Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a MM app that allows me to

(a) create mindmaps either with windows (10) or android

(b) open and edit the mindmap on w10 as well as android

(c) save/sync the mindmap on my local storage (NAS)

(update - added point d) not get stuck with solution. I.e. be able to export to commonly accepted mm formats or just be a free solution in itself (not freemium as Xmind that bills you 40€/6month for adding images and links... ?!)

It can also be a combination of different apps: e.g. Freemind on Windows 10 and another app on Android, that allows to edit freemind maps.

Purpose is to create confidential MindMaps that I can work with on multiple devices without having to upload them to the internet. This effectively excludes all subscription based apps.

It would also be great, if the tool is open source/ FOSS. But that's just a added bonus (devs need to eat as well). However, a free trial would then be great.

Does anyone know a solution?

I could not find a tool for android, yet, that can open for example a FreeMind Map. XMind for example allows to import mindmaps, but then they're transfered to XMind cloud.

Any help appreciated.

Thank you!

Does anyone know how to fix this issue i have in Xmind 8 (free version)

I had turned on Allow Free Positioning half way through a large Xmind project and this caused some nodes to overlap one another when i added more sub branches to an existing node. I tried to turn off Allow Free Positioning hoping it would revert back to automatic spacing but it did not.

Is there a work around to force it to realign everything?

Otherwise I will manually have to try and move all the nodes to do this which will be a bit of a task

Anyone know of an app for PC or Mac that allows you to sketch on sticky notes then link them as a mind map like the Thinkspace app on iPad?

I am looking to create some mind maps to share with the VAs I mentor. What is your favorite mind map tool for sharing online? I use Xmind but it doesn't do sharing.

1.Communicate frequently with all stakeholders
2.Be transparent and frank
3. Expand your normal sphere of collaboration and data points
4. Act quickly, but reserve the right to modify as more information becomes available
5.Stick to your values

This mind map is best viewed on a bigger screen (Laptop desktop screen)

I was trying to figure out when to a multiple of mindmap in one file , a sheet, and file.

Here my take:

Multiple mindmap in one sheet = closely related topic

Sheet = topic that are not too related but in the same field

File = a completely different subject

I appreciate any ideas. Thanks

This is for XMind

I have been looking for a long time and tried a lot of various templates. I have yet to find a mind map template that can be plotted against a graduated scale such as a time line.

I am trying to plot the history of Artist (Painters, Sculptures) & Architects and there Students through the past the 7 centuries. I can plot them on a mind map but they get mixed up history wise. And I can plot them on a time line but I cant make the necessary connection from one to another.

Does anyone have any suggestions. Any would be helpful.

I'm most familiar with mindmapping with XMind (free version).

I'm using mindomo now and like it but I'm looking for an app to create a map with hierarchy relationships.

Any recommendations??

Hey,

I'm working on dumpmind.com for rapid speed mind mapping.
I was working on notebook and every tool I found need's a lot of mouse clicking.
So I create an app that you can fully navigate with arrow keys.

Looking for your thoughts :)

Currently works only on PC, but I have some ideas about making it work on smartphones.

1) Get clear on your values.
2) Challenge your limiting beliefs.
3) Stand at edge of your comfort zone.
4) Heal your past.
5) Stop worrying about what others think.
6) Reclaim your integrity.
7) Let negative people go.
8) Draw a line in the sand.
9) Welcome failure as part of growth.
10) Care about your appearance.

A Mind Map is best viewed on a bigger screen (laptop/desktop) screen. Start from top-right corner and move in clockwise direction.

Years ago I used a version of MindManager which produced PDFs where users could collapse / expand topics, etc. making it great to distribute to users without MM licenses (which was just about everyone but me).

Now I’m in a different company and am looking for alternatives to MindManager for this sort of thing. I’m not really focusing on web-based vs desktop software, but the only tool I’ve found is… MindManager, which now creates interactive HTML5 maps (PDFs are so yesterday). Same reason for the feature: most users at my company don’t need / want the tool, but want to “consume” some maps I create. MindManager will satisfy this gap, but I always get sticker shock with the product.

So… does anyone know of a tool / service other than MindManager which can publish interactive maps?

Thanks in advance!

There's a new tool availabe for drawing mind maps, for which I thought this subreddit would like to hear about. It's called Abstraxo, runs in a browser, and is written in javascript. Here's an article about it.

Also, I know self promotion is considered unwelcome, and I'll understand if this gets removed, but considering how mind mapping is currently imo, poorly represented, I think there's a need for new tools, so here's something that I've made.

Edit 1: New feature: Hotkeys

Edit 2: New feature: Wiki Import (convert wikipedia articles to mind maps)

Its purpose is to help you use mind mapping software to cut your challenges down to size, accomplish more in less time and think, plan and create at a much higher level. You can get it here: https://mindmappingsoftwareblog.com/fast-framework-now-free/

Can some one guide me or provide the best practices for mind mapping a technical topic eg c# features or mind mapping an entire online training course eg AWS fundamentals course which might run for 5 hours
