Freeplane Benefits

Benefits

The main benefits of Freeplane are its natural text editing, ability to add information intuitively, independent nodes, integrations and extensions. Here are more details:

Natural Text Editing

Freeplane offers you a working space where you can create mind maps quickly without breaking a sweat. Adding content to the mind maps is as easy as writing on a text editor. Aside from that, the platform also gives its users the capability to re-organize their mind map without having to deal with hassles and difficulties.

Ability to Add Information Intuitively

Freeplane helps its users position their content intuitively so there is no need to worry about where to place the pieces of information. Apart from that, the platform also automatically arranges headings and paragraphs but still gives users the freedom to arrange or reassemble content afterward.

Independent Nodes and Automated Formatting

With Freeplane, users can create independent nodes within their mind maps. The nodes are separated from the tree structure so you can move them with ease. The automated formatting feature, on the other hand, eliminates the need to spend a significant amount of time formatting your content. With this feature, the platform automatically formats and styles your content and even gives users additional tools for more details.

Integrations and Extensions

Freeplane can be integrated with Docear Academic Literature suite. The latter is open-source software that allows users to manage information. Also, users can install add-ons in the application to extend its functionalities. You can find and get shared ones on Freeplane’s website or simply make your own.
