Ratings and Reviews
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.
Very Useful - highly intuitive to use
I first started using mindnode back in 2013 to help me plan and execute oil and gas contracts I was managing. I had tried a few others at the time and it was the simple and intuitive interface that sold me on it. I find that my priority for mindmapping is that it must be fast enough to keep up my thought processes without gettting in the way - with a bit of editing capability later on to tidy up details and make it presentable. The power of the app was spectacularly demonstrated when we had a major product issue and had to redesign subsea oil and gas pipelines midway through production. My engineering manager and I sat down together in a hotel bar in France literally mapped out the entire project recovery plan in under an hour. More that that, we actually followed the plan and presented it in mindnode format to the client. They hadn't seen anything like it before and were incredibly impressed, especially as we saved the delivery date of the project through the actions we took from the map. Its a great product and I have used it for everything from multi-million dollar projects to short articles I have written. Love it!
Steady improvements to a great tool!
I've been using MindNode since Version 1 in 2014, and it is still my go-to mindmapping tool for my project- and strategy consulting firm. It's been a valuable visualiser for everything from collecting thoughts, developing strategic approaches, and even brainstorming with a 30-person room of clients. I've used it to pitch engagements on my iPad, talk through project structures on my iPhone, and have groups of people stand in front of it pointing and gesticulating as the mindmap is projected off my MacBook Pro. Integration with iCloud is seamless, and the latest addition of stickers is making me enjoy using it even more! This app introduced mindmapping to one of my client's organisation - too bad they were PC-based and couldn't get MindNode!
Developer Response ,
Thank you so, so much for this radiant and beautiful review ❤️ we really appreciate it! I get your point and understand why you would want MindNode for Windows. We are a small firm with limited resources and unfortunately we don't have the capacities at the moment to develop MindNode for an additional operating system. We are however thinking about a web-based version of MindNode. Maybe that might be of use to you. I just can't make any promises on when this will see the light of day.
