FreeMind Description
There are numerous users who prefer to use the same application to perform many tasks, rather than relying on a dedicated tool for each of their necessities. Such a comprehensive software utility is FreeMind, which can not only help people organize their thoughts and come up with efficient solutions, but it can also encrypt their projects.
The application installs without any issues and the only thing that needs to be mentioned is that Java is required to ensure smooth functioning.
The user interface of FreeMind is both intuitive and well organized so that one can easily start creating a mindmap or launch a so-called brainstorming session.
The first step is to add each idea as a node, then add relationships and connections between them – once users get accustomed to the application, they can even insert child or sibling nodes with a simple hotkey, thus saving time looking around menus and focusing more on their project.
The next step towards coming up with a complex workplace is to split or join nodes, change root node if necessary and share the outcome with colleagues to get their opinion. One can even join two such maps to get the bigger picture of a certain situation, as well as fold nodes to get a bird’s eye view on things.
It is also worth mentioning that users can choose a different font style and color for each of the created tasks and sub-tasks to make sure they are visible enough.
FreeMind also supports encrypted nodes and inserting hyperlinks or local links inside one’s mindmap, so it can be adapted to numerous types of projects, not only to sort out the solution to a dilemma or create the best marketing strategy for a certain product.
Overall, FreeMind is a complex software utility that will be appreciated by those who often need to create extensive mindmaps and share it with their team.
