Your Mind (VYM) is a mind mapping program. It is useful to organize
thoughts and do structure work. In addition to that it has a lot of
helpful shortcuts.
A mindmap is a multicolored and image centered
radial diagram that represents semantic or other connections between
portions of learned material. For example, it can graphically
illustrate the structure of a thesis outline, a project plan, or the
government institutions in a state. Mindmaps have many applications in
personal, family, educational, and business situations. Possibilities
include note-taking, brainstorming, summarizing, revising and general
clarifying of thoughts.
VYM is not another drawing software, but a tool to store and
modify information in an intuitive way. For example you can reorder
parts of the map by pressing a key or add various information like a
complete email by a simple mouse click.

- Easy to use graphical interface
