Mindmapping software

[MarillionFan]

I'm presently doing some work where I feel that a mindmap is the best diagram. Been jotting them down, but there is a lot of meta data I want to bring through to represent.

I've been looking at something like this

https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=st...isch&q=mindmap

Powerpoint has a basic one, but not in that format. Any recommendations for any decent software, template or plug in?

I use the aptly named simplemind+ app on my ipad.

They have a desktop version

SimpleMind Desktop | simplemind

My eldest uses Popplet on the ipad and Mindomo or SimpleMindFree on the android tablet

Reccomendations

2nd for Simple Mind if your working stand alone.

Or MindMeister if you want to pay an annual fee and share across the cloud, add to mind map from phone/tablet whilst commuting etc. Also I found it a lot easier to get text out of Mind Meister into MS document formats.

Other people might find the look and feel of both a bit old fashioned.

xMind for me, basic is free

I started using xMind just yesterday and quickly got used to it; I am more of a keyboarder than a mouser at heart and I find the keyboard shortcuts very intuitive for my (admittedly basic) needs.

I liked the look of "the Brain", but it only ran once on my Win 7 PC so it was uninstalled.

UI is probably a bit complex for you but you could try this....



They are not free but you could probably pick one up at a boot sale for a few quid.

Try drawing it on a sheet of A3/A4 paper and scan it.

Try drawing it on a sheet of A3/A4 paper and scan it.

And if you have a sudden brainwave, be sure to carve the mind map in a large granite cliff face.

Otherwise it's all too easy to forget.

An A5 piece of paper and a crayon should cover anything that's cogitated beneath your furrowed brow.
