There are a lot of other, perhaps less obvious improvements in this new version. The shapes and SmartShapes have been enhanced as well. Less important perhaps, but you can now also make your diagrams richer in information and more engaging with image thumbnails. You can export your MindManager map to OPML and import that into Merlin or OmniPlan. Most software developers will find MindManager useful enough, though. Having said that, I do think you’ll need a more powerful app such as OmniPlan or Merlin Project for large, complex projects. Version 13 has a Gantt view, a quite basic one, but the Gantt capability comes with the cost and project time functionality that you will find in every project management app. That should definitely be sped up in an update.Ĭalendar synchronisation might be important, but as you can now use MindManager as a project management tool, it may matter less than it did before as you’re bound to spend more time with MindManager than you used to. The events feature works a little slow as it collects all calendar data from Calendar every time you add an event. However, those dropped events - which, as far as MindManager is concerned, aren’t events but just elements of a mind map - won’t synchronise at all. If you want to add any MindManager task to a calendar, you can drag it from MindManager to Calendar or Fantastical and it will appear where you drop it. If you adjust the time of the event in MindManager, it won’t automatically ripple through to your calendar app. Automatic synchronisation doesn’t work the other way around, though. What is nowhere mentioned as far as I could tell is that, if you change the event in Apple Calendar or Fantastical, it automatically updates in MindManager. Either you create new ones or insert them from existing events in your Apple Calendar. Very important in my opinion is that you can insert calendar events. Snap is part of MindManager Go which gives you cross-device access to your mind maps, synchronising through Box, Dropbox, Google, OneDrive or SharePoint.Īlso new is that you can extend your desktop with Sidecar (couldn’t test that haven’t got a sidecar-capable iOS device). Very well though out, this feature, but a pity it’s not available on the desktop. What’s been sent or used is also instantly trashed on the iOS device to save storage space. Once you’ve captured the data, it is immediately sent to the Mac. I tried it and it really works incredibly well fast and with a user-friendly interface on iOS. It allows you to capture content from anywhere, using your iOS (or Android) device and add it to the queue for later use in any mind map. If you tag a few topics as Kanban, the Tag view lets you switch between Kanban and ordinary views quickly and easily.Ī second new feature is the MindManager Snap function. Now, the beauty of the way it’s been implemented lies not so much in the fact that you can organise things the Kanban way, but that you don’t necessarily need to organise your mind map in a Kanban view. In MindManager for Mac 13 it has both its own view and tags. One new template is the Kanban template which is a sort of task management system invented by some Japanese company. Lets’ first start with the new templates. It is a full-scale project management tool, complete with Gantt charts, project costing, resource allocation, a choice between simple mind maps and flowcharts, and more. MindManager for Mac is not a simple idea collection tool like there are so many for the platform.
