#XMIND PRO VERSION COST FREE#
There is a free version (search for SimpleMindX at the App Store) and another for $6.99. It’s not a mind or concept mapping tool, nor is it a search engine, but it has a hint of each of these. More instructions and information about how it works would be good too. Then it will provide a view of the topic that would be hard (impossible?) to find elsewhere. Many terms that you might enter yield a blank circle, but when you hit one for which they have analyzed content, it can be fascinating. Recent mind mapping and related software:ĮyePlorer for visual exploration of the sematic netĪ very interesting tool, still in its infancy, this is very cool. And all previous updates, from 1.0 to 1.6 have been free, but this one has to be paid for – $30 – unless you bought it since October last year, which I didn’t 🙁 I don’t think I shall be using that – though new users will probably like it. And there’s a slightly weird “Halo” menu. A much more direct way of getting at the controls than menus. There are panels at the side that swing out now, when the cursor passes over them. Now, I can have the material I’m collecting for organised according to the type of map they make, and tag them in ways like “Next update”, “Waiting for screenshots”, or “Revised entry”. I’ve long wanted to gather stuff in my Topicscapes in ways that relate to what I’m doing at the time, not only based on how the items are related to one another. I tried out their new offering and was delighted to find that it has tags. I’ve used it ever since as an information organiser and even occasionally for mind mapping. Long-time followers of this blog will know that I was one of the early beta testers when Topicscape first went public. There is a new version of Topicscape Pro out now – version 2.0 and it’s a major upgrade.
