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.

MonsterMind is nothing more than the usual classic game of the Master Mind.
This is a brand new project: we wish to make compatible with the SDL library our collection of old Amiga Workbench Games.
Main features:
- 100% portable using SDL library,
- localizated (actually english and italian),
- seven colors, picked from a stock of sixteen, to guess in fourteen attempts,
- ability to change the backdrop to satisfy your taste,
- you can modify the sixteen colors too,
- different game level (less colors to guess, less number of attempts...),
- possibility to save and load game status,
- and other things you may communicate to us.

VYM (View Your Mind) is a tool to generate and manipulate maps which show your thoughts. Such maps are able to help you improve your creativity and effectivity. You can use them for time management, to organize tasks, to get an overview over complex contexts, to sort your ideas etc.
Maps can be drawn by hand on paper or a flip chart and help to structure your thoughs. While a tree like structure like shown on this page can be drawn by hand or any drawing software vym offers much more features to work with such maps.
vym is not another drawing software, but a tool to store and modify information in an intuitive way. For example you can reorder parts of the map by pressing a key or add various information like a complete email by a simple mouse click.
A map can concentrate a very complex content on little space e.g. a piece of paper. It helps to use both sides of your brain: the logical side and also your creative side (e.g. by using pictures, colors and keywords in a map, so called anchors). It is a technique to organize the way you think: It can help you by developing, sorting and memorizing your thoughts.
Because you just use keywords and drawings, it is much faster than good old fashioned notes. Your brain memorizes things by associating them to other things -- a map makes use of those connections and stimulates new asccociations.
vym is designed to make changes in the map very easy: e.g. if you use it for time management, just move a task to another place or recolor it by a simple mouse click in order to assign it to another day in the week or to give it a new priority.
There are lots of webpages (see e.g. the Wikepedia links below) and also books out there, providing lots of information on working with maps.

FreeMind 0.9.0_RC_4 is designed as a professional tool for editing Mind maps, XML/HTML documents, and directory trees. In future, even network-structures will be supported such as Topic Maps (ISO). All this data is represented to the user as a Mind map. This is achieved with a modular design, which makes it possible to easily write modules, only designing the model of the problem (the data structure), without caring for the visual representation at all. Currently a Mind Mapping and a File Mode are implemented. Version 0.8.1 is a bug-fixing release.

Are you using mind mapping and reference management tools such as Mind Manager, FreeMind, JabRef, Endnote, or Zotero? And do you sometimes even make use of the bookmark functionality in your PDF Reader? Then you should have a look at FreeMind Scholar because FreeMind Scholar aims to integrate mind mapping with reference and pdf management.
FreeMind Scholar is a mind mapping tool based on the outstanding FreeMind but focusing on the special needs of researchers. In its current version, FreeMind Scholar offers two main functions in addition to the extensive functionality of FreeMind.
FreeMind Scholar allows you to assign BibTeX keys to the mind maps entries. This way you can structure ideas and results of academic articles in a mind map and directly reference to their origins.
The allocation of BibTex keys to the mind map entries may happen even automatically: If you have linked an entry in your mind map to a PDF file and you link to this PDF file in your reference mangement tool, too, FreeMind Scholar automatically assigns the BibTeX key from your reference management software to the mind map entry.
Currently FreeMind Scholar supports only the BibTeX format (we use JabRef) but the support of other reference management tools such as Endnote and Zotero are on the top of our priority list.
FreeMind Scholar enables the import of PDF bookmarks via drag & drop. The standard FreeMind only allows to drag & drop complete PDFs into the mind map.
FreeMind Scholar is developed in Java and should run under Mac OS X, Windows (95, etc., XP, Vista), and Linux.

System requirements:
- Java 1.6 or later
- 16 MB on hard drive
- 32 MB RAM
