![]() The biggest difference between TB and the others is whatever is in focus, whatever topic (they call them ‘thoughts’) is active, it is front and center. But it makes up for it with a lot of customization of the background, color, and font. You can choose normal (default), mindmap, or outline. Sometimes I want it to go from top-down and other times to the side. But while you can move them around, there is no preset layout to choose from. NM lets you move a topic and all its “child topics” move with it. I wish SimpleMind (SM) and NovaMind (NM) would merge into one software, though. Like, there’s some cool shortcuts and “cheats” that you only find out about from others on the forum or if you glean it from a video.

There is a forum you can go to for assistance. ![]() They only have videos for the latest version. The biggest drawback to the software, other than the price, is the help options. Which is what I have done with my Writing Brain. And you can mark certain parts of the brain as private and other parts public. You can mark the entire brain as ‘public’ which means anyone with the URL can access it. You can mark the entire brain as ‘private’ which means no one but you and whoever you choose has access to it. The software syncs between the desktop, the app, and the web version. I’ve cleaned up my Writing Brain and will share the link to it. ![]() But what I am falling in love with and wish I could justify the cost of is TheBrain. Currently, I have a subscription for Novamind (which I will cancel) and I have a paid version of SimpleMind (which I will keep). I’ve demoed a LOT of mindmap programs and some are super simple to the point of being painful and others are super shiny to the point of being ghastly expensive. I was going to write another article of mindmapping resources but meh, too much work.
