BrainBox

Make a note in TheBrain about something on the web

What is BrainBox?

BrainBox is a Chrome extension that enhances note-taking for users of TheBrain, a powerful mind-mapping and knowledge management tool. With BrainBox, users can easily capture web pages and save them into TheBrain for future reference. This extension allows you to not only bookmark URLs and titles but also to clip and store the actual content from the pages you visit. You can choose to send this information directly to a specific thought, create a new thought on-the-fly, or append it to an existing thought's note. By simplifying the process of collecting web-based information, BrainBox streamlines the workflow for research, learning, and staying organized.

Recent update resolved all the log out/in issues. And now I can send web content directly to a specific thought in any Brain. This is an amazing tool for fast web capture and organization.

Since the recent update, I'm having to log in several times each day, and it does not work with my password manager. Should have a setting to "stay logged in". Other than that, great extension and works with the 14 beta of TheBrain.
