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.

  • I would love to use this again, but so far... Mac OS 14 on a MacBook M1. All typefaces look destroyed in the menu and on pages. This is not usable. Oh, and by the way, I would love to come back from Freeplane, but it seems I can't import such files.
  • thank you a lot for this Tool and Idea. It is a good tool to make, in less time, some info-connect-trees. It is not very intuitive and there are some workflow slow downs. More simplicity and workflow optimizing necessary. - new* makes a new tab, not a new project - can´t delete tabs in a project, anyway (no [X] , no left click option) - double click on Node open editor and sometimes open subnodes - Node Size is not resize the Text inside, no auto-fit to the Nodesize - Icons looking poor - too much focus on icons - second Tool bar in scroll-window, not two rows - second tools bar overfilled with icons - zoom out of the project decrease the text also in the editor - zoom in and out de-focus the Nodes - the chart/table is not separate size-able, some options needed, like enumeration per Row, editing headers Please pimp that nice idea. I can make u a new Logo ;)
  • I used to like it very much but, a while ago, I made an almost complete mind map and when I clicked "save" Freemind just closed and I lost my work. I realized that everytime I would click save it would close. Now I downloaded again(new machine) and the first thing I tested was the save button(or menu) and it is still closing! Shame because I want to use it. Try the save button first people! I am using windows.
  • FreeMind's user interface is clunky and illogical at times. I find myself searching through the menu and help system just to find basic functionality. Previously I've used Mind Manager and Mind Genius both of which are very easy to learn with a clean and simple interface getting the job done quickly. In my opinion FreeMind is in desperate need of a complete redesign and modernization of the user interface.
  • Everything works right, just not very intuitive. The creation process hindering the actual brainstorming. Figuring out where the option was to illustrate a connection, it all was just more work. Then I kept running into an issue with copy and paste not working. I would copy a web address and attempt to paste within freemind...nothing. I was only able to successfully paste anything just once. Ive used this before was happy but now it just seems cumbersome. Hope to see some good updates.
