A mind mapper, and at the same time an easy-to-operate hierarchical editor with strong emphasis on folding. These two are not really two different things, just two different descriptions of a single application. Often used for knowledge and content management.

  • The project has delivered a stable, solid and fairly mature artifact, although it has not seen a new version for years. We need a better metaphor than that.
  • PROJECT IS DEAD. But I love it for its simplicity. I tried Freeplane (successor) but it is SUPER BLOATED. BAD NEWS: It does not run with latest OpenJDK. SUPER GOOD NEWS: Version 0.8.1 run with latest OpenJDK (18), and it is simpler from version 1.0.1 which is the latest!

    The metaphor of dead, while conventional, is misleading. The project has delivered a stable, solid and fairly mature artifact, although it has not seen a new version for years. We need a better metaphor than "dead". The love of churning a never-ending fairly rapid steam of ever-changing versions/releases, sometimes poorly tested or introducing breaking changes, often found in free-as-in-freedom projects, seems not without problems.
  • Have been using this for years. As a software developer I love the fact that I can generate my own mm files (some with over 13,000 nodes) and offer my customers an exceptional way of viewing their data. Never fails to impress potential customers. Highly customizable to suit user needs. Would be nice to see a new release this year.
  • It offers much more than it initially appears, simplicity is the key to its power.
  • It is now **ten years ago** that I started using Freemind and I have decided that it is time for some words of gratitude, long due. Freemind has helped me get great results in my studies, has helped me to prepare job applications and is in a way currently helping me develop projects in my work. Thank you! The simplicity of Freemind, including its simple visuals, and its customizability has always appealed to me. I have also started appreciating free software more and more over the years, as I have learned more about the value of liberty in computer systems. For a year ago however, I heard about the existence of a fork for this project which is more active than Freemind itself. I have recently starting using this fork and recommend others to do the same. (This is also why I give this project four stars, instead of five.) Nevertheless, I want to repeat: thank you Freemind, for everything you have done for mindmapping!
