Standout and get your message remembered as iMindMap smoothly animates your Maps so that they grow branch by branch. Wow your crowd by zooming in and out on branches, link direct to any files, websites or other Mind Maps, all from within your presentation.

Want to link to a spreadsheet, document, or even another presentation? No problem. It takes just seconds. Never has it been so easy to create a professional presentation from start to finish. Say goodbye to having to export to linear slide-show presentation tools. Now you can do it all from within iMindMap Ultimate.

Project Management

Ultimate's Project Management Mode is essential for anyone who needs to manage people or tasks. Create Mind Maps to scope projects then add your tasks, dates, predecessors, milestones and durations . Task progress icons are displayed within your Mind Map. View as a Gantt chart, Task Table or Mind Map. Tasks, milestones and contacts can be fully integrated with Outlook® and you can also Export your work to Project®.

Audio Notes

Capture ideas and thoughts instantly before they are lost. Our Audio Note capability will allow you to record yours or a group member's voice and then attach it to your branches. Ideal for brainstorming sessions, for authoring and group discussions or projects whether in business or education. You can then export your audio notes as .wav files – to use in other software programs or if you want to transcribe your ideas.

Advanced Export and Import Options

Ultimate provides full integration with a host of different Office and OpenOffice tools including spreadsheets (Excel® and Calc), Microsoft Project® and Outlook®.

You can also export your Mind Maps as SVGs to use in packages such as Adobe Illustrator.

Import and Export as OPML (Outline Processor Markup Language) allows you to keep up with the latest technology so that you can import information into iMindMap or export your Mind Map and use its hierarchy outside of the software.

Focus In and Out

This useful command enables you to concentrate on one part of your Mind Map at a particular time without the visual distraction of the rest of your map.

When you focus in on a selected branch, the program hides the rest of your map and treats the selected branch as a new central idea, with the child branches now turning into main branches. You can then Mind Map freely, entirely focused on your new central idea, adding content to that section of your map.

When you've finished developing that section of your map, simply select focus out, and your original Mind Map will appear to display the entire map once again with your new thoughts added in.

This feature helps you concentrate, giving you a clear thinking space and focusing your attention on one area at a time.

Expand and Collapse

Expand or collapse branches whilst you work allowing you to show small parts of your workspace at any given time. This feature allows you to maximise your workspace by using the expand and collapse icons. Ideal for presentations and keeping your audience focused.

Full Integration

iMindMap Ultimate allows integration with Microsoft Office, OpenOffice.Org and iWork (including Mac and Linux).

Screen Capture

Take a snapshot of sections of your map and share with colleagues or friends, without having to go through the exporting process. Instantly capture parts of your map and paste into other applications in a graphic format. It is also a valuable feature for adding your maps to reports or business plans.
