#5. MindNode

After a short hiatius I am back with the number 5 free Mac application. I’ve always had a problem with writing down ideas and when I do actually write them down, say in OmniOutliner, I usually forget what the goal is. What problem I’m trying to solve and how this is idea relates to the main problem. Therefore, I decided to try out MindNode, mainly since it’s free. However, I’ve really found it useful to easily map ideas onto the canvas. So give it a try, and why not it’s free.

Notes from the developer’s site:

Features

Node Well. New nodes are created by simply dragging them out of the node wells. There is no need to access the toolbar or the application menu.

Clean Interface. The very simple and intutive user interface let’s the user focus on finding and developing ideas. Nearly no time is required to learn the interface.

Multiple MindMaps. The ability to create mutliple mind maps on one canvas, makes MindMap an ideal tool for brain storming sessions.
