The current release (9.0.161) bring back the long awaited reminders.
You can add one or more events to one thought including a reminder for each event.
Further, all events can be viewed on the timeline (View -> timeline).

I have been using TheBrain v9 every day for eight months now and the app including syncing is very stable and is exactly the same either on macOS or on Windows.

Best,
Dominik

TheBrain 9 has come very far. I’m impressed. The three biggest improvements:

1. The ability to have multiple brains open at the same time. This makes it a lot easier to chop your information into smaller brains, rather than cramming them all into one brain.

2. The editor is far more robust, making TheBrain an actually good note organizer. Likewise, the way TheBrain 9 handles other attachments to thoughts seems much improved.

3. The iOS version keeps a copy of your data locally, so you don’t have to be online to use it—I can’t say I’ve put this to the test yet, but looking forward to doing so.

But there are many other improvements. Brains sync to the cloud for more more quickly. The timeline view looks like a very useful tool. You can get a sense of the improvements from the latest webinar by TheBrain Technologies:

I agree with Steve, and would add to his list the ability to have multiple tabs for the same brain.  This makes working with a document that has a lot of nodes very easy—without having to spend a lot of time navigating.

I’ve been testing TheBrain 9 through all 224 betas so far and found the development team to be a great group of people to work with, responsive to problems and suggestions, and interested in integrating customer feedback into the product.

‘member when all software was priced at $200 or above? Then the 21st century happened. Apparently, TheBrain missed that particular development. If you’re Adobe or Microsoft you can get away with their pricing. Otherwise? Tough sell.

As free software, it’s way limited. Full-version? Nice but not that nice.

I would never try to tell anyone what software should be worth to them, but to me TheBrain is well worth the price. I use TheBrain for most of my information management. And why should I expect to pay $40 for this great software? They now have native apps running on Windows and OSX, as well as iOS and Android. They have a reliable cloud service, which gives me the ability to see and manage my information through any browser. Also, TheBrain Technologies puts a lot of effort into helping me get the most from the software with their extensive free webinars.

Then there is the fact that it is just so much fun to use.
