iMindMap is bigger and better than ever in the 6.1 update that has gone live today! We have packed it full of features that are going to make you look great and get your message out there. Read on for a swift tour of what’s new…
A new range of stunning 3D images to make your maps look even better in 3D View! Soon you’ll never go back to 2D…
Open your map in 3D, add some cool new 3D images, adjust the angle and zoom for the best effect and then export it as an image for a show stopping view of your map to print, share or insert into other documents.
Set times for each of your slides so you can hit the Auto Play button at any point and let your presentation play out automatically, hands free. Great for having something to play in the background while you focus on your audience.
Presentation Kiosk Mode*
One step up from Auto Play, Kiosk Mode will play out your presentation for you on a loop and lock the controls. So you can now create beautiful iMindMap Presentations and leave them unattended playing on a screen or computer at an event. You can even play multiple presentations in a row.
Presentation Video Export*
Once you’ve created your work of art in iMindMap’s Presentation builder, you can export it as a video file or just upload it straight to YouTube. An iMindMap Presentation is a sad thing to waste on one audience, so start sharing yours! Don’t forget to tweet us the links @iMindMap so we can see what masterpieces you have created.
Windows 8 compatibility & New Mac Gestures
We’ve got something for both sides of the fence in our latest update. iMindMap 6.1 is fully compatible with Windows 8 and we have introduced new zoom, rotate and re-size Mac gestures.
Map Snippets Categories
Get your Snippets in order with our new Categories functionality. If you have a big bunch of Snippets that you use to quickly insert branches into maps, start sorting them into categories so you can get to the right ones faster.
Text-to-Map
An excellent trick to save you time trying to convert linear text into branches – just select the text, copy it and paste it straight into your Mind Map. iMindMap will take the structure of the text you copied, ie header, bullet point, paragraph, and convert into the structure of a map. Super fast and refreshingly simple.
Flowchart Snap to Grid*
Here’s one to make life easier when you’re creating Flowcharts. You can now opt to have grid lines shown on your canvas and our new Snap to Grid functionality will help you to keep your Flowcharts nicely aligned.
Flowchart* & Box Branch Colour Picker
Brighten up and customise your maps with our new Fill Colour Picker on the Pop Up Editor. Quickly and easily change the colour of any box branches or flowchart elements.
Project View Enhancements*
We’ve added a new Mind Map view option; Auto Schedule to automatically update Start, Finsh and Duration values; and view preferences for the pane, slider and column order.
Plus….
Improved Imports, new ‘Use Clipboard Image’ option in Central Image Picker, new Expand & Collapse hover-reveal icons, branch attached image indicator, Branch Target scaling, improved branch hit detection and more bug fixes.
* iMindMap Ultimate only
And for iMindMap Freedom subscribers…
Contacts & Sharing
Add Contacts, give them access to view or edit your maps, see changes they’ve made and create Contact Groups to share maps with several contacts at once. It’s a whole new connected world in iMindMap so start exploring today…

Thanks so much for the hard work in getting this out to us. It is on days like today that I realize why I didn’t buy MindManager or any of the other commercially available mindmapping software. For me they lack depth and the true freedom to make the map exactly the way I want it to be. The only thing I would like to see added is custom icons…
Brilliant!
Christmas came early for this mind mapper!
It is too bad, that you will not continue the Linux-Support!
Linux support would be great. When will this be available on android? Like what I see with 6.1
Hi Aaron,
We have iMindMap apps for Android phones and tablets already – you can download these from our Freedom page – http://www.thinkbuzan.com/products/imindmap/freedom#premium-mobile-web
Great! I enjoy it. I love the new project view. Thanks.
I would like to inform you I have been using your technique of Mind Mapping to assist me to continue with tertiary studies, in spite of a diagnosis of younger onset dementia.
My university disability advisor (University of South Australia) introduced me to it!
Another friend with vascular dementia was using it successfully too until his health deteriorated to the point of needin to go into residential aged care.
Thank you!!
Hi Kate,
Thanks so much – it’s great to hear that the technique is helping you with your studies. We loved your blog post on Mind Mapping and Dementia – it is inspiring to see such a positive effect http://kateswaffer.com/2012/11/04/mind-mapping-and-dementia/
thanks….!
I cannot find how to downloan update! Where did You find it? Show me the link please!
Hi Nikolay,
You just need to follow the ‘How to update your iMindMap 6 software to iMindMap 6.1′ instructions shown above – this is done within iMindMap so you dont need a link to download the new features. If you are having any issues, our Support Team can help if you email customersupport@thinkbuzan.com
Hey, I have the trial version and I spent hours to make my presentation on it and now I just realized that I cannot export the file
(( I don’t want to buy the expanded version:( I am happy with the trial version. But it’s pointless to have it, if I cannot export files.
Hi Milena,
You should be able to export from the trial version of the software – can you please go to Tools > Updates (Windows) or Help > Updates (Mac) and make sure your software is up to date and then try again? There could also be an issue if your trial has expired and reverted to the Basic version – in which case you would not be able to export a presentation. If you are still having an issue, please drop an email to customersupport@thinkbuzan.com so that our Technical Team can investigate.
