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!

Bulletlist

Bulletlist is an outliner. One list, nested as deep as your thinking goes, and nothing else in the way. Every line is a bullet. Press Return for the next one, Tab to move it under the one above, and keep going. Zoom into any bullet to make it the whole screen, then walk back out through the trail at the top — so a long outline is read a room at a time instead of all at once. Built for keyboards Bulletlist takes the shortcuts you already know from the outliners you have used before, without inventing new ones. Move a bullet with Shift-Command-Up. Complete it with Command-Return. Jump to any bullet by name with Command-K. Press Command-/ for the whole list, in the app, grouped by what it applies to. Built for thumbs too Swipe a row to indent it. Long-press to pick it up and drop it anywhere, at any level. The editing bar rides the top of the keyboard instead of hiding under it, and the back gesture goes back through the bullets you zoomed into. Yours, and readable without us Your outline lives in your own storage under your own account. Google Analytics measures how the app is used — screens opened, and counts of bullets added, completed and moved — and never receives a bullet, a note or a search. There is no advertising identifier, nothing sold, and no third party watching you type. Export the whole thing as an OPML file whenever you like, and it opens in any outliner. Works offline The app is on your device, not in a browser tab. Write on a plane and it syncs when you land. Edits made on two devices are merged rather than one overwriting the other. Nine colour schemes Light and dark are separate from which colours those two words mean. Paper is ours; the other eight are Solarized, Gruvbox, Everforest, Stone, Dracula, Catppuccin, Nord and GitHub, each with both of its halves, for people who already know which one they want.
