Structure your mind now!

With XMind, you can effortlessly plan your meeting by creating agendas and finalizing details in a single map with a hierarchical structure. All map information can be captured easily by filtering with markers and labels. During the meeting, you can use XMind to conduct your presentation. The full content of the topic at hand will be displayed across the entire screen, allowing audience members to focus on certain points or grasp a specific idea. Meanwhile, an audio notes feature will allow you to record everyone's voice as separate attachments.

XMind lets you instantly collect ideas without disrupting the brainstorming process to define their precise wording or positioning. 'Enter' and 'Tab' keys provide a quick way to bring your ideas onto maps as topics, while filters and Drilldowns place emphasis on particular topics. All information recorded in XMind will be presented as a mind map, but can be easily displayed as fishbone charts, 2D charts, and other structures. This will allow you to visually convey causal relationships in complex ideas or events, perform accurate cause and effect analysis, better organize materials, and much more!

XMind empowers teams to creatively and rapidly share ideas and information on a scalable visual map. Through powerful yet simple visualization, groups can collaborate more effectively to reach important conclusions or achieve desired results. Any related information, such as file, documents, or images, can be included in XMind as attachments. Entire maps can be separated into smaller, more focused multi-maps. Or, multiple maps can be easily merged into one! And maps can be exported into a variety of formats, including Word, PPT, PDF, RTF, and images files for fast and simple distribution.
