So, my first-cut chapter headings and synopses (the result of all that outlining) went from iThoughts into Scrivener just as easily as with Literature and Latte’s proprietary index-card brainstorming software. I can do just as much free-form brainstorming in iThoughts, and use my synced. It works better for me than Scapple, from the people who make Scrivener.
ITHOUGHTSX REVIEW 2019 ANDROID
But if you run Android phones and/or tablets, you’re out of luck. I can recommend iThoughts for anyone running Windows or Linux on their desktop or laptop computer – choose your weapon (mindmapping or outlining app) and iThoughts will work with it. One thing to note is that iOS iThoughts came first, and the iOS (rather than the desktop Mac) version drives all this synchronization. I can clip internet research at least as well as I can in Scrivener. Net result: my research, outline, and background information is always available.
ITHOUGHTSX REVIEW 2019 UPDATE
If I change any of the outline or mindmap formats on another device, my iOS iThoughts will update its native outline accordingly, then update all those other formats sitting out on Dropbox. Several Windows formats besides XMind are on that long list. This is less than a third of all the formats that iThoughts can sync. xmind (the open source XMind mindmapping program that runs on Mac, Windows and Linux). My iThoughts documentation folder only uses the iThoughts native format (.itmz), but my outline folder. I can designate as many sync formats as I like, on a per-linked-folder basis. (I stopped using Apple’s service when it stopped being iDrive, and started being opaque.) I can configure as many linked folders as I want (one for each project suits me), and once I’ve set it up, it Just Works ™. iCloud is not on the menu, but that’s okay for me. It uses Dropbox, or a WebDAV enabled server or cloud (according to Toketaware, Box and Google GDrive via PocketDAV will work). The really nice thing about iThoughts is that, like Evernote, it’s everywhere. IThoughts is a mindmapping app that runs on Mac and on iOS devices. (The image is only two levels deep the outline goes four levels deep but you’d never see any detail if I took a screenshot that way.) An Outline! For Real! Done with iThoughts by ToketawareWell, there it is in all its multicolored glory.
