iThoughts is a mind mapping app for iOS (iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.). iThoughts for iOS and Mac are not just about making beautiful context maps. They are utilities for getting your ideas down and then out to somewhere else. If you've never explored the file import and export options in iThoughts, then you are in for a treat.
NovaMind vs iThoughts in our news:
2017. iThoughts adds import to Mindmeister and SimpleMind
The new version of mind-mapping app iThoughts is now live. It features Siri integration, Drag/Drop and a new way of marking tasks as complete. There is also a feature called focus lock. With focus lock, you can now keep a bunch of topics in focus regardless of which one is selected. There is a new button in the top corner. If you drag/drop a topic onto it then the topic will be marked as 100% complete - great for check lists. Mindmeister (.mind) and SimpleMind (.smmx) mindmaps can now be imported. The Doodle feature now supports a resize option to resize selected parts of your doodle (see the +/- button in the toolbar.) Doodle also has better support for Apple Pencil.
2007. NovaMind gets Next-Generation interface
NovaMind has packed the newest version of its flagship mind mapping software for Windows with a bevy of features that should make it very attractive to business users. This new release incorporates dozens of productivity-enhancing features, including a slick new “ribbon” toolbar that resembles the one used in Microsoft’s New Office 2007 applications. The new Brainstorming mode allows to quickly enter a large number of ideas into your map, without the program getting in the way. You can move and reshape your map branches with a great deal of creative freedom and use Ctrl-arrow keys to make fine adjustments to the position of individual branches. A unique “snap lines” feature helps you to vertically align branches to each other. Also NovaMind for Windows now allows you to create a list of resources (people, facilities, supplies, etc.) and then assign them to individual map branches.
