MindManager 8 for Mac is a graphical productivity tool that enables users to create interactive diagrams - or mind maps- to let you keep your projects clear and simple, make consistent progress toward your goal, and communicate more effectively. MMM8 starts with a central theme or goal to which you add branches with subtopics containing related ideas and information, which can be supported through the use of notes, images, tasks, hyperlinks and attachments. MindManager 8 for Mac was built to take maximum advantage of the Mac platform.
Keep Your Projects Clearly Defined
Start your success at the start by visualizing every aspect of your project. Bring together all information and ideas from people, websites, and documents onto a single map to see the big picture and also all the details. With MindManager’s visual approach, you can increase clarity and context by organizing complex ideas and discovering structure and relationships between them. Adding annotations like notes, tags, color, and icons further enhances context and meaning. An embedded browser lets you access web content without leaving your map.
Make Consistent Progress Toward Your Goal
MindManager’s integration with native Mac productivity tools like iCal and Address Book eliminates the need to switch back and forth and copy/paste between productivity tools, keeping your focus on turning ideas into action. MindManager provides a single tool for visually brainstorming, managing projects, to-do’s, managing meetings, documenting and implementing best practices, and more.
Communicate Ideas More Effectively
With MindManager, you can communicate a clear strategy and project plan, and thereby produce more predictable results because everyone understands the big picture as well as task requirements and dependencies. Publish and share you maps with anyone in various industry standard formats: as an interactive / clickable PDF document or SWF file, iWorks Keynote or Pages document, or Microsoft Office PowerPoint for Word document.

Create new or import existing appointments, tasks, contacts, and notes with iCal directly from MindManger.
