BrainBox: Instant Information Capture
BrainBox lets you send information to your Brain quickly and easily. Just click the icon in the top-right corner of TheBrain for Windows or macOS for instant access.
- To take information out of BrainBox and add it to your Brain, first, navigate to the area/thought of your Brain where you want to add your BrainBox attachment. Click the BrainBox icon. Drag and drop the BrainBox item into your Brain or click one of the buttons to add it as a new child thought or as an attachment to the active thought.
- You can also open BrainBox in its own tab and access the information in it without ever adding it to a Brain. When opened in its own tab, items in BrainBox can be previewed, opened and managed.
