MindNode Review
MindNode is a mind-mapping tool to help users make sense of all their thoughts, random notes and ideas. It works by giving you a space to jot everything down, even using its quick add feature.
You can then go in and arrange notes, use tags and colours, connect ideas and turn your thoughts into clearer pictures with actionable steps. It's basically like a visual brainstorming tool with a nice interface.
What is MindNode and who’s it for?
MindNode is a really simple and easy-to-use mind-mapping tool for connecting thoughts and ideas in one space. This helps you make sense of your ideas, create a better picture of the steps you want to take, and therefore help you become more productive and achieve something that was once a tiny thought.
MindNode is good for anyone who has lots of ideas they want to make sense of. We all sit sometimes and think of good ideas but never turn them into anything. MindNode gives you a space to jot down ideas and then go back in to create something of them.
