## What is Headspace Lite?

HEADSPACE  is iOS's coolest 3D outliner and mind-mapping app! Do your list-making and mind-mapping in 3D space with the *original* Headspace. 

*** PLEASE NOTE:  This NOT the meditation app! *** (There is another app called "Headspace: Guided Meditation and Mindfulness" and this is NOT that app!)

"Love the program. Favorite app. Useful and looks great. "

"The implementation is beautiful! In my opinion, Headspace is becoming one of the best apps in the store."

"I bought Headspace last night on a whim - been fooling around with mindmapping apps lately. This is a little piece of brilliance, you know that, right? "

"This app could not just be a mindmapping program,
It has the capability to become a new kind of U.I. That in my opinion that improved over apples U.I."


Hey, man.  Get all up inside your own head with HEADSPACE LITE, the 'lite' version of Flat Black Films' revolutionary 3D mind-mapping application for iphone!

Big ideas, great thoughts, even boring to-do lists are more fun when they're in THREE DIMENSIONS.  Create groups of related thoughts and position them in space.  Rotate, pan, and zoom your view with finger gestures.  Go all David Lynch and get DEEP with yourself.

Create hierarchical lists of items -- children of children of children -- and doubletap to 'stack' them in space.  Change their color and translucency. Connect related items with 'link' lines.  It's heavy.  

This is the free version of the full app "Headspace".  This version limits you to one "space", and you cannot export/import files.  

Headspace Lite shares these cool features with the full version:

- pan view with one finger
- hold finger to slowly zoom in towards touch point
- add links and travel between them using the 'link balls'
- optional detailed notes for each item (text/URL/photo)
- search function (items, notes, and files)
- sample file
- checkboxes
- copy and paste items
- customize colors and rearrange palette
- drag group name to move group
- triple-tap to 'send' an item to another group
- optionally disable accelerometer tilt 
- tap empty space to pre-specify new group placement
- YouTube video demonstration
- support for European characters like umlauts and the like

If you end up liking it, please get the full version!

### 4/5 — 機能, ビジュアル共にいい!

*2026-02-03*

やりたいことは大体できる上, 難しい操作もないので重宝!!

ただ, アプリ起動するたびに, テキストタイプのノートの各行に改行が追加されていくバグが...

### 5/5 — 挺有意思的

*2024-12-24*

不过停止更新了，还容易闪退，之前写的也都没有了

### 5/5 — Fun to play with

*2017-12-08*

Truly fantastic experience. Keep up the good work! Hoping to see new updates in future..

### 1/5 — Made me stressed

*2016-03-30, version 3.3.4*

Don't bother downloading. It's a total waste of time. The program makes no sense at all.

### 5/5 — Best

*2015-06-18, version 3.3.0*

This is the best note taking app there is! I prefer this one above all of the others. Its easy and intuitive. It makes things easier to visualize. I love the fact that i can create and move categories and items with just my finger tips. Great app, five stars.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2015-03-29, version 3.2.5*

What can I say? This app is brilliant. The developer should be nominated for an award. It does
everything you'd hope it would do and works like a charm. The paid version lets you import / export files from iTunes, or export as PDF with pages for Illustrator, or even just plain text. The developer has thought of everything, and executed it in style. I'm 100% in love with this app. Thank you so much!

### 4/5 — Great for introverts

*2015-01-10, version 3.1.8*

Generally more visual self reflection of intelligence is needed  before it's presented to others and this program does it like so.  It flows like a 3D video game. It's not perfect but the program is better than all the other brainstorming/information management programs I've tried.  I believe something like this program will eventually swallow and digest the nutrients of many other programs.  It's my personal operating system.

### 3/5 — Requires old version of freemind...

*2014-12-30, version 3.1.8*

I saw this and thought how cool, I can work on a mind map on both iPad and computer, but when I transferred the headspace lite map to freemind it was an old file that had to be upgraded in freemind.

Will this updated file work in headspace? Without buying the full version I have no way of knowing. Please can you make this clear in the headspace application description to help me (and others) make the decision?

Thanks

### 5/5 — Absolute best app ever purchased!

*2014-11-04, version 3.1.8*

The graphics and layouts are the only reason I bought this app! The way you can sort and file the graph boxes behind one another is honestly the best reason to have created such an app!
The design is the most gallant way to have the perfectly compact self created MindMap that can easily be piled from up to dozens of separate blocks down to just five or seven stacks! But remember, if you want to use all the features of this app, then I strongly insist that you purchase the full version of the app!

### 5/5 — 画期的ですね！(epock-making!)

*2014-03-28*

とってもかっこ良くって、使いやすいです。
(Very cool&easy to use.)
