MindNode makes mind mapping easy. Mind maps are a visual representation of your ideas, starting with a central thought and growing from there. This allows you to brainstorm & organize your thoughts in an intuitive way, so you can focus on the idea behind it.

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.

2017 - Mind-mapping software MindNode 5 gets new layouts to take on iThoughts
IdeasOnCanvas presented the new version of its mind-mapping software MindNode 5 is coming soon this year for iOS and macOS. MindNode 5 is an update packed with new features, enhancements and many small refinements to make working with MindNode even more productive. Top-Down-Layout and orthogonal branches will enable you to use MindNode for new use cases, like organization charts. Other new features include a brand new brainstorming mode and the adoption of many significant iOS 11 features. The free version doubles as a viewer for MindNode documents. If you only want to edit your documents on your Mac, but want to view them on you iPhone you can now do this without paying for the iOS version. The conclusion is that MindNode is now more functional if compared vs iThoughts
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.
2017 - MindNode for iOS now supports all cloud storages. Beware XMind !
Users of mind-mapping app MindNode for iOS know that you have the option to import documents from Dropbox or iCloud directly through our app’s Document Picker. This has always been limited to just MindNode documents. Dropbox has decided to deprecate their old API and MindMode developers took the chance to revamp Import for MindNode and it now lets you easily import all formats from any cloud storage you have on your iOS device, right there in the Document Picker. A pre-requisite for importing on iOS is that you install the iOS app of your preferred cloud service. Thus MindNode gets more iOS-friendly than XMind
2017 - iThoughts gets compressed layout and costs to catch up with iBlueSky
Mind-mapping app iThoughts got an update for iOS, macOS and Windows. Maps now have a new Style option called Compressed. This will trim back the margins at the edge of topics and also the inter topic spacing in order to present more information on the screen. There is a new task attribute called Cost. This is a simple floating point number that can be attached to a topic. The Cost field also supports rollup which means that the sum cost for immediate child topics is calculated automatically (similar to effort.) In addition to the headline features above, there is a spell check and new keyboard shortcuts (in Windows version). So iThoughts becomes more functional if compared vs iBlueSky
2017 - iThoughts comes to Windows to keep up with iMindMap
Mind-mapping software iThoughts is now available for Windows . It is designed primarily for the desktop/laptop (keyboard mouse) environment - but it does also work with touch. The goal in developing this has been to enable people to work seamlessly between iOS, macOS and Windows. To that end, you can use either iCloud or Dropbox to keep your maps all in sync. Maps will look pretty much identical across all devices (subject to installed fonts etc.) Just like iOS and macOS, the Windows version is an additional purchase. Thus iThoughts is now more Windows-friendly than iMindMap
2016 - MindNode gets task integrations to challenge iMindMap
Mind-mapping app MindNode for Mac, iOS and Apple Watch just got many new features and enhancements. Using MindNode for Mac you can now send your task directly to Cultured Code’s Things. Just select “Export to Things” from the share menu and all your tasks will be exported to a new Things project. MindNode also integrates with OmniGroup’s OmniFocus and allows to import and export TaskPaper documents. The developers also improved MindManager and OPML import/export to fully support tasks. Another major focus area of this release is Accessibility support. Now you can navigate the app with VoiceOver, bold text, reduced transparency and reduced motion enabled. Thus MindNode is now more productive in comparison to iMindMap
2016 - MindNode adds tasks to win over Mindly
Mind-mapping tool MindNode released updates for our Mac and iOS apps. The major new feature in this release is the new Task support. You can turn any child node into a task and check off completed tasks directly on the canvas. To help you stay on top of your tasks, MindNode will also show a task progress indicator on parent nodes that have children with tasks. If you prefer Apple Reminders to manage your tasks, you can also share your Tasks to Reminders and MindNode will keep the completion state in sync with Reminders. For example when you mark a task as completed in Reminders, it will also be marked as completed in MindNode. So we may assume that MindNode becomes more functional if compared vs Mindly
2015 - iThoughts launched free app for iOS to defeate NovaMind
Standard iThoughts app for iOS costs $10. For those who wants to try it first there is a new free app called iThoughts2go. It is a FREE version of iThoughts (with one small caveat).

Maps can also be synced automatically via iCloud, Dropbox or WebDAV cloud services. You can also import and export maps to and from many of the most popular desktop application formats: MindManager, iMindmap, Freemind/Freeplane, Novamind, XMind, Mindview Mindmeister, Mindnode, Mindmapper, SimpleMind and MyThoughts.
