NovaMind Express 4.7.3 is a product which is based on the core architecture of NovaMind 3, the best Mind Mapping application for Mac OS X and Windows.

The Express edition of NovaMind is aimed at schools, students/pupils and casual Mind Mappers. Also available are the Pro and Platinum editions, aimed at business users, project planners, and power Mind Mappers.

This version of NovaMind includes many features never seen in earlier versions of NovaMind, such as Templates, Themes, Map Styles, Graphics Styles and a completely new user interface.

MindNode 1.4.2 gives you a free yet elegant and simple-to-use mindmapping application for the Macintosh which was created with the user in mind and features a very simple and intuitive user interface that lets the user focus on expressing and developing ideas. Nearly no time is required to learn the interface. MindNode is based on the same codebase as the commercial version. While it is still a very powerful application, it misses some of the features added to MindNode Pro that help improve your productivity.

Major Features:

1. Node Well. New nodes are created by simply dragging them out of the node wells. There is no need to access the toolbar or the application menu.
2. Multiple Mind Maps. The ability to create multiple mind maps on one canvas makes MindNode Pro an ideal tool for brainstorming sessions.
3. No file format lock-in. MindNode and MindNode Pro support a variety of file formats. You can import and export FreeMind and OPML files (a file format used by many outlining applications) or export the mind map as PNG image, TIFF image, PDF, RTF or HTML document.
4. Visually Appealing Mind Maps. There is no need to spend hours playing with the visual attributes to create an appealing mind map. The default values are suitable for most uses.
5. Full Keyboard Support. Although MindNode really shows its strength when used with a mouse, nearly all interactions can be performed very easily with the keyboard.
6. Built for Leopard. MindNode makes use of Quicklook, Spotlight and iChat Theater.
7. Expanding Canvas. The mind map is not restricted to the size of a page. The canvas resizes automatically in the background to fit the mind map.

Freemind is mind mapping software. You can use it for writing essays or conducting experiments. It is also useful for finances, projects, and just organizing your thoughts and plans.
Main features:
- Keeping track of projects, including subtasks, state of subtasks and time recording
- Project workplace, including links to necessary files, executables, source of information and of course information
- Workplace for internet research using Google and other sources
- Keeping a collection of small or middle sized notes with links on some area which expands as needed. Such a collection of notes is sometimes called knowledge base.
- Essay writing and brainstorming, using colors to show which essays are open, completed, not yet started etc, using size of nodes to indicate size of essays. I dont have one map for one essay, I have one map for all essays. I move parts of some essays to other when it seems appropriate.
- Keeping a small database of something with structure that is either very dynamic or not known in advance. The main disadvantage of such approach when compared to traditional database applications are poor query possibilities, but I use it that way anyway - contacts, recipes, medical records etc. You learn about the structure from the additional data items you enter. For example, different medical records use different structure and you do not have to analyze all the possible structures before you enter the first medical record.
- Commented internet favorites or bookmarks, with colors and fonts having the meaning you want.
Enhancements:
- Fully functional following of HTML links stored in the nodes, be it www links or links to local files.
- From very early versions, Freemind supports folding which is its essential property.
- Fast one-click navigation, including folding / unfolding on one click and following links on one click at the same time (you dont have to make choice between fast following of links and fast fold/unfold). You can move the map by dragging the maps background as well as using mouse wheel.
- Undo
- Smart Dragn Drop, including the possibility to copy nodes or copy style of nodes; dragging and dropping of multiple selected nodes; dropping of texts or list of files from outside
- Smart copying and pasting into, including pasting of links from HTML or structuring the pasted content on the basis of the number of leading spaces in a line; pasting of lists of selected files
- Smart copying and pasting from, including plain text and RTF (MS Wordpad, MS Word, MS Outlook messages).
- Export of map to HTML, with folding
- Find facility, where found items are shown one by one as you do "find next", and the map is unfolded only for the current item.
- Possibility to use and edit long multiline nodes; even with newlines
- Possibility to decorate nodes with built-in icons, colors and different fonts.
- Low costs of risk of switching away to another mind mapping tool, because FreeMind stores maps in XML format. If you have a lot of maps created by FreeMind and you want to switch to another program, writing a conversion program should be easy, especially if that program features Visual Basic scripting facility. Christoph Rissner describes in his article at IICM site his implementation of data exchange between FreeMind and MindManager.
- File mode enables you to browse the files on your computer, seeing the folder structure as mind map.
