DropMind is a mind mapping app created by the company Seavus. Mind maps help people visualize complex thoughts or concepts in a more tangible, chart-based format. DropMind stands out from the crowd of brainstorming and mind mapping tools by promoting their unique four-sphere layout. This is what makes DropMind unlike any other mind-mapping app out there (and there are already quite a few similar tools available).
The four-sphere layout essentially means that the topics are arranged automatically around the central topic—that is, either above, below, to the left, or to the right of the central topic. This is a different, and possibly more effective way of mind mapping, though admittedly we’re not sure it’s enough to make DropMind the clear winner. We’re still accustomed to dragging topics around and placing items wherever we wish.
Still, there are other reasons to consider DropMind. It comes loaded with powerful features, including a collaborative element where you can chat with other users, be notified when your project has been updated, and publish mind maps online for anyone to see. You can also drastically modify the design of your Mind-map by altering colors, styles, adding icons & images, hyperlinks and more. Overall, DropMind is a good addition to the suite of mind-mapping applications on the market.

I am a heavy MindManager user since 2002 but very opened to new suggestions. This is why I have for instance recently purchased TheBrain as an addition to the MindManager.
Quite honestly, I have downloaded DropMind and evaluated it. I do not see what added value it brings to existing users of mind mapping solutions such as the MindManager.
Hi Eric,
I must say that Seavus DropMind is unique with its web and desktop application integration through export/import functionality.
Separately, the desktop application makes the most of the core mind mapping functionalities with single click
navigation and an intuitive user interface. It uses the standard ribbon toolbar, very familiar to the MindManager users, but at the time being it is completely for free. With its commercial release there will be much more features to come and very available price to all users.
The web application offers unique creation of mind maps and effective and rapid review of information. Its original 4 sphere map layout allows the users to use the whole map space and arrange the topics up, down, left and right from the central topic. What I personally favor is its presentation mode which is very dynamic and exciting for me. I even replaced Power Point with Seavus DropMind’s presentation mode.
I can say that more integration is coming and many new features, which I think will add value to your work and you will be able to save more money on the bought licenses.
I would kindly ask you to send us your comments (contact@dropmind.com). We would love to hear what you are missing and you do not like inside the application, so we would be able to further develop DropMind according to your needs.
Have a great day,
Natalija
Agree, today we have a lot of good mind mapping tools, which help us to collaborate online and share info. Seavus DropMind is one of them.
