2014. Freeplane - a new open-source brainstorming tool



The recently launched open source mind-mapping software, Freeplane, is an enhanced and reimagined version of FreeMind, offering a range of features to create comprehensive and dynamic mind maps. In addition to building traditional static mind maps, Freeplane introduces intelligent tools to enhance map creation. For instance, the program incorporates conditional styling, automatically applying your preferred visual appearance to nodes based on their hierarchical level and content. The content within nodes can be highly interactive, allowing you to hide information, present it on demand or automatically, organize it using folding branches, and utilize hyperlinks for seamless navigation. The software also includes built-in calendar and reminder tools, enabling efficient management of tasks and projects. Furthermore, it offers DES encryption for individual nodes or the entire map, ensuring data security. Freeplane can be expanded through the use of scripts and various intriguing add-ons. Once the mind map is complete, it can be shared as an image, an HTML page, through Flash, and more, providing versatile sharing options.
