AI on - off ? / files gone ?

I’m not planning to renew. This is all getting noisy, and cloud centric (user not in control),

First please add a feature to run the whole app in AI OFF mode. (Clarity / legacy mode). Newton didn’t have it. Neither did Einstein.

AI is definitely good for some circumstances. BUT AI is bad for others.

AI serves a bells and whistles feast, but you won’t be able to COOk anymore..

Developers, add features, but don’t make a quiet room, a noisy city centre. Thinking suffers.

Second cloud mode for files. This doesn’t suit my workflow. Backing up etc. It makes the file system redundant. You can’t place with other documents. Apple does this type of storage for Notes, but not for Pages. I don’t believe the developers know their users.

I guess when a tree grows in a way you don’t want. You cut it back. If it continues, you remove the tree.

Excellent for visual thinkers

MindNode is an excellent resource for bringing together disparate notes and presenting yourself with a new way to imagine your thoughts. Project management, product development, launching an independent consultancy, and even down to just simple and daily note taking — these are some of my common uses for an app I’ve been obsessed with since 2019. Cheers to the team.

Верните деньги или старую версию

Я давно уже пользовался купленной версией, все нравилось.
Решил обновиться и после обновления - должен теперь платить за те функции, которые были в старой УЖЕ ОПЛАЧЕННОЙ мною программе.
Так не пойдёт - верните мне деньги за купленный софт, которым я сейчас НЕ МОГУ пользоваться, так как его нет в AppStore или дайте мне вернуть и установить старую версию, с полным функционалом, которую я уже ОПЛАТИЛ.

MindNode is my go-to!

This new version is exciting as a longtime user of MindNode, because it has enabled the collaboration on documents that I think will be useful for my partner and I. I’ve used MindNode to plan a major move, building businesses, outlining a novel, sending to-do's to Things, and shaking loose the thoughts that i have about any topic that I need to flesh out. I also appreciate the Apple Watch, the focus feature, and even the brainstorming that can be done with the AI feature. Thanks, team at Ideas On Canvas - I will always support you and your excellent work!

With MCP Server?

Yes, Sir! Now I want all my macOS apps to have MCP! Could we find a way to be able to put Markdown with LaTaX supported notes?
