Thortspace: 3D Mind Mapping

Thortspace turns tangled thinking into clarity.

Lay out everything you know about a difficult problem - every idea, every conflict, every loose end - then move it, group it and connect it until the shape of the answer appears. On your own, or with your team in real time.

This is a mindmap built around the way thinking actually works. Instead of a flat tree or diagram on a page, your ideas live on the surfaces of spheres you can turn, dive into and rearrange - a visual thinking space where you are never forced to commit to a hierarchy before you understand the problem.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

* Ideas (called "thorts") sit on the surfaces of one or more spheres, presented in 3D

* Group by proximity as well as by explicit connection - position carries meaning

* Paths connect anything to anything: thort to thort, thort to group, group to group, sphere to sphere

* Store several alternative arrangements of the same ideas and move between them

* "Journeys" record a sequence of viewpoints, turning a finished map into a presentation

* Real-time collaboration - think together, from anywhere, on the same sphere

FEATURES

* Works online and offline

* Real-time collaborative editing

* The same interface and the same data across every major platform and device

* Thorts hold notes, images and links, and can be color-coded across several categorizations at once

* Share by email, by private link, or publish to the web in one click

* A newsfeed tracking your own and other people's contributions across shared spheres

WHAT PEOPLE USE IT FOR

Brainstorming and whiteboard sessions, problem solving, concept mapping, research, study and revision, writing outlines and essay planning, strategy and planning, team sense-making, retrospectives - and thinking any difficult thing through to the end.

Thortspace is built for experimental, multi-perspective reflection; for making chunks of thinking you can reuse as building blocks; for synthesis as much as analysis; and for the journey, not only the destination.
