Beautiful Layouts

Personalize the mind map and transform it into concept maps or outlines if the layout suits it better. Arrange it the way you imagine it in your brain with one click and some dragging and dropping.

When people suddenly understand something, they say “Oh, I see!”

Seeing things helps you to understand them at a glance. Imagine that someone gave you a written description of a busy road junction. It would be hard to get a good idea of what is going on.

No two people would have the same interpretation. But if they showed you a picture of the junction instead, you would immediately know whether it is an efficient design or an ugly mess. It would take only a few more seconds to spot hazards, see what is happening and anticipate what is about to happen. Your mind is faster and better at interpreting visual scenes than dealing with complicated text.

Mindomo can help you brainstorming, developing, and communicating your ideas in many different types of visualization, including Mind Maps. Everything starts with the brainstorming session and it can develop further.

Digital Mind Maps and other forms of “tree” diagrams have a unique and powerful property: you can add virtually unlimited amounts of detail. If you need to describe something in more detail, you just break it down into more branches.

Mind Mapping is perfect for things that seem simple at the start but get more detailed as you begin to understand them better. Mindomo takes care of rearranging the diagram so that information does not overlap, stays beautiful, and is easy to navigate.

We can describe a diagram as beautiful when the layout elegantly reflects the essence of a situation. The mind map becomes part of your thinking, changing your perceptions and pinpointing where more attention is needed. It gives you “I see!” moments that are hard to reach by thinking in words and phrases.

A Mind Map shows you what the big ideas are, and where all the detail belongs. A Concept Map shows you how things affect each other. A Gantt Chart shows you what is happening and in what order. A Text Outline helps you to think about the flow of a linear document. All these things can be seen in a few seconds with the right type of visualization tool. Mindomo effortlessly creates all these types of diagrams.

Your favorite mind mapping software with ready-made themes

Every picture tells a story, and first impressions count. A clean and tidy mind map with an eye-catching design tells its own story, even before you start to read the ideas. It says that the author cares about what is in the diagram and how others will react to it. Even if you are working alone, this still matters.

Small things can distract you from your best work. Mindomo is a mapping tool that knows this and includes a range of features to help you create great-looking diagrams. You can control the exact style, font, shape, and color of individual topics, or you can use a theme that automatically keeps everything consistent.

Collaborative editor

“More minds are better than one”, they said. Generate and organize ideas along with your team members using a real-time collaborative software.

As an individual, capturing your ideas using a tool like Mindomo is a very productive process. As you develop and extend your diagram it gives you direct feedback, leading to a better understanding and new ideas. You discover that you know more than you thought.

Explaining your ideas helps you to see connections and patterns that you had not thought about before. This is the same effect as describing a problem to someone else. As you begin to explain, you realize in mid-sentence that you probably know the answer already. Explaining the problem unlocks a deeper understanding.

When you do this in a work environment, the effects are even more powerful. Working collaboratively on a project with others creates much more than the sum of the parts – it creates a shared understanding. Genuine team alignment can transform a project. Jointly building a picture resolves assumptions and misunderstandings in a way that emails or formal meetings never can.

A Mindomo mind map or any other type of diagram is more than just words; it captures context, meaning, and intent. Everyone who works on a diagram together has a deeper understanding of the issues and the perspectives of their colleagues.

Live chat

Every mind map has a chat visible to all the users who are editing it. Thanks to instant messaging, each user can communicate easily and fast with the rest of the team. In addition, you save precious time by not using a third party messaging app or communicating via email. Moreover, it is more convenient for your team. the chat is in the same window as your mind map, so you can write something and also drag and drop topics on the same screen.

Email notifications

You can opt for receiving real time notifications or task reminders on your email address. For example, you can choose to be notified when tasks are assigned, due, overdue, or completed, there are new tasks comments or updates, due dates are set, etc. All users will be up to date in real time. There’s no need to keep sticky notes/ pen and paper or create reminders in other apps. Your mind mapping tool will take care of that.

Share

You can keep your diagrams private or share them with other users instantly. Choose the action that you allow the other person to do: edit, view only, or view and copy. They can receive an email notification or you can send them a link to access it. In addition, for more security, you can set a password to access the diagrams. Moreover, you can share your mind maps on social media instantly.

Task assignment

For better task management or project management and an overview of the teamwork, you can assign the task to your team. You can use it for project planning or for tracking the progress of each user by seeing who has to take care of each task of the project. Each user can be notified in real time when you (or someone else) create a new task. You can also be notified of the progress if you want.
