Notes, Links, and Trash – Now on visionOS

Yesterday, we released our first major update of MindNode for Apple Vision Pro. With MindNode 2024.2 we are adding beloved features from MindNode Classic like Notes and Text Links. We are further enhancing MindNode Next with Improved Text Collaboration and a Trash folder.

Notes

Notes allow you to add more context and detailed information to your ideas, without cluttering the mind map. You can even make them bold or underline them, and several people can edit them simultaneously – more about this later in this update.

Text Links

You can now link directly to websites and other apps from your ideas, helping you keep track of all your sources and inspirations. Links can be edited in a popover and when selected, they open right in the browser.

Trash Folder

This update also adds important document management features like a Trash folder. Instead of immediately deleting documents, they are now moved to a Trash folder that can be emptied manually.

For shared documents, only the document owner is allowed to move documents to the Trash. In this case, the document is unshared and access for other participants is removed. If you are not the owner of a document, you are now allowed to move it to the Trash. Instead, you are offered to leave the document, which will also remove it from your Document Browser.

Improved Text Management

Previously, when two participants modified a node title, only the most recent change was displayed. We knew this would be an issue for Notes, so we had to make some extensive changes to how we handle text in MindNode Next.

With this update, we do so much more gracefully. Instead of solely retaining the last change, multiple participants can make changes at the same time, and they are merged automatically. 🫲 Magic 🫱

Those extensive changes to text handling mean documents created and edited with this new version are no longer supported on older versions of MindNode Next, so please ensure you update all your devices.

Coming Really Soon

We are now getting very close to wrapping up the initial release phase of MindNode Next. The next major update is right around the corner, and it will add revamped Tag Management and Live Collaboration. A version with tag support is already available in our public beta for macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and visionOS. So, please try the beta and share your thoughts with us.

To wrap up, MindNode 2024.2 is now available on the App Store for Apple Vision Pro and adds some exciting new tools to your creative workflow. The next major update is already available on our public TestFlight. MindNode Next is on track to ship on the App Store for Mac, iPhone, and iPad this later year. It will be available at no additional cost to all MindNode Plus subscribers.
