· Clean Interface. The very simple and intutive user interface let's the user focus on finding and developing ideas. Nearly no time is required to learn the interface.
· Multiple MindMaps. The ability to create mutliple mind maps on one canvas, makes MindMap an ideal tool for brain storming sessions.
· Visual Appealing Mind Maps. There is no need to spend hours playing with the visual attributes to create an appealing mindmap. The default values are suitable for most uses.
· Full Keyboard Support. Although MindNode really shows it's strenght when used with a mouse, nearly all interactions can be performed very easely with the keyboard.
· Build for Leopard. MindNode makes use of Quicklook, Spotlight and iChat Theater.
· No lock in. You can print, share and export your mind map as tiff or pdf.
