By using it correctly, one can turn a vortex of illegible data points hovering in one’s head into a decent framework which can be executed upon. Basically, you start with a central idea and then build branches around it. Thus you are creating visual connection and establishing a relationship between the data points, making it easier to remember and organize them. As always, there are tons of apps which can help you do that on your Mac.

Mac apps are generally available in one of two places: the Mac App Store or the developer’s website. Since Apple takes a 30% cut on any apps sold in the App Store a lot of developers are reluctant to use it, which makes things a little more complicated than on iOS. The right apps are truly the marketer’s best friend. But which apps to choose? Here’s a list of the top three apps for each of the four key marketing areas.

We scoured through them and found the 9 best Mind Mapping Apps for your Mac: 1. IMindMap Very rarely we come across a tool which is leaps and bounds better than its competitors. IMindMap is a part of that rarity. Using this software is pure pleasure. It is packed with features and yet is so simple that even a child can get started.

You start by creating a central idea and then create branches by just hitting enter. The branches are colour-coded and contain text input. You can attach images, videos, links, and notes. The best part is that attachments (even the videos) open in a pop-up window hence they do not require you to leave the app.

My favorite feature of this app is “idea capture”. When you are in the idea capture tab, there are no distractions. You just type and hit enter to capture an idea and repeat the process until you are done. The ideas are captured in bubbles connected by a line which organizes them as sub-branches of a single branch. There is also an inbuilt tab where you can brainstorm to come up with new ideas. It looks like a board with sticky notes attached to it. You can create sticky notes and move them between different categories.

This software is used for downloading on Mac OS and it is used to format SD memory cards in addition to SDHC memory cards, SDXC memory cards, and SD Formatters. This software is recommended as it results in the optimal performance for memory cards. Before you start, you need to mount the SD or micro SD card on your Mac. If you have a Mac with an SD card slot, use that. If not, you’ll need an SD card adapter like the Anker 8-in-1 card reader. How can the answer be improved? Best format for sd card mac.

All in all, this is the best Mind mapping tool you can buy today. None of the others come even close to it when it comes to functionality and features. The only negative I could find about this software is its load time.
