Brains, Sharing, and Collaboration

A brain is your unit of knowledge. You decide whether it stays private, gets published, or is shared with specific people.

How many brains

The Free plan includes one brain. Pro and Team include unlimited brains. Keeping separate brains for separate topics, projects, or clients keeps each one focused.

Private by default

Your brains are private by default — yours unless you choose to share or publish them.

Sharing options

There are three states:

• Private — only you (and anyone you invite).
• Published — public and SEO-indexed, so anyone can view it at a public URL under your profile.
• Invited — specific people get read or contributor access to an otherwise private brain.

Publishing makes a brain public for anyone to view; inviting gives named people access without making the brain public.

Collaboration

Collaboration and shared brains with contributor seats are part of the Team plan, so teammates can contribute to the same brain. Brain settings — visibility, people, sharing, limits, and deletion — are role-guarded, so only those with the right role can manage them.

Public profiles and SEO

Public brains live under your profile at a public URL, so others can browse what you've chosen to share. They're SEO-indexed, which is also how Ounie grows — every shared brain invites visitors to build their own.

Controlling usage

Owners can set a per-brain chat cap, so one brain can't be over-used or drain credits. There's also an "accepts suggestions" toggle and a suggestions inbox, so others can propose sources you approve.

Social and safety

Public brains support stars and follows as part of the social layer. Ounie also includes Report and Block controls as part of its moderation and safety features.
