Brain’) can be done by providing information about the name. You may also choose between several templates, such as Business, Brainstorming, Education, IT Management, and Business.

What’s more, you can merge and rename projects, create ZIP archives so you can share projects via email, and print data. You may import information from IE Favorites and XML, DOCX, MMAP, OPML, MM, OWL, or plain text file format. Plus, you may export data to an image file, or HTML and XML files.

Statistics include information about the number of thoughts, links, notes, tags, events, thought types, forgotten thoughts, and internal attachment size.

You can make use of several editing tools in order to organize your thoughts, such as create child and parent thoughts, insert tags, arrange ideas by name, type, or date, pin thoughts, embed attachments, perform searches, generate reports using different criteria (e.g. thought type, date, name, attachments), as well as undo or redo your actions.

You may also check out a calendar and set up events with reminders. A built-in note editor allows you to print data, insert tables, hyperlinks, and symbols, check the spelling, and count the words.

TheBrain gives you the possibility to perform online searches via your web browser using different engines (e.g. Google, Yahoo!), look for data on Twitter, and change the looks of the mind maps by choosing between several predefined themes or importing custom images (e.g. JPG, GIF).

You are allowed to spell check the thoughts, switch to a full screen or transparent viewing mode, perform online backups to the cloud so you can access data remotely and share it with your friends, create custom categories for storing files, track and save multiple file versions, as well as integrate Outlook or webmail messages in your projects.

All things considered, TheBrain helps you acquire a better understanding of your projects and content. It lets you store and visualize data, as well as find files quickly and detect if they relate to something else in the database. The comprehensive feature package makes it suitable especially for professionals.
