I hate to write articles. Seriously. All these kilometers printed or written text are not wanted. We attach too much importance to the text and will spam your mind the letters to the limit. At the end of the material you will understand why I say so. For now imagine: a boring lecture in a university, you have to stuff the book synopsis, close handwriting and line by line. But the worst thing - this is not a nagging wrist. Frightening is that vapor tomorrow you will need to retell the teacher recorded and you will be recorded in this deal - no one cares. For a moment, leave further discussion of the pointlessness of national education, the best move here is to what.
Normal, alphanumeric data entry desperately uncomfortable. It is monotonous, boring and poorly decoded. Meanwhile, even in the middle of the last century, human laziness issued another genius - mind maps or mayndmeping. The essence of this method in the graphical display of associations on the basis of the radial thinking. That is, the secondary thoughts are attached to the main means of branching.
Mayndmeping - this is a very convenient format for reading and writing large amounts of data. Moreover, given the associative method, it can be used for brainstorming and solving creative problems. Oh yes! You read all these letters are not in the paper magazine, and in this blog, therefore, it would be time to talk about applications that help humanity deal with mayndmepingom.
Mayndmeping on Mac
MindNode
Extremely minimalist solution for mayndmepinga the Mac. The program is absolutely impossible to get lost. Of the options except the fonts and color branches. In a word, nothing more, as many of us love.
I use this particular program, because it is free and is designed for complete beginners in mayndmepinge. In addition, MindNode can save the results of your brain activity in a violent and even jpg to PDF.
MyThoughts
A more complex program, however, maintain a healthy minimalism. Is able to more than MindNode, but if one has a free version, which is sufficient for most users, the MyThoughts costs $ 49. An application can add detailed descriptions to each entry, you can import a variety of media files directly in the mind map. Maybe that's why I have to give him $ 49, or at least, because the developers have worked to make such an application.
curio Standard
It is very difficult, but it did not cumbersome application. While the abundance of settings and functions that fall on the unfortunate user to understand the application - it is half an hour. This application is priced at $ 129, and if I need would be such a difficult instrument, I would have paid the money without hesitation. In Curio dime a dozen ways to display and appearance of the mind maps, you can do incredible beautiful cards and build complex hierarchies is in the form in which they are in your consciousness. The app is able to take screencasts and screenshots, export the results of user activity popular web services like Flickr, has integration with Evernote (a huge plus for mayndmeping-software).
MindManager
It's clear that the cost of the program to $ 249 should not be limited to drawing mind maps. Therefore, when entering the user is prompted to select the type of map, ie what data it will be visualized. The choice is wide: from marketing strategy template to schedule meetings and events. Total sixteen templates, plus one blank for ordinary mind maps.
MindManager running, I immediately felt that this is an office application to the bone. Although, if only because immediately understand it is absolutely impossible. But if the company decides to purchase a copy of the program, managers will have to understand it. But, to understand, you can heap up such that the usual mayndmeping applications never dreamed of.
MindManager Developers eat their own bread and it is, in good faith honing application under the platform. The program integrates with iCal, iChat, Adress Book, and, of course, iWork. Do not forget about the Apple Script, with him, too, the program is working. In short, if you need a powerful, enterprise solution for sane money - try it MindManager. But if the company is just beginning to comprehend the essence of mayndmepinga, let your management practice on MindNode.
Mindmeister
Mayndmeping this tool can not be attributed to the category of "mind maps on the Mac», because as soon as the web application. With specific programs for the iPhone and iPad, by the way.
MindMeister - the application is very thorough, with all the necessary tools to group work on cards, with enhanced support of different content, which can be inserted in the Mind Mapping. And, most importantly, with many versions: there are extensions for the popular browsers, offline mode, and mobile applications. At the same time, Mindmeister - it is rather a tool to work on projects that include mind mapping. So it's best it is suitable again for business.
The application works on a subscription and subscription business suggests a price of $ 9 per user per month. Personal use costs $ 59 per year.
Mayndmeping on iPhone
Headspace Lite
Free version weird application that allows you to build mind maps on the iPhone in 3D. Perhaps, in order to be placed on one screen is larger relationships. Or, at least, in order to be able to turn the process into a game of "catch the elusive element", in which I unwittingly played the first run. This program is designed for the freaks, but something in it is.
myMind Start
Extremely minimalist and intuitive application, which is also distributed free of charge. Create branches and points cards - a pleasure, so just a quick and clear they are created. Setting at least, is that the overall color of the intelligence cards and its name. Despite the small display, the creation of cards is not converted into flour.
SimpleMind Express
Simple and cute application, which does not require unnecessary movements. Creates a bright, colorful mind maps with astonishing ease. The only problem - not too comfortable "plus sign" on the edges of the items that add new branches.
Mayndmeping on iPad
iPad is often used on the road shows when the customer must show the plan works, the future of the scheme website scripts passing user, etc. In these cases the memory card could be useful for iPad.
In eppstore you will find a large number of applications that facilitate the creation of mind maps. We will focus on two free.
Total Recall
Total Recall - universal app available for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. The program allows you to create a memory card of virtually unlimited size. The application interface is easy to use, mastered in just a few minutes.
At the bottom of the screen there is a toolbar with which you can create / delete connections diagram. If you click on the button "Palette", it will be possible to change the color of any of the objects of the diagram.
Create a memory card can be exported to one of formats (simple image, PDF, HTML, proprietary format) and send it by e-mail.
The free version of Total Recall, you can create up to three graphs links. Total Recall liked the simplicity. With the application, you can in a very short period of time to sketch a mind map.
iDesk Lite
iDesk Lite provides more opportunities for card registration. You can set different backgrounds and filling, indicate the line thickness. Figures themselves may be different.
If the Total Recall new object maps created in the two touching the screen (1 - create an object, 2nd tap - specify where it should be placed) in the iDesk you draw them. Fortunately smart application. Angular circle program to turn into a neat circle, and the curve polygon - squared.
The interface iDesk used metaphors of "real life." Want to connect objects thicker feature? Spend it on several occasions. Do you want to delete the link? Just cross out the line.
By card can be sent by e-mail and upload to Box.net servers (and they will be available to your colleagues and partners). Diagrams can be printed using a new opportunity Air Print
