About
Freeplane is free mind mapping software based on FreeMind. Uses include knowledge and project management; writing theses, essays and books; creating simple web pages (like this one); note taking; brainstorming - and many others. The codebase has been completely refactored and we have some new features. Freeplane is completely free and open source. Due to our short release cycle, you will see Freeplane progress very quickly.
