It should help you capture and develop your ideas, but the value is in the ideas themselves, not the features.
The app is not the hero of the story, nor should it try to be.
Our ethos in evaluating mind mapping app design is that the app you choose to use should give you the features you need, then get out of your way. In this post, we compare these two apps side-by-side, using the following criteria: But two apps rise above the others as the true cream of the crop: MindNode, with a stunningly beautiful user interface, and iThoughts, with powerful features and impressive flexibility.īoth of these apps are great, but they take very different approaches to mind mapping that can make it difficult to choose which one is right for you. During the import iThoughts will choose one of the Freemind topic colors to use and ignore the others.When it comes to mind mapping on Apple hardware, there are lots of great options available. For example Freemind has 3 colors per topic (line, fill, text) whereas iThoughts only supports a single topic color. NB2: Not all attributes will be carried over from the source map during the import. NB: The imported map is DUPLICATED and CONVERTED to ITMZ format - so any changes will not be written back to the original. You can then choose the folder and whether it should be stored on device or in iCloud or Dropbox etc. When a map is ‘imported’ to iThoughts then it will be converted to the native iThoughts file format (.itmz) and you will be asked where you’d like it saved.
The following methods will work:Įmail the map to yourself then tap on the attachment (in Mail on your iOS device) and choose 'Copy To ' from the Share Sheet.Ĭopy the map into the cloud (iCloud Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, GDrive etc.) then close any open map and choose Import from the menu under the Gear toolbar button. The tricky part (on iOS) is getting the map onto your iOS device in the first place. On Windows you may need to change the filter in the File Open dialog. On Windows/Mac it is a simple matter of File -> Open and choose the file to import. IThoughts can import many of the most popular desktop mind map file formats - see here for a list.
