It can sync data from websites, apps, spreadsheets, and more for you to include in mind-maps. For example, it offers tools for project management, including Gantt charts and comprehensive cost tracking.
In addition to a full complement of mind-mapping and outlining features, MindManager also integrates powerful features not available in other apps. Still, if you’re running a business, working with a team, or looking for more than mind-maps and outlines, MindManager is probably most appropriate as it may well live up to its claim to be “the world’s most powerful mind-mapping software.” The apps are all relatively easy to learn and use.
For me, this is the killer feature of mind-mapping software-I love to start by brainstorming a visual mind-map, and then use a traditional outline to organize and prioritize all those items. A mind-map (left) and its outline (right), shown in XMind.Īs I mentioned last week, outlines have been my primary organizational tool since time immemorial. Switch from Mind-Map to Outlineįor me, the best feature in all of them is the way you can easily switch between your mind-map and an outline. All of the apps feature a variety of shapes, lines, and labels, and all of them let you customize a node or nodes quickly and easily. Then, you can drag-and-drop to arrange or rearrange nodes and the connections between them. A new node appears for each new thought or topic, which gives you a basic mind map to work with. For example, all of them have rapid-fire modes that let you create multiple nodes in quick succession. Overall, they are more alike than different. Last week I told you I’ve become enthralled with a brainstorming and notetaking technology known as mind-mapping and that I’ve been playing around with four different mind-mapping apps for macOS.
