PCWorld: Need An Extra Brain? Try The PersonalBrain Mindmapper App

PersonalBrain is not only intuitive, it looks nerdily cool as well and the animations in the interface help reinforce connections between ideas.


“PersonalBrain (available in a Free Edition, as well as paid editions) is quite possibly most intuitive mind mapping utility on the planet. Beyond that, its user interface looks like something that came straight out of Star Trek, making it the nerdily coolest-looking mind mapping tool I’ve seen.

The primary unit of organization in the application is called a Brain (as you might expect). Each Brain is composed of thoughts–essentially, idea components, tasks, or goals–which can be created with a double-click and associated with one another freely. Thoughts connect to one another not merely in a parent-child hierarchy, but can cross-connect to other thoughts.”
