“A very popular open source free downloadable mind mapping program that exports to Word/Open Office. It is useful for project-building and workload organisation, but doesn’t allow you to change the background colour, which is shame. However, if you’re keen to start mind mapping and cost is an issue than Free Mind is a brilliant place to start.”

Free Mind
FreeMind is a free mind mapping application written in Java, which runs on most operating systems. FreeMind allows the user to arrange an ordered set of ideas around a central concept. The non-linear approach assists in brainstorming new outlines and projects as ideas are added around the mind map.
