TheBrain 10 released

Beginning with version 9, the note tool in TheBrain did improve. For example, previously you had to assign a check box to each item in a list, whereas now checkboxes persist from line to line as you hit the enter key. Built in styles make formatting some of the text easier. There are other standard tools now that are more accessible. It is still far from the best note-taking environment, but it is useable now.

Another advantage is that you can assign tags and types to your notes, and it is very nice how you can use those categorizing tools to locate your information.

Alexander, I’m not sure you’d be satisfied with the web version of TheBrain for notes. I like the online access simply for reference, but the experience of creating and working with thoughts (notes) is so much better with the desktop versions.
