NovaMind Platinum
NovaMind Platinum is for power Mind Mappers, people who need to make powerful presentations, screenwriters, project planners, business consultants, serious business people, and the people who need the absolute best.
NovaMind Platinum for Windows
Platinum comes with the NovaMind Presenter - a powerful presentation feature that will leave your audience amazed with the highly professional presentations from within NovaMind. In the Mac version, it allows you to glide over your Mind Map, zooming in to the branches. In the Windows version, it highlights the branches and automatically expands children branches as necessary to show the detailed information.
The screenwriting module has just been completely rewritten to take into account the many feature requests of our screenwriter users.
There are extensive features for adding task related information to your Mind Map, and reporting on the information that is there. You can add your own custom information to branches.
