What software do you usually use to draw mind maps?

Many people will ask this question, what software is used to draw mind maps?

In fact, this is really a complicated problem, because there are many softwares to choose from. Moreover, each software has its own advantages and characteristics, and its existence is reasonable.

Many times, the increase of options is not a happy thing, just an increase of choices.

For ordinary people who eat melons, there is absolutely no need to know so much about 7788. Just find an easy-to-use, sufficient and easy-to-use software.

Therefore, this article is simple and rude, and it is directly recommended without serious comparative analysis.

The essence of this question is what tools to use to draw mind maps. Look at the picture:

According to the different carriers, it can be roughly divided into two categories, one is paper and pen, and the other is software.

For the advantages and disadvantages of paper and pen, and the comparison between paper and pen and software, please refer to the article "Hand-drawn mind map or software mind map?" Details were released earlier by this official WeChat account. 》

How to use paper strokes for mind mapping? I wrote a very detailed tutorial. Except for the painting that is not step by step, everything else is quite conscience. If you are interested, you can read How to Hand-draw Mind Map. (super detailed version).

I was criticized by Dr. Cui Jia because there was no step-by-step drawing. I should listen carefully to the doctor's criticism, so I wrote an article "Teaching you to draw mind maps by hand", which was drawn step by step.

Both articles are worthy of reference, and each has its own purport. The only similarity is that the pictures are not nice.

Ugliness is actually a kind act, which will give readers confidence! Cut it, draw it like this, and give it back to the teacher? ! Look at me!

If you refuse to accept it and start painting, then my mind map will be ugly and too valuable! Ha ha.

Software drawing can be divided into computer version, mobile phone version and network version according to different carriers.

The computer version, whether it is Apple operating system, lunix system or Microsoft system, strongly recommends xmind, and the free version is enough. (I haven't used the other two systems, sorry. )

For recommended reasons, please refer to the four reasons for recommending using xmind to draw mind maps.

How to download, install and register xmind cloud account can refer to the article "Download, install and register xmind in cloud storage".

How to draw a picture, you can refer to the article "Drawing a Mind Guide Diagram in Four Steps with xmind".

I let out a little secret responsibly. Now we know that xmind was originally made in China, but the company is registered in Hong Kong, and the English version is very international.

By the way, although the free version is very powerful, you may need the paid version of xmind. After all, the paid version can export word, excel, ppt, pdf, high-definition pictures and other formats, and can also be combined with Gantt Chart and brainstorming mode. Enthusiasts love powder.

If you just need to buy a paid version of the software, you can come to me, which is a little cheaper than official website, because I am xmind certified by the headquarters, and I can get this discount. Authenticator has the picture and the truth:

CXM certificate

(xmind also has strong educational feelings. Both teachers and students have special editions for education, and the price is less than 30%, which is a big discount, but teachers' qualification certificates and student ID cards are required. )

The mobile version, Apple mobile phone and Android mobile phone all recommend the Mind Map APP. You can enter these four words directly in the APP STORE or Android App Store and it will come out.

Please refer to mindmanager recommended by Apple's mobile phone (iPad) for the recommended reasons.

If it is online, it is recommended to use Baidu Brain Map, which is produced by Baidu and made in China.

For related articles, please refer to "Four Reasons for Recommending Using Baidu Brain Map to Draw Mind Map".

It is said that there is also a powerful three-dimensional mindmanager, the brain. I used it briefly and have no experience, so I won't mention it here.

These softwares are all recommended by me. Because of the limitation of personal vision, they are not necessarily the best, but they can be used.

I wrote an article with the same name six months ago, but times have changed, so I wrote another one.
