Keeps getting better
v3.1 update. Wow. Many to one relationships! Hoorah. I think this is the only mind mapping tool out there that can do this. Really flexible. Can’t wait to see what I can do with this in terms of story plotting!
Like another reviewer I’ve tried every other mind map tool out there. Very excited to see iThougths on the mac. The ability to use the same app on iPad and Mac is fantastic. You can even set it up to use the iPad version hotkeys for child and sibling topic creation.
iThoughtsX is mind-mapping streamlined. I’m a writer and use mindmapping daily to record notes, do story plotting, scene construction, charcter notes, backstory etc. I used outlines before discovering mindmapping, and then tried every mind mapping tool out there. I settled on iThoughts because simply put it was the fastest way to gather and record ideas and organize them on the fly. Every other mindmapping tool had some limitation which added friction to the generation of content. Not so with iThoughts. You never have to remove your hands from the core keys of the keyboard. When the ideas are flying, your own, or recording others like a lecture, speed of input and organization is everything.
Also, the developer (very responsive to requests) is working on iCloud support. So, if you are looking for a tool which is designed to record your thoughts with lightening ease, you found it.
