Map elements are added by utilizing two simple toolbars, one at the top and the other at the bottom of the screen. IThoughts makes the most of the diminutive iPhone screen.

Here’s a look at what’s notable about this remarkable little visual mapping program: Developed by CMS, iThoughts provides a well-designed, easy-to-use set of tools that enabled me to create mind maps that incorporate icons, notes, links and colors, quickly and easily. I recently purchased an iPod Touch and tried out iThoughts, along with several of its competitors. I tried several other mindmap apps on iOS until I found Freemind - and it's definitely the best of those I tried.IThoughts, one of the most promising new mind mapping tools for the iPhone and iPod Touch, provides an impressive amount of functionality in a very small package. I also use iThoughts on iPhone (thought not very frequently). I'll definitely check out MindDgo, but for me so far, iThoughtsHD is just as good as having freemind on my iPad - maybe better. mm files (and virtually every other mindmap format out there, it seems) it excellent. There's an option in Freemind to updating a loaded mindmap when it detects that the file has been changed on thefilesystem (which will happen when you push your changes to DropBox in iThoughtsHD). (I used the Server VPN to access them when away from my home network).Ģ) iThoughts HD has DropBox support - so if I'm willing to keep my mindmaps under a DropBox subfolder, it makes pretty much for an iCloud-like workflow. mm files that are available via WebDAV shares on my Mac. That way I can use iThoughtsHD to access any. I used Freemind and iThoughtsHD together, opening and updating the same documents (not both at the same time of course) in two ways:ġ) iThoughtsHD has WebDAV support, so I used File Sharing on the Mac (I think Lion Server is required for this, I have it). Usability is even better from the latest updates.
