What is Minder?
Minder is a mind-mapping application with many features that make it ideal for capturing, organizing and visualizing your ideas. Minder has automatic node layout features that allow you to focus on putting down your ideas in a tree-like format. Links and nodes can be colorized to help differentiate trains of thought. Images can be added to nodes to help convey meaningful information. Notes can be added to a node to provide even more information to an idea. Each node in the mind-map can be made a task which can be checked as complete.
Connections can be made between any two nodes in the mind-map, helping to show relationships beyond parent/child. Connections can display optional titles, direction, color and may even contain notes of their own. In a single button click, all connections can be hidden or reshown within the mind map.
The entire tree can layout can be changed on the fly to help make the information easier to understand while themes can help make your mind-maps uniquely your own.
Minder has support for zooming to help you focus on the current topic. It also has support for searching and filtering to help you find the information that you need.
On the output side, Minder supports many different output formats to help it fit into your workflow, including native printing support.
Comments and Reviews
This one is wonderful. I used Freeplane, Mindomo, and Vym before, however, Minder combines simplicity and efficiency more than anyone mentioned.
Although it's free open-source, it has features that are absent or not found directly in Mindomo and Freeplane, such as node layouts and easity adding titles for connectors. It's still even much easier and lighter than Freeplane.
One of the most nice features I found is that, using the Property Sidebar, you can choose from 7 different node layouts. It has also 4 built-in themes which are very nice and eye-candy. And from the same sidebar, you can easily change font, font size, connector style.
I just cannot express how I've admired this software. Thanks for developers.
Quite basic program to draw mind maps. Import and Export functions for other mindmapping applications available but as the programm lacks some features - not everything gets transferred. (export is a separate menu item - not save as)
*** Tested and almost approved! *** DEFECTS: it closes by itself when I insert internet links or references within the map; does not have file attachments inside the PC. It does not have a mini-map for navigation. It does not have other types of branches, such as comment balloons, summary and org charts. *** ADVANTAGES: in QT, beautiful and free.
Minder is so simple but so powerful. You can create mind maps very fast, export in different formats... It helps to connect ideas and remember what you need easily.
