Mindscope is a new and powerfully simple way to store your thoughts without getting lost in the details. • Quickly create text entries with a double-tap and drag them around, aligning them to each other. Perfect for brainstorming, capturing, and sorting thoughts or taking notes. • Tapping an entry enters its own page where you can create more entries (and as many sub-boards as you like). • Drag entries into other entries to quickly sort your thoughts into categories and projects. • Keep track of lists, todos, notes, and anything else you feel like keeping track of, for example a list of ways to be funny when writing an app description. Or something. • Copy and paste entries including their sub-entries • Export all entries and sub-entries of a board via e-mail as a bullet list. • Import any saved .mindscope file. • Set a default font size for any board (long-press on a font size and select "Set As Default" All of the above, as a universal app, with iCloud sync...completely for free! Yeah, I know, I can't believe it either. You can "pay" me with an App Store review, how does that sound? However, if you are up for spending money, with the "Unlock Everything" in-app purchase, you can also save your own .mindscope files, search through all your entries instantly, create cross-links between boards, create arrows and lines between entries, set up a grid background for a page, set your own colors per page, and export boards to an OPML file (suitable for opening in most major mind-mapping programs). Any upcoming features in future updates will be included for the unlocked version at no extra cost. See a video of Mindscope in action at http://www.mindscopeapp.com Quotes from happy customers: "It’s hitting a sweet spot for me. I have pretty much every single Mind-Mapping or Outlining app for iOS, and this is among the best.” “This is EXACTLY what I've been hoping for. I so need to send flowers to your mother for having you.” "Mindscope is a terrific app, elegant, easy to use, and incredibly useful.” "Scapple for Mac comes closest to Mindscope in its combination of function, ease of use and minimalism but Mindscope is better." "A very cool app. Think of it as Workflowy unbound from the outline."}

Ich habe lange nach einer Alternative zu Scapple gesucht und sie hier gefunden. Mindmap-Maps sind mir in der Regel zu überladen. Ich möchte mich auf das Wesentliche konzentrieren. Was mich bei Mindscope begeistert: Schlichtes Design gepaart mit absoluter Funktionalität.

I got the free version to try and it has a lot of overlapping text. I decided not to buy.

Soon we will all need software like this, as the world becomes faster and thoughts become non-linear. The simplicity of capturing dwindling thoughts with this app is amazing. I use obsidian on my pc, but this is so much simpler in utilization than canvas, love the drawers, the cross-links The only thing it’s missing is infinite (or larger than iPhone screen) canvas & ability to zoom in and out.

MindScope has the perfect balance between functionality and simplicity. It’s easy to learn but also has the features you need to quickly organize your ideas and make them look great. Plus it’s extremely affordable via one time payment. Thank you John!

So far I’m loving this app but a big drawback is not being able to add photos which is important to my digital mind mapping experience as a writer and an artist.

I’m giving Mindscope 4 stars, because I needed a portable, fast way to fill in all aspects of novel planning, that could then be exported to other apps for desktop based planning and writing. I haven’t explored that aspect yet, so I can’t give it 5 just yet. That will be the icing on this cake. On my desktop I use Scapple from Literature and Latte who make Scrivener. Similar reason in the it’s a free placement system. However, I like Mindscope’s hierarchy system. This lets me have a short and snappy top level, and drill down for detail. Scrivener does something similar, but not free placement and the ipad version isn’t as good as the desktop anyway. For reference, I’m still using the free version. But fast approaching buying and unlocking other goodies.

I was looking for a “notes” app that would let me organize my ideas in a more creative way. As a person with ADHD I find this app amazing to work with. Simple interface, clean and very intuitive. I happily paid the extra $5 for the premium version. If you’re looking for a creative way to organize your thoughts and notes give this app a shot. Also, worth noting this is NOT a paid review. I saw another review mentioning this idea.

But I noticed the last update to it was three years ago. I really want to pay for the premium version but not if the app will stop working due to lack of general maintenance.
