Looking for good mind mapping software
Looking for good mind mapping software
I've used Freemind for a long time, but I'm wondering if there is a recommendation for a more modern version of this? Trying to install on my new PC, it claims me version of Java is old.
Draw.iocould also work, its meant for flowchartsLogseq Is Obsidian but FOSS, it has a canvas integrated to it. My only problem is that it has a unique flavour of markdown that it will not work well with any other parsers. On the plus side it has lots of community extensions. I would recommend it if you don't mind the markdown flavour.
I had annotated somewhere an F-Droid app that focused on flowcharts. I'll look it up later and edit this comment pointing to it if you are interested.
Thanks for the suggestion! I like Obsidian and might be willing to try a different one, but I really like that if I choose to stop using this program I have all my files in a readable format that can be interpreted by other programs, so that might be a deal-breaker
Dunno it's what you're looking for, I use canvas on Obsidian. Works for me and you can link files
Oh, I already use Obsidian. Is canvas an add-on to it?
I think it was but is now built in
There are quite a few mind map plugins for Obsidian.
I used to use freemind.
After posting this, I found Freeplane which feels very similar.
Nice, hope it works for you. Never quite got how mind maps were superior to quick notes other than the usually weak link between the ones I wrote
Just pen and a huge sheet of paper, or multiples taped together.
Or pinenote, but I find the size somewhat limiting.
I prefer if if you can see everything at a glance like
But to actually answer your question: try rnote
For something that I want to be able to easily put away and bring out a week or 2 months later, software definitely has the edge over big pieces of paper. Most the time, I also want to work on several different brainstorming sessions close together. But thanks for the suggestion! And mote looks like it might be good.
I used Xmind for years and absolutely loved it. Its been a few years since I used it, so not sure what its like anymore. The paid version is significantly better than the free version.
