Developer: TheBrain Technologies

File type: PersonalBrain Mind Map File

You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .brain. Files with the file extension .brain can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .brain files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.

what is a .brain file?

Concept and mind mapping applications are classified as Personal Information Management software, and these programs are used to create visual projects, also called mind maps, that can aid the user in clearly defining his or her set of tasks, responsibilities, goals and objectives on a daily or weekly or monthly or annual basis. The PersonalBrain software is an example of these Personal Information Management applications, and mind maps created using this program are saved in files with the .brain extension. These BRAIN files are implemented with XML formatting standards and can be opened and edited using the PersonalBrain application. Users of Microsoft Windows-based systems can install the PersonalBrain software into their computers to begin creating these mind mapping projects, while there is also a version that can be installed in Mac platforms. TheBrain Technologies, developer of the PersonalBrain software, also provides a version of this application for Linux environments.

how to open a .brain file?

Launch a .brain file, or any other file on your PC, by double-clicking it. If your file associations are set up correctly, the application that's meant to open your .brain file will open it. It's possible you may need to download or purchase the correct application. It's also possible that you have the correct application on your PC, but .brain files aren't yet associated with it. In this case, when you try to open a .brain file, you can tell Windows which application is the correct one for that file. From then on, opening a .brain file will open the correct application.

a word of warning

Be careful not to rename the extension on .brain files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.

what is a file extension?

A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .brain. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
