TheBrain

"Your screen should not look like a bunch of pretty buttons that you use to order your computer from one task to the next. Instead it should be a dynamic representation and experience of everything that's important to you."

Harlan Hugh
CEO and Inventor of TheBrain
Feed Magazine, 1999

What We Do


TheBrain Technologies helps people make sense of the wide range of information they need to organize and assimilate on a daily basis. We believe that two Brains are better than one. And if you extend and capture your thinking about your projects and life you can get some amazing stuff done.

All our software is designed to help you organize information the way you think. We think the world deserves a better way to organize and store their information other than folder directories and long lists. TheBrain's patented user interface is so flexible and fluid that you can link any file or concept to anything else. With our products you can visualize thinking on your computer desktop, collectively on a server, or in the cloud.
