The screen immediately turned black, with my central topic displayed in white. I accessed pitch mode from the program’s toolbar. Two of them contained second-level topics. To test it, I created a small map with six first-level topics. It takes a decidedly different approach than anything I’ve seen before in mind mapping software. Pitch Mode generates automatically generates presentations with animated transitions from your mind map. This simple setup should be especially appealing to first-time users of mind mapping software, who may become disoriented by complex ribbon toolbars and a myriad of options for modifying the content of their mind maps. A timer is also available for brainstorming sessions. You can customize the program’s keyboard shortcuts from an unobtrusive set of icons in the upper right corner of your screen (a nice touch!), change map style and type as well as add stickers ad markers to your map topics from here. It’s a welcome option for those of us who are easily distracted. You can use keyboard shortcuts and right-click commands to add content to your map and modify it. Zen mode further simplifies the interface, removing all toolbars from view and enabling you to fully focus on the content of your mind map. Just six buttons for adding topics, plus several others for Zen mode, the new pitch mode and one on the right side of the workspace entitled “panel.” Clicking it causes a vertical panel to slide open to reveal all of the formatting options for the element of your map that’s currently selected. No busy ribbon toolbar to distract you with a wealth of options. When you first open XMind 2021, the first thing you notice is its minimalistic interface. This makes it an excellent choice for first-time users of mind mapping software it those who don’t want to be overwhelmed by busy, overwhelming user interfaces with dozens of options. In addition to these cool new features, XMind does the basics exceedingly well. XMind 2021 is no exception, with a brand-new pitch mode, tree tables, unique new object shapes and much more. XMind continues to grow its toolset in surprising new directions.
