FreeMind is a premier free mind-mapping software written in Java. The recent development has hopefully turned it into high productivity tool. We are proud that the operation and navigation of FreeMind is faster than that of MindManager because of one-click "fold / unfold" and "follow link" operations.

So you want to write a completely new metaphysics? Why don't you use FreeMind? You have a tool at hand that remarkably resembles the tray slips of Robert Pirsig, described in his sequel to Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance called Lila. Do you want to refactor your essays in a similar way you would refactor software? Or do you want to keep personal knowledge base, which is easy to manage? Why don't you try FreeMind? Do you want to prioritize, know where you are, where you've been and where you are heading,as Stephen Covey would advise you? Have you tried FreeMind to keep track of all the things that are needed for that?

Subject: my second brain

did not know i have second one... until i've found freemind. no more feelinglike an idiot on morning company meeting after a big hangover - just ten minuteslong look on mindmap and you're back in saddle, ready to go champion! not evenmentioning other pluses it has in ordinary work situations, of course:) whati want is to say big THANK YOU

Andrea, 25.7.2008: I rediscovered Freemind last week while my proposal for a multi million USDcontract was being reviewed in a tender in a ministry.The reviewer was keeping all details under perfect control at lightspeed, givinghard times to us proposers noticing every single missing or glitch in ourdocuments.

How could he be doing this?

I just asked: mind mapping software was the response. He made a big mind mapof the whole proposal and checked all the nodes one by one. As easy as this.

Well, I was fascinated, after passing the tender review (YESSSSSSS!!!) I justbrowsed my PC where freemind was sitting quiet since a couple of years. I justlaunched it and applied it to my current project: a BIG software system deliveryto an important bank.

Guys, in 3 days I made a perfect job in tracking activities, preparing projectstatus meeting, todo lists, reports, software test result diagrams... I'm justamazed.

>From now on I'll use it for everything.

Thanks for this precious piece of software.

Rich, 14.4.2004: First off, congratulations on a truly awesome application with a fantastically intuitive interface... I thought I'd spend 10 minutes evaluating it but I had so much fun I ended up playing for hours - I even missed lunch!

Daniel, 1.2.2003: How do I know that FreeMind is a high productivity tool? The answer is I don't. I am using FreeMind on daily basis and am very satisfied with the benefits it brings me. What I really consider important is that when I use FreeMind, most of the time I don't have toask myself "how do I do this thing in FreeMind", but I rather just do what I need without thinking about it. FreeMind makes my task of collecting, organizing and analyzing information on a given topic much easier.

James, 14.10.2002: Now, having tried out the new release, I can tell you: It's brilliant! Well done!

Henning, 21.11.2002: I recently started using FreeMind and I'm rather delightet. After getting to known it, it immediately became one of my every-day-use-tools.

Joe, 20.1.2003: I downloaded Freemind several months ago and it has become a vital part of my daily activites. I am enormously grateful for the program.

Paul, 9.2.2003: What a splendid piece of work!

Tom, 13.2.2003: I appreciate version 6.1 very much. Having the DnD capability into and out of my emails has now made Freemind the source document for my management work. 6.1 is stable, simple and elegant in text, lines, and manipulation. I prefer such elegance to commercial versionsbecause I have work to do, not time to make things look better. This is a superb complexity organizer.

I also use it at home to capture my martial arts learning as I head towards ablack belt. I put in the basic movements and the katas or arranged groups ofmovements. I use that when I practice at home.

Perry, 10.4.2003: I have been using FreeMind for two or three months now, and find it totally indispensable! I simply can't say enough good things about how it has helped me get on top of an overwhelming workload. I've tried task managers and project managers ad-nauseam, and they areeither too simplistic or too cumbersome.
