CogniAtlas is an organic mind-mapping workspace for visual thinking, planning, and learning — and the only mind mapper that links every map you make into one searchable knowledge atlas. Start with one idea at the center and grow branches outward with smooth, hand-drawn-style connectors — the way your mind actually connects things. Then connect maps to each other with cross-map links and backlinks, and search across everything you've ever mapped. CogniAtlas Pro is an auto-renewing subscription: $4.99/month or $39.99/year (prices may vary by region). Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase and renews each period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. Privacy Policy: https://www.powerm365.com/cogniatlas-privacy-policy/ Terms of Use (EULA): https://streines.github.io/FXCogniAtlas/terms.html
