ConceptDraw MINDMAP

ConceptDraw MINDMAP is proprietary mind mapping and brainstorming software developed by CS Odessa for Microsoft Windows and Apple macOS operating systems.

The mind mapping technology of visual thinking was invented by Tony Buzan in the 1960s. Along with the traditional practice of hand-drawn mind maps there is a range of special mind mapping software, which is commonly used to create mind maps for purposes of business, project management and knowledge management. The first version of ConceptDraw MINDMAP was released in 2001. Since 2008 it has been a part of the ConceptDraw OFFICE software package for Windows and macOS platform.
