Wasn't familiar with the app, did a quick search and discovered it was a product of Lexis-Nexis and disappeared a decade ago.
But in my serach I came across a new (to me at least) Mac mind-mapping a...

This was an insta-upgrade for me through Omni's website. When I last upgraded to v.5 (Feb 2019?) the upgrade price was $49.99, but back then the iOS app/upgrade was a separate purchase. Here it's a on...
