Description

Every great idea starts with a single thought. And another. And then a million more. MindNode is the most delightful brainstorming app for Mac and iOS. It helps you capture your thoughts and create a clear picture of your idea.

Featured as Apple’s “App of the Day” & “Editors’ Choice”


WHAT’S ON YOUR MIND?

• Capture Your Thoughts
Whether as words, images, links, tasks, or notes, capture your thoughts in any form. Create an outline for an organized, hierarchical view, and observe how it grows as a mind map. Use the mind map to visually rearrange nodes and add new thoughts. MindNode is the right tool to get your ideas out of your head the way you want to.

• Organize Your Idea
Your document reflects your ever-changing understanding of an idea as you add and adjust thoughts. Move, tag, connect, detach, and reconnect as often as you like. Mind map and outline side-by-side. Concentrate on one thought at a time with Focus Mode, Visual Tags, and foldable branches.

• Style Your Mind Map
Personalize your document with beautiful out-of-the-box themes and custom stickers. Make your mind map look just right by styling every detail. With Smart Layout your idea will always look fantastic.

• Share Your Vision
Easily share your documents with others or move them one step further in your creative process. Send tasks to Apple Reminders, Things, or OmniFocus. Export your idea as text, image, and to many other file formats.

Editors' Notes

Articulating a complex idea can be a challenge, but fortunately MindNode—which simplifies a technique known as mind-mapping—can make the process a whole lot easier. The app lets you create a diagram where an overarching idea branches off into related ones. You’ll be able to zero in on specifics and zoom out to see the entire concept in all its complexity.

The best

I seriously love this app and use it for all kinds of things from brainstorming, creating website site maps, to planning and writing presentations. The many export options, the fact that it works in Mac and iOS seamlessly and the great user interface with awesome themes all combine for a great experience. Highly recommended and worth every cent.

Hi Tim! Thank you so much for this great review!!

Nice app, crappy business model and experience

I purchased this app some time ago, and use it pretty frequently.

Then, last week all of the functionality I’d paid for became “premium only” and unavailable. I could only use the “free editor”, despite having paid for the app.

This happened because they want to switch people over to a subscription model, EVEN IF you’ve already bought it. They’d crippled the app to force you to switch.

Don’t expect your mindmaps to be reverse compatable either, in case you need to collaborate with someone on a different version. I thought modern software had moved beyond versioning pain!!!

Not cool, would not recommend.

Developer Response ,

MindNode 7 is a free upgrade to all users of MindNode 5/6. When exporting a MindNode file from MindNode 7 in order to ensure it's backwards compatiple, please tap on the share icon in the upper left corner, as Export Type select 'MindNode', and then ensure 'Export Legacy File Format' is toggled on. Regards,
Vanessa
