The latest stable release of FreeMind is 1.0.1. Downloading and installation instructions are given below.

Security vulnerabilities

A bug report: A malicious script can cause harm by escaping the security sandbox.

Remedy for the end user: Do not open mind maps from untrustworthy/untrusted sources at all. And to be safe, do not set the FreeMind user property "startup_groovy_script". I, Dan Polansky, have performed an initial analysis of the issue and have not yet finished a more comprehensive analysis of this issue (23 Aug 2026).

Installing FreeMind

FreeMind is written in Java, so it will run on almost any system with a Java runtime environment.

In order to make things easier for you, we've prepared installers for the most common desktop environments: Windows, Linux and Macintosh OS X. You may choose a minimum install that gives you only the basic FreeMind package or a maximum install, which includes plugins for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), Portable Document Format (PDF), reminders and help files.

System requirements

Java Runtime Environment 1.6 or later.

You can find a FreeMind installer that includes Java embedded here:
