Sync everywhere
Synchronize your brain, including file attachments, between multiple devices. Windows, Mac, Linux, and mobile can all be effortlessly kept in sync.
Cloud Services
Put your mind online.
TheBrain is free forever. Cloud services are the optional layer on top — sync across every device, Cerebro AI, secure online backup, and team collaboration. Add them with a Pro, Max, or TeamBrain plan whenever you're ready; never required.
What you get
Everything your brain needs, online.
Cerebro AI
Automate almost anything in your brain just by asking for it. Create content, search, summarize attachments, suggest links, or have a conversation. The only limit is your imagination.
Access anywhere
Open your brain from a browser on any computer with an Internet connection — and keep working offline, syncing up whenever you reconnect.
Share & collaborate
Publish your brain and share it with friends and colleagues. Accessing a brain is as easy as following a link.
Automatic backup
Every change syncs in the background as you work — a reliable backup that lets you work from anywhere, worry-free.
Take your brain everywhere.
Start with the free app — it's yours forever — and add cloud services the moment you want sync, AI, and collaboration on every device.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
- What are TheBrain Cloud Services and how do they work with TheBrain Desktop?
- TheBrain Cloud Services lets you access your brain from anywhere online. You can also synchronize changes to your brain between different machines and still make modifications while offline. Cloud services make this seamless even with hundreds of thousands of thoughts and attachments. Watch the tutorial.
- Can I just keep all my data locally?
- By default your brain is local and not synced to the cloud. If you prefer to keep all of your data local on a single machine TheBrain is designed to work this way on Windows, Mac, and Linux. You can even remove your data from the cloud and keep your local copy if you change your mind later on. Local, offline use is possible on iOS and Android too, though it's generally not convenient given the way those platforms' file systems work.
- Are TheBrain Cloud Services cross-platform?
- TheBrain is fully cross-platform. You can sync and access all of your data from rich clients on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android. In addition you can also access your brain via a browser. With cloud services you get the same rich environment everywhere you go without worrying about local storage limitations or platform differences.
- What's included free, and what needs a plan?
The app is free forever, and basic cloud services come with it: unlimited public brains you can sync and share, free private sync for up to 1,000 thoughts, 100 MB of synced attachment storage, and a daily taste of Cerebro AI.
A paid plan removes the limits — sync unlimited thoughts in your private brains, full Cerebro AI usage, attachment storage starting at 30 GB, encrypted backup, and (with TeamBrain) collaboration. See the plans.
- How do I get started?
- Simply click the cloud icon and confirm that you want to upload your brain to get started. Your data is uploaded and becomes immediately syncable with just a couple of clicks from all your other devices.
- What types of attachments are supported?
- Web link attachments sync on every plan, including the free app. File and folder attachments sync too — the free app includes 100 MB of synced attachment storage, and paid plans start at 30 GB and scale up to 250 GB. Local attachments are always unlimited; external files and folders that are linked from your brain but stored elsewhere are not synchronized.
- What happens to my synced brains if my plan ends?
Your brains are always yours. You can download everything you've synced from the cloud at any time — whether or not your plan is active — so your data is never locked away.
When a plan ends, your private sync simply returns to the free limits and your public brains stay synced and shareable. To keep syncing new changes beyond those limits — unlimited thoughts and 30 GB or more of attachment storage — just renew or pick up a plan again.
One caveat: after a plan has lapsed for six months or more, large amounts of cloud data — such as file attachments beyond the free limit — may eventually be removed to reclaim storage. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you beforehand, but if you do not plan to renew, we recommend downloading a local copy of your data to ensure you retain access.
- How can I cancel Cloud Services?
