AsterBridge vs MindSky

AsterBridge is a mind mapping app for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Capture an idea, branch it into related thoughts, and watch your thinking take shape — on an infinite canvas or as a clean outline. Plan a launch, outline an essay, organize a trip, or just clear your head. AsterBridge gives you room to think visually and the polish to share what you make. —— WHY ASTERBRIDGE —— • Fast to capture.
