Xmind Mind Mapping

[Jade Jinkins]

I think it should strongly be considered: where tags could be viewed as nodes w/in a "mind map." I think Evernote is ignoring the ever so massive film industry. I'm currently writing a TV show in EN b/c the structure of the software is so perfect for building out many scenes and characters that can be puzzled together as they come to life.


I just wish for the day when my notes will structure dialogue, action, and slug-lines for me. And when I struggle with the season 2 finale I can flick my tags to mind map view, see the big picture, then flick back and write a well constructed episode that encompasses the entirety of the series.

There are several types of way to use ConceptDraw MindMap and Evernote. The "Add Document" setting sends to Evernote an image of the mind map, the text from the mind map in outline format, and the file itself. That way you have complete access to information. Of course you can then share your map content with others.


Hi - welcome to the forums. I raised this ages ago - I've been a long-time advocate of mind -mapping and use it for anything new or complicated. Evernote's database and search functions are two aspects of a potentially killer MM app - all you need is the GUI. However while the Powers that Be have discussed the topic we don't know if there's any planned development. And Evernote typically don't share or discuss future plans. Thanks for raising it again though.


You can of course attach your mindmap files to notes in their native format, and as OCR-able pictures to help with the management of a large library of files. But beware that maps which have sub-maps don't like being stored anywhere but on your hard drive. You'd lose the link. Single files just open in the app when clicked and save back to the note when closed, like any other files created with proprietary software.


So I am looking for a mindmap app where I can save the mindmap file in an Evernote note, and then open the file on my Mac or iPhone and edit the mind map, and then when I click save the changes are saved in the file in Evernote.


What are the mindmapping tools people are using to integrate with Evernote? I've been testing Mindomo, XMind, and Curio (Mac only). I'm looking for something where, at a minimum, I can either link to a web-based map or easily open a mindmap in Evernote to edit. I use mindmaps a lot to brainstorm new project ideas, and I use Evernote for my GTD and my general "hub" application. Thanks!


I've tried a bunch of mindmapping tools such MindManager, FreeMind, etc and now I use Mindomo on my MacBook and Android phone. I rate it highly. There is also an iOS app. I just tried saving, opening and saving from Evernote and it worked fine.


Mohiomap is exactly the kind of mindmapping software I have been looking for! It is wonderful for organizing my notebooks in Evernote, but I would love to be able to use it to brainstorm and plan out my writing projects. I use Windows and have tried several different types of mindmapping software, but I keep running into the same problem; either it's not compatible with Evernote or it doesn't work for my needs. There seems to be a lot of great products out there for Mac users, but not so many for Windows.


So I would definitely like to cast my vote for new Mohiomap features that would allow for regular mindmapping in Evernote! ConceptMind looks like the only other option available for Windows at the moment, but I'd rather hold out if possible because Mohiomap would be perfect with those upgrades.






This would be a game changer for me. I use evernote as a repository for stuff, rather than primarily working in it, as I do all my thinking in mind maps. Please please please sort this one out - very good open source mind maps out there to base it on.


Freemind may not be as glossy as all the commercial tools, but once you make a mind map, you can attach the file to a note and then edit it from the note. As an opensource tool, it often acts as an exchange format. Thus, you may find your glossy presentation styler can import freemind format mindmaps.


Evernote should be making mindmaping extension on their own. It would be so supercool being able to connect notes into mindmap and then use mindmap as launcher for notes. Also exploring connection between notes would be very useful. At the end of the day thats why one takes notes and making notebooks and stacks ... its about seeing the bigger picture.


I use Evernote to plan out a lot of things like workflow, coding algorithms, writing an engineering paper or solving a complicated problem, managing a group of co-workers in two projects.

It would be great if we could draw mind-maps or work-flow charts like things - within Evernote. It would help me to plan my tasks and manage stuff better.

Quick thread update: for those of you looking for Ashley and his app CardDesk, which used to have a home in the mind mapping discussion here, it has been moved back to the third party applications area here: -carddesk-a-visual-organiser-for-evernote/


Does anyone do any decent mind-mapping save to Evernote? It's one of those things that would be *incredibly useful* as an official Evernote extension, but meanwhile I've searched but found nothing that does any basic "Save in to" options.


I think you're out of luck there. What I have done on occasion is create a mind map with the Skitch tools on a blank background image... however one cannot create links in the text in annotation mode.


How about doing the whole thing in reverse?... Why not pop your EN note link into a mind-map node?... It should open the note within the Evernote app easily on mobile device. You should be able to do this with MindMeister, for instance. I do this all the time with apps such as Trello and my iOS Calendar app.


I find this to be a slippery topic. "Integration" could mean just about anything. To me, it would mean that I can embed a mind map in Evernote, edit it, and then save it back to Evernote. I can't think of a reason to link an Evernote note to a MindMap, but I can think of a lot of reasons to have searchable, editable mind maps in Evernote.


I've been looking for a long time for applications that can use Evernotes in a mindmap and I just can't find one.

Some apps export to Evernote but that can always be done via a jpg.

Others use opml interchange on the ipad (notably mindly and ideament)


Note links from Evernote can be added to mind-map nodes so you can jump from one to the other, and mind-map layouts an be saved as JPGs (and in other formats depending on your source software) into a note; you can even save a mind-map in its source format into a note, and edit it from the note (assuming you have the software installed on your device) - just double-click the file name to open it.


I definitely would like to suggest Evernote to implement a mind map function to let users organize their idea. It will be much more helpful! And Graphs too! As graphical notes really help people to memorize and read easier


I'll +1 for mind-mapping; would be nice to be able to use a mind-map layout on notes to show the hierarchy and connections between them. That would tie in though with a general revision of the way in which new notes and new links are created - how would I show that one note heading is a child link from another, and a 'tag' style connection to several others?


A quick search of the forums suggests there have been around 140 separate threads requesting this in various OS's at various times. Totally agree with you, some kind of mind-map extension would be great to have... hope Evernote can merge all these requests into one mega-thread!


What I'd like to see is the option of data entry via the kind of freeform connections map that Xmind and Freeplane et al. support, but with the nodes of information stored in Evernote notes. This would give a MohioMap* style display as an option, but also allow editing of individual nodes as simple notes.


Not sure which tutorial you looked at, but the paperclip icon is used to add files as attachments to a note. This is one of the strengths of the EN product. The file attachment could be any format: image, PDF, word-processing, spreadsheet ...including mind map
