MindApp is a new mind mapping software program for Windows that was launched last month by Varatek Software. This developer’s expertise is in creating hierarchical breakdowns – visual outlines – of programs, spreadsheets and other data, using Warnier/Orr diagrams. Its flagship product is B-Liner, a software program that helps users to analyze complex processes and break them down into their components. Here is a summary of the features offered by MindApp:
- Familiar, MS-Office-like interface
- Sharp, anti-aliased text and graphics
- Notes associated with topics
- An unlimited number of hyperlinks
- Multiple icons/symobols per topic
- Support for background images
- 18 different layout options
I asked a Varatek executive the obvious question: Why launch a new mind mapping program into an already crowded marketplace? Here’s what he had to say:
"Varatek has been publishing hierarchical productivity software since 1984, and this is our entry into the mind mapping market. We saw an opportunity to offer a high quality, low cost mind mapping product using the core of our existing technologies. MindApp was built for price conscious professionals who need a high quality mind mapping tool. We put a lot of effort into making sure that the UI was modern and easy to use and that the maps MindApp creates are professional looking and can be used for presentations or publication."
