It is, however, $99 for the standard version and $199 for the business-y version with Visio support and fancier export options. Of them, OmniGraffle seemed the least-horrible option for mind-mapping, and is also a pretty great diagramming application in general. My experience is that they’re too heavy, and actually way harder to use than XMind or MindNode. You can of course take any sufficiently advanced graphing program and use it, or a plug-in, or whatever. Bringing a tank to a water balloon fight: huge apps that can mind map It looks like dated open-source software for Windows 3.11, but seems to work okay. But I don’t need another project management collaboration tool set, and I don’t have $350.įree. I’ve played around with the free version, it seemed great and over-featured for personal use. Targeted for the enterprise that can buy and negotiate licensing fees, I guess. I really wanted to like it more, and might return to it for doing writing brainstorming.
My problem is that for the stuff I most frequently use mind mapping for, I just could not seem to make it work fast enough: where I’m cruising along hitting tab/enter and typing as I go, Scapple never allowed me to get into that flow. For that, it’s great, and the ease of use is good. Everything’s an island and then you like them up, toss a picture in, whatever.
I love Scrivener, and I love how Literature & Latte runs their shop - my experiences with them over the years have been uniformly good.īig difference between this and others is that Scapple defaults to a map without hierarchy: you’re not starting with a central topic and building out. The Plus and Pro versions are targeted towards businesses (Gantt View, only $99 more for a limited time), with the only thing you might need being some of the export tools. I liked this a lot, seemed to drain battery like crazy. I also don’t get why it’s MindNode Pro: wasn’t putting “Pro” on your app a thing you did when there were free and paid versions, like that phase where we named the paid versions “HD?” The companion iOS apps look pretty good too, though I’m satisfied with iThoughts there. Pretty sweet, easy to use, pretty, simple look to it, surprising depth once you start to poke around in what you can attach and do with stuff. How I evaluated: I mapped out my thinking on some simple project ideas, which meant a lot of entering new text, and then I tried taking notes on a presentation, which added more navigation and on-the-fly reorganization.
