Before, you could have a free mind or Xmind document exported that would stay in sync with the iThoughts mind map, and a fresh pdf exported each time the map was updated). If there is one feature I would like to come back, it would be the auto-synching to other file formats (Ex. This truly is a one in a million kind of app because it takes someone who uses his app day in and day out to reach this point. Very few apps can stay great for so many years and continue to respect its long-time users. It has matured greatly over the several years of development that has taken place. It continues to respect operating system conventions and new features added to the OS. The app feels more powerful and not more difficult or complex to use. The developer had created a great mind mapping experience then, and has improved the app ever since while keeping the user experience pristine. I have used this app since it was released for the original iPad. Please visit the website for more information, screenshots and videos.

Try the free iThoughts2go app first. Mindmapping enables you to visually organise your thoughts, ideas and information. All of which can be done on the iPad as you wonder about the house then move it to the home computer for all to see and use.IThoughts is a mindmapping tool for the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch (Mac and Windows versions also available.)
Color code to know who is assigned to the work. Yard work can get an added mowing which leads to weeding onto raking the leaves… and do on.
With Mind Mapping software, you just tap and drag and add some more family members.įamily Chores: Outline software is popular, again a bit locked down for something that can be fluid like family chores. Normally, Family Tree software can make it more difficult to add and move branches around. There are no software restrictions on adding more lines to a family when they have a new addition.
The desktop software comes in a free version (imports/exports to the iPad version via an eMail) and a pro version (imports/exports to the iPad via direct connection between app and desktop).įamily Tree: while a mind map can look very much like a tree, most wouldn’t think to actually branch their family history out but it’s a natural fit.
