An update to our pick for the best mind mapping app

Earlier today, we stuck to our guns and chose MindNode 5 as the best mind mapping app for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. MindNode 5’s latest features, including a fresh new design, inter-app integrations (like the integration with the latest version of Things), and its uniform capabilities across all platforms make MindNode 5 the best mind mapping app for most people.

First and foremost, we love MindNode 5’s ease of use. You don’t even need to understand what a mind map is or how to create one in order to take advantage of MindNode’s capabilities. The app quickly and seamlessly leads you through the creation of a mind map, and MindNode’s great design makes it a pleasure to use on a daily basis.

MindNode 5’s new inspectors ensure the most useful features and actions aren’t tucked away in a sidebar, and you can have both an outline view and an inspector window open at the same time.

MindNode 5 also sports Quick Entry, allowing you to jot notes on your Mac throughout the day and to create a mind map when it’s convenient.

Lastly, MindNode 5 allows for custom themes, ensuring your MindNode 5 can be unlike anyone else’s.
