SimpleMind

If you are looking for an efficient way of organizing your thoughts and ideas, SimpleMind may be just what you need. It enables you to create mind maps, charts and anything else that involves planning and organizing. The application's main focus is on simplicity and ease of use, which makes it an excellent mind mapping solution for people who don't want to bother with a large number of controls or with complex settings.

SimpleMind's user interface is divided into three main parts. The largest part is the editing area, where you can draw your mind map. Projects can be saved and organized in folders and sub-folders on the left side of the interface. Also, you can find various icons and other elements on the right side of the window. A series of options can be fond on a toolbar, but most of them have corresponding options in the editing area.

Like with most mind mapping applications, in SimpleMind you start with a single node and you can expand with any number of nodes in any direction you want. The necessary controls for creating nodes, inserting items and performing other actions are located next to each node, to make any operation straightforward and easy. Nodes can be moved freely by simply clicking and dragging them to other positions and you can also rotate them, along with their sub-nodes.

A particularly useful feature is SimpleMind's Dropbox integration. Besides saving mind maps in local folders, you can also save them directly in Dropbox and synchronize any future changes.
