‘Cloud only’ was an unwise move

Stupid decision to use CloudKit solely, without any possibility of saving documents. No way of keeping them in information managers like DEVONthink — or just wherever you want, in the traditional spirit of Mac apps.

Response from developer

We're sorry you're feeling this way! We understand that this change isn't for everyone, and we definitely didn't make the switch lightly. Just to clarify, many of Apple's newer apps, like Notes, Photos, and Freeform, are no longer based on traditional files. Instead, they use CloudKit to store and sync data. CloudKit is Apple's technology for syncing data across its services, and iCloud Drive is built on top of it as well. One of the benefits we've found with the synced documents are always available in MindNode, even when you're offline.

Strict Auto-Layout ruined this app

There’s no way you can lay out buy yourself, I quit

Too expensive

I downloaded this years ago to play around with it but never used it. Now that I’ve learned about mind mapping and effective study habits, I decided to give it a shot. However, paying 24.99 a year to JUST change the font? Absolutely ridiculous. Going with Simplemind instead since it’s a one time purchase.

애플 생태계 최고의 앱

저는 이 마인드 노드 앱을 애플 생태계 통틀어 최고의 앱으로 칭하고 싶습니다. 정말 깔끔한 UI 디자인과 굉장히 생산적인 문서 작성 앱, 그와 함께 자연스러운 AI 시스템의 결합으로 매일 매일 공부랑 문서 정리 하는 재미로 맥을 잠자기 모드에서 깨웁니다. 정말 개발해주셔서 진심으로 감사합니다.
