Thanks for that. For a free version that looks like an impressive set of features. You could pretty much complete the coding for a whole research project with that (if it really does what it says on t...

Do you also find VUE faster and more responsive?
Definitely, if you're referring to launching it. CmapTools takes a long time to launch. However, I never had problems with...

I don't have a Mac but as far as I can see from the screenshot you can achieve the exact same thing with VUE in Windows (and it's free):

Speaking of infinite virtual corkboards, VUE can be used that way as well.
Pros: Free. Very fast to use (good for brainstorming). Can be easily converted into a concept map, by connecting the "index ...

P.S. There is nothing particularly wrong with Inspiration or UV Outliner, I just find them too fiddly to use after having gotten used to the ease of outlining in Bonsai.

For Windows I'm only aware of the following single-pane outliners with inline notes:
- Maxthink
- LexisNexis Notemap 2

Out of these only Inspiration and UV O...

In the meantime I also realised that the free WordExpander is made by the same people as PhraseExpress (which also has a free version for personal use). I'm reasonably happy with WordExpander. I actua...

While looking for index card type applications I also came across an app called Throughline 1.0. Now, this could be a false positive, but Malwarebytes Anti-Malware just flagged it up as Trojan.backdoo...
Wanted: Outliner with Tree-Wordcount
11/12/2012
WhizFolders also can do this in a roundabout way, whereby you need to select the nodes and sub-notes first, and then execute the word count (every time you need it - i.e. not as quick and convenient a...
