FreeMind is a simple and handy mind mapping application, useful for writing essays or conducting experiments.
FreeMind is a tool that may have various uses, and can be integrated in finances, projects or simple thought and plan organization.
FreeMind is available for most important platforms, including Mac OS X, Windows and Linux.
Here are some key features of "FreeMind":
· 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.
· 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.
Requirements:
· Java 1.4.2 or later
