The FreeMind Project

Taking the concept-mapping approach to Human-computer interface design.

Try the brand new FreeMind Browser Applet

(You need Java and JavaScript to run it.)

Without Javascript:
FreeMind for Netscape
FreeMind for Internet Explorer If you are not interested in the internals, you can see FreeMind as a Mindmapping tool. All FreeMind users currently use it as a Mindmapping tool. But keep in mind that FreeMind is even more than that.

Because FreeMind is written in Java, it will run on virtually any computer. Just try it! :-)



A bit more technically speaking, FreeMind is a general tool for editing tree-structured data. That means, FreeMind is intended for editing Mind maps, XML/HTML Documents, Directory trees etc. In future, even network-structures will be supported, ie. Topic Maps (ISO) etc. All these data is represented to the user as a Mind map. This is achived with a modular design, which makes it possible to easily write modules, only designing the model of the problem (the data structure), without caring for the visual representation at all. Currently a Mind Mapping and a File Mode are implemented. Other modes should follow soon.
