I’ll be honest, I hate most mind-mapping apps. A good mapping app does more than just put text on lines. It should make it easy to capture, organize, and then use ideas. MindNode is one of a handful of apps that I can recommend.
MindNode 5 is an update packed with new features, enhancements and many small refinements to make working with MindNode even more productive. We want to empower you to reach your goals and have an impact, where you think it is important. Top-Down-Layout and orthogonal branches have been our most requested feature. MindNode 5 adds the option to edit right within the list view. This is a nice change that makes the list view feel much more practical than in previous versions. If you're new to idea mapping then I think this new list editing feature makes it much more approachable. List view in MindNode is more than just an alternative view to a map. MindNode 5 - Volume License is a paid up-front version of MindNode and fully feature equivalent with MindNode 5.
The new MindNode is just as beautiful as the old MindNode but many of the most innovative features have been refined and made more accessible. The new tool palettes make the app easy to use on iPad and iPhone but also highlight a unique perspective on task and list management.
I really appreciate the diminutive panels on the iPhone. Even while collapsed, they are just a quick tap away. Tap and hold on a node to reveal a pop-over with additional functions. It's a simplified interface that hides quite a bit of functionality.
If I want to dive into the details of a node there's a dizzying array of options. Faux pas 1 6 1. I really like how the panel dimensions are managed too. On first tap the panel expands slightly. If I want to see the entire panel, I just pull the edge and it expands to fill the iPhone screen.
MindNode famously offers two different interaction modes, the traditional map view and a list view. I’ve always found the list view interesting but not that practical for the way I map out ideas. But what it is good for is managing a sequence of items like an outline or a task list. Tasks is MindNode are handled perfectly. Convert a branch to a task and now the list view shows check marks and progression wheels. And since the list view has a larger size it’s easier to check things off.
MindNode 5 adds the option to edit right within the list view. This is a nice change that makes the list view feel much more practical than in previous versions. If you're new to idea mapping then I think this new list editing feature makes it much more approachable.
List view in MindNode is more than just an alternative view to a map. It's now fully functional for editing and arranging but it's also the only place on the iPhone to search for text.
On the iPad, split screen is also very useful. Drag and drop between other apps and MindNode is a great way to get content into a map, including images.
The Today screen widget is a good way to quickly jump to MindNode and start editing. It's not as fluid as I would like and feels a bit more like a shortcut than a capture widget. The widget is easy to add on the iPad but it's not as obvious on the iPhone. The easiest way (and maybe only way) is to use the force touch context menu and then tap the 'Add' button to add to the Today widgets.
The Mac version of MindNode also brings some new quick capture, formatting, and note editing features. It's a very nice looking application on the Mac and as with iOS, the simplified interface hides a lot of power.
I still prefer the power of iThoughts but MindNode continues to be a close runner up. The new versions are definitely worth the upgrade if you want an approachable and capable idea mapping application for Mac, iPhone, and iPad.

We have been releasing small hints about our next major update for some time now and today I'm finally able to officially announce what we have been working on for the last two years: MindNode 5 will be released later 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.
We want to empower you to reach your goals and have an impact, where you think it is important.
Top-Down-Layout and orthogonal branches have been our most requested feature. They will ship with MindNode 5 and will enable you to use MindNode for new use cases, like organisation charts. Other new features include a brand new brainstorming mode and the adoption of many significant iOS 11 features.
I'm personally very excited about how our new lightweight panel-based UI on iOS is turning out. As our initial approach didn't work out, we lost several months as we had to go back to the drawing board. But the effort was worth it and the new solution is a perfect fit for iOS 11 and the brand new iPhone X.
We will share more details in the coming weeks, but for today I'd like to update you on our new payment model.
The goal of any business model discussion is to find a solution that is fair to the users and the team that works hard to create an excellent app.
MindNode will celebrate its 10 year anniversary next year and in those years the software business has changed a lot. The App Store revolutionized the purchase experience and brought many new customers to us. While many fellow indie developers had to give up developing their own apps, your ongoing support has enabled us to stay successful without outside funding.
Our current paid upfront model worked great for us all those years, but comes with several disadvantages on the App Store:
New customers are unable to try the app before purchasing and it's not possible to provide existing customers with discounted upgrades when releasing a new version. We learned about this the hard way when we released MindNode 2 for Mac in Spring 2015.
We observed with great interest how other developers moved to new business models. We had many very passionate discussions in the team about switching to subscriptions, staying with the current paid upfront model, and various models in between.
With the current structure of our user base and the way that you use MindNode, a subscription model is not the right way for now. That's why we have decided that MindNode will become a free app with In-App Purchases (IAPs).
The free version will allow the viewing of documents. All editing functionality can be unlocked with an In-App Purchase. Following is what this will look like in detail.
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.
When you first download the app you can try all features during a free 14-day trial. If you are ready to buy you can unlock the full app using a one-time In-App Purchase (IAP). Blocs 3 4 4 cyl.
One of our main motivations to switch to a freemium app was to finally offer existing customers with a discounted upgrade. If you purchased MindNode 2 for Mac or any version of MindNode for iOS, you are entitled to a discounted upgrade.
And beyond that, all new customers since September 1st will be able to upgrade to MindNode 5 for free on the respective platforms.
