  1. Evernote is the best!

    You may also want to check http://www.SpiderScribe.net for a modern mind mapping app – web based.

    Also smartQ (www.getsmartQ.com) – it’s like Trello, though it’s been around longer and has some powerful features like customized ticket fields – I think there is a demo on their website.

    Also, I would add Dropbox – easily accessing files from anywhere… Though Google Drive is growing strong too. Those are “must have” apps.

  2. I’ll check out SpiderScriber…how does it compare to Mindjet or MindGenius?

    Are there any relevant features that make it stand out?

  3. SpiderScribe? VERY simple – I’ve seen 7th graders use it in no time. Connects files, images, calendar events and even Google maps. Plus it’s not a traditional mind mapping – it’s more like concept mapping, since it allows connecting nodes in any way (does not require one central node). So it can also serve as a wall to post pictures, ideas, etc.
    Plus it has a free edition that does everything – other mapping tools are just an overkill for me personally.
