Unobvious in IOctopus

By right-click

You can also tear off a branch from other branches and then it becomes the centre

Insert as text:

• Double click on a branch.
• Ctrl+v / Cmd+v

Paste as branches:

• Click once on a branch so that a cursor does not appear inside.
• Ctrl+C / Cmd+C
• Open and paste into a text file. 

What's interesting:

• All branches and sub branches will be inserted in a list with a structure.
• You can select more branches by holding down Ctrl / Cmd while selecting. The selected branches and all subbranches will then be copied.
• It also works vice versa. When copying from notepad to mind map.
• Tasks are copied the same.

Just select the centre and press Ctrl+C / Cmd+C. The content will be copied. Then paste Ctrl+V / Cmd+V into any text document. 

Then there is no need to highlight a branch.

There you can pin them (as favourites)

1. Select branch
2. Pull the edge

To return to the standard length, pull further:

• For higher concentrations - standard blue
• For seamless insertion into presentations and documents - with a white background
• Dark blue - a nighttime theme to make your eyes more comfortable
• There is a soft watercolour theme
• A technical dark grey
• And a new grey one for emptiness and meaninglessness

By the way, note that themes in IOctopus are not only about a design, but also about an interface so that it doesn't hurt your eyes.

Have you noticed the branches look organic?

That the branches are smoothly getting thinner.
Mind maps specifically do not have flat squares and other flat shapes.

A lot of brainpower spent on this (pretty much all geometry from school).
This is all to make it easier for you to perceive your mind maps.
Because these are the kinds of branches the human brain has been used to for millions of years.
Natural lines are easier for him.

The chief inventor of the mind map technique, Tony Buzan, drew attention to this.

By the way, you can change the thickness of the branches:

• With a touchpad as usual - with two fingers
• With a mouse - pull on an empty space
• Use mouse wheel - up and down
  Hold Shift - left and right
  Hold Alt - acceleration (comes in handy on large maps)

To display links as icons.
That's it:

All your files are encrypted using the aes-256 method.
On all tariff plans. Even on the free Moon.
Even we (developers) cannot see the contents of your files.

An example of what we see in your files:

Drawing icons

So that even with a touchpad, even with a chicken paw, it's easy to draw your icons. Sometimes faster than finding an icon in the database. And the meaning can be conveyed much more accurately.

Checklists

Good for managing tasks that consist of multiple steps.

Collaboration mode

When you are editing a file with another person at the same time.
And everyone sees what the other is doing.

First of all, colours have a primarily practical meaning.
It is easier for a brain to understand what is connected and what is separate when there are no more than 7 colours.
Maximum 10.

Secondly, these colours have been well worked on so that they blend in.

So even if you are not a designer, you can create presentable maps quickly and easily.

Import from XMind, Freemind and MindMeister.

Export to Png, Jpeg, Pdf, text, Markdown.

You will then be able to select them in "Share":

You can enter any email you want to share with.

But when you add a person to your team, you can simply select them instead of having to manually write emails every time.

This user also gets access to the functionality of your subscription.

There is a button at the top centre

Especially for those who want something special in mind maps, we have created a plug-in system.

You can either order a plug-in from us or develop the plug-in yourself (plug-ins are written in javascript).
