MindManager for MAC 8

The powerful way to visually organize your information and keep your work moving forward. Think It. See It. Share It.

MindManager 8 for Mac is a visual productivity tool that enables you to organize, manage, and communicate ideas and information to solve problems, drive innovation, and make consistent progress toward your goals. Use it to create interactive diagrams called mind maps that start with a central theme, then add branches with different ideas, notes, images, tasks—even hyperlinks and attachments. You’ll have all the information you need at your fingertips without being overwhelmed, so you can see the big picture as well as the details.

Keep your projects clearly defined

• Visualize every aspect of your project from start to finish, both the big picture and the details.
• Increase clarity and context by consolidating all project information and ideas from people, websites, and documents onto a single map. Add notes, map markers, color, and icons.

Make consistent progress toward your goals

• Turn ideas into action.  MindManager’s integration with native Mac applications like iCal® and Address Book eliminates the need to switch between productivity tools.
• Use a single tool for visually brainstorming, documenting best practices, managing projects, to-do’s, meetings, and more.

Communicate ideas more effectively

• Communicate a clear strategy and plan.
• Share your maps with anyone in their preferred file format.
