10 Best Mac OS X Anti-Spyware and Anti-Virus Software for Free. There are two types of mind mapping brainstorming tools, online and offline. Based on my experience, I prefer ‘open source’ offline version as they tends to offer more features, unlimited usage and more control over how I save the files. FreeMind is intended for editing Mind maps, XML/HTML documents, and directory trees. In future, even network-structures will be supported such as Topic Maps (ISO).

Mind mapping is a terrific visual method for capturing thoughts and ideas. For business or personal use, a mind map is ideal for brainstorming sessions and helps you organize your concepts easily.
If want a stellar mind mapping app for Mac, the App Store has plenty. The problem is that most are paid and expensive at that. But luckily there are several free mind map apps that have great features and are a breeze to use.
1. SimpleMind
Getting started with SimpleMind Lite is just as the name implies: simple. This mind mapping software has an intuitive interface that lets you create a mind map in a snap.
First, pick your style. You can choose from a variety of options like bright colors, chart, grayscale, and colors on black. Then to add nodes, you can either click the plus sign on your current node or the Add Child Topic button from the toolbar. To insert text into a node, click the T on the current node or double-click inside the shape.
Other features include:
- Undo and redo buttons
- Print and zoom options
- Freeform or horizontal layouts
- Color palettes and custom colors
- Easy deletion and clipboard options
You can use SimpleMind Lite for free and without ads. But if you would like additional features like Dropbox and Google Drive sync, media and document options, or app customizations, check out the paid version.

The toolbar is intuitive and lets you create topics and subtopics with a click. Double-click inside a node to add the text. If you want a number or progress symbol, just hit the Assets button. Move all nodes freely and zoom in or out for different views.
Other features include:
- Ability to add notes to nodes

Other features include:

- Change the line and fill color of nodes
- Choose node and child node shapes
- Add objects like emojis and symbols

- I recently found Big Hairy Goal on the Mac App Store. I really like the simplicity without any fuzz that makes me concentrate on what I am thinking about while it still has many useful features.
- So far FreePlane (FreeMind clone) worked pretty well for me with mindmaps.But I'm going to try some of these to see if I can find something with lower memory footprint.
