FreeMind competition and relatives

The main alternatives to FreeMind are discussed at the Main Page#Alternatives to using FreeMind. Some of these and others are further discussed here. See also Alternatives to FreeMind.

  • 3D Topicscape. A 3D mind mapping software.
  • Microsoft OneNote. Well, that does not compete. It is surely more powerful in many areas, but essentialy weaker in the core area of organizing and information hiding.
  • OpenMind 2 is a commercial closed source mindmapping application with strong focus on project management and its integration into Microsoft Office. It supports tasks, timings and combines them with dependencies. One of the main features is the use of multiple views including standard mind map one sided hierarchical top-down and left-right, time line, outline and Gantt-chart modes. Maps can be integrated into each other (sub maps) and templates can be defined. No need to say that this software only supports Microsoft Windows.
  • Nelements KOS. 3D mind mapping software.
  • ShadowPlan a PalmOS based software with some desktop component. Not really a graphical mind mapper, but helps to sort thoughts in form of to-do lists.
  • Thinkgraph. Free, however, not free as in freedom, with a licence which is not even open source, not to mention GNU. And using FreeMind or Thinkgraph feels very different. With FreeMind you work much faster, but in Thinkgraph you have some different display options and the positioning of elements is more free (free also means that you have to do it, which makes it slower).
  • VYM - View Your Mind. Vym is a GNU PGL licenced mind mapper running on Linux and Mac OS. VYM has not been reported to run on Microsoft Windows. VYM's main branches look more like in a mind manager than FreeMind. VYM stores data in XML. VYM claims to support images; it is not clear if better than FreeMind. VYM is implemented using C++ and QT toolkit. Main advantage of VYM is probably its speed.
  • ABC FlowCharter by MicroGrafx and Microsoft Visio are considered to be good mind mapping tool by some people.
  • Kdissert is a GPL mindmapper software with an emphasis on creating structured documents.
  • Mappio - FreeMind MindMap Library. Web library that lets you browse/share/download mind maps in FreeMind format.
