2005Genius - Cool Freebie Windows App for Organizing Ideas
26
2005
Lately, I’ve been trying to find a good application for jotting down all kinds of random things that pop into my head. I tried getting used to “OneNote”, but boy that program is really overkill when you just want to jot down bits of text. I looked into “mindmapping” programs (most are too expensive - nor do they really seem to work for me). I tried some “outliners” - didn’t really do it for me either. Anyway, I found a very nifty free little application called Genius, which might finally do the trick. It’s a very simple program, so it would be quicker for you to download and play around with it, than to read a long review from me, so go get it!

I highly recommend FreeMind. It’s a mindmapper, but free, open source, and cross platform (written in Java). It took me just a minute to learn the keyboard shortcuts for navigation and creating sibling/daughter ‘thoughts’ and now I find it highly intuitive to use.
