MindNode - Easy Mind Mapping

Brainstorming with MindNode

MindNode's focus and flexibility makes it the perfect brainstorming tool. The clutter-free interface lets you concentrate on generating and connecting your ideas, and an infinitely expanding canvas means that no matter how big or complicated your thoughts get, MindNode can keep up. MindNode can even automatically rearrange especially complicated mind maps to make them easier to read.

Creating a new node in MindNode is as easy as dragging the node well (marked by a plus sign) next to the selected node, and moving or reconnecting a node is even easier—just drag and drop the node itself! You can even create a new mind map on the same canvas by creating a new main node with a single tap or click in your document's blank space. And when you're ready to share your ideas, you can export your mind map in several widely used formats, including FreeMind, and PDF.

Organizing with MindNode

When a simple list won't quite do the job, MindNode lets you lay out your ideas or tasks visually, then hide the parts of the mind map unrelated to the problem at hand. And MindNode takes advantage of the latest features in Mac OS X Lion, so you can work full screen and see previous versions of a mind map at a glance.

MindNode's formatting options make it easy to mark an important node by bolding or increasing the size of the text, or show a tenuous connection with a dotted line. You can even make cross-connections between otherwise unconnected ideas and add images and links to other useful files. And MindNode's search feature lets you find the node you're looking for in a big mind map—even if it's hidden. When you search for a node that's part of a folded subtree, MindNode unfolds that subtree and highlights the searched term wherever it appears.
