Freeplane is a fork of FreeMind, lead by Dimitry Polivaev.

Freeplane uses SourceForge for file downloads.

Freeplane uses GitHub as a code repository and for forums and tickets; it no longer uses SourceForge for these purposes.

System requirements:

  • Freeplane-1.11.4 from 28 May 2023 requires Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 11 (released on 25 September 2018) or later through 17, according to freeplane.exe launcher and per freeplaneGui.lj4.xml source code file.
  • The last version supporting JRE 1.8.0 was Freeplane 1.9.x series: Freeplane 1.9.14.

Announcements of the Freeplane fork in FreeMind forums:

Visuals:

  • Subjectively, as per Dan Polansky, Freeplane 1.9.14 looks, let's say, not so nice: the icons, the white background color in menus, everything says something's wrong. This is so not only in comparison to FreeMind, but also, say, Notepad++.

Download statistics:

  • As 9 June 2023, Freeplane is downloaded about 14,000 times a week[1], whereas FreeMind is downloaded about 6,000 times a week[2]; in April, Freeplane was downloaded about 8,000 times a week.
  • As 9 June 2023, FreeMind's last final release is from 12 April 2014, nearly a decade ago. Freeplane most recent release is from 28 May 2023.
