Scapple: For writers who like to mind-map

Dr. Drib · 10-09-2013, 10:46 AM

The group who produced Scrivener just sent me an email about their new mind-mapping program, Scapple.

It's now available for both PC and Mac.

I have yet to use this and have no affiliation with them in any context whatsoever, except as a purchaser of Scrivener.

Here's a link for those who may be interested:

Type anywhere + inking. Looks very OneNote-esque. I mean that in a good way. There are lots of times I wish I could put more distance between MS and myself, all the moreso as they embrace subscriptions more.

The other day, I was thinking how nice it would be to have a massive (50" maybe) eink second monitor mounted on a wall that would replace wipeoff boards, paper rolls, bulletin boards etc. I might do more in this vein digitally, rather than on paper, with something like that.

It would be a dangerous endeavor to try and map my mind....insanity would be your best hope if that way you went...

As I have Scrivener, I might just download the trial and have a look.

I use the free version of Edraw's Mind Mapping program. I use it mainly for business (brainstorming, connections, etc.), but I also use it to organize and re-organize books.

I use Delineato Pro. Scapple looks good though.

Yeah, sometimes my mind is a lot like scrapple.

Oh, wait. You said Scapple, not Scrapple!

Never mind.
