I just purchased SimpleMind Pro (Mac version) last week. I used a variety of MM software over the years and was a devoted MindJet/MindManager user at my place of employment. I’m retired now and have been looking for a MM replacement (MindManager is somewhat pricey!) After some research it came down to MindNode and SimpleMind. I like MindNode but they just switched to subscription pricing model. So I went with SimpleMind. So far, its been a great experience!

It’s easy to overthink. Walk into a conference room, look at the white board. Anything can be written, drawn, posted on it.
IMO, that’s what good white board software emulates. No structure, just space and tools.
(I think TreeSheets fits that nicely, btw.)

Would you know the version no. of the latest Windows build?
There used to be a page with the versions but it no longer is there and I couldn’t work it out from the GitHub page.
I didn’t realise there were updates recently…

Heh, you have a point. Although Corkulous has one or two pluses, including an impressive gallery of shapes. And you can, of course, change the background so it doesn’t look like a good ole’ skeuomorphic cork board…
However, I’m fascinated by this MindForger thingy that everybody’s suddenly started talking about - wowee!

Interesting apps mentioned in this thread. Curio is still doing well for me, but I could do what I needed with Numbers.
Numbers has tabs, Curio has Idea Spaces. Curio is quicker to enter blocks of text in, has tags, extensive searching, so given the choice of the two for a whiteboard, I’d use Curio - but I could do what I need with Numbers or Keynote.
