Free and Open Source
Multi-Platform (Mac, Windows, and Linux) (but not mobile)

Hypernomicon is a personal productivity/database application for researchers that combines structured note-taking, mind-mapping, management of files (e.g., PDFs) and folders, and reference management into an integrated environment that organizes all of the above into semantic networks or hierarchies in terms of debates, positions, arguments, labels, terminology/concepts, and user-defined keywords by means of database relations and automatically generated hyperlinks (hence ‘Hyper’ in the name).

Since there is no iOS app I won’t be using this or even trying it out, but thought it would be of interest to other list users.

Hypernomicon is aimed at philosophers. However, having looked at the video tutorial I think the developer may be unintentionally limiting the potential market for this software. I think, on first take, it can be applied to any field where ideas, concepts, and theories are involved, or in the context of specific issues or problems.
