I absolutely love WriteMapper. I used it when documenting my position at my old job, and I wouldn't have managed without it. I also used it as a living document in my project management, and was able to export the whole thing as one big project wrap-up in the end. Truly a time and life saver!

Thank you so much for the kind words! 😍 Really glad that you've found it useful. Helping others save time and be more productive was one of the reasons I chose to embark on creating this tool in the first place. Your words mean a lot — thanks again!
That's a really neat idea for the project management

Quick note: The free trial download button on the website was broken for about the first hour after launch. I've since fixed it and you should be able to download the free trial as per normal from . Special thanks 🙏 to Aydin for reporting the issue to us on Twitter!
Damn! How did I not know about this amazing product?? This is so exciting! I love seeing the outline of whatever I’m writing (a feature of that I appreciate) but this takes that 10 steps further! Just wow!

It's been about a year and half since I launched the original version of the app, which was then macOS-only. Since then, I've been adding features to it, making improvements over time and expanding the app's capabilities, leading up to today's unveiling of WriteMapper 2. I hope you'll find WriteMapper useful this 2019! 😃
absolutely! Still haven't checked it out but will do this week :) What a great concept, seems like an awesome product too

Version 2 added two of my biggest feature requests - custom keyboard shortcuts, and the ability to preview entire documents before exporting. Makes me super happy!

Pros:

Has dramatically sped up my writing process

Cons:

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Downloaded the trial just to see if the all the fuzz was justified. Used it for 7 minutes, then went back to the website and bought a license! The full keyboard control is what did it for me. I've become very fond of apps that empower visual thinking. This is the best-looking, most organized I've used yet! The ability to export to a doc is 💯👌 If you're looking for a visual thinking tool, you might also want to check out which has an interesting approach to mind mapping (using lists).

Thanks for the purchase and kind words, ! Hope you'll be finding WriteMapper plenty useful this 2019. 😊 The custom keyboard shortcuts feature was a major undertaking to implement, especially considering that it had to work on all 3 platforms the app is available on: macOS, Windows, and even on the iPad. Very happy to hear your comment on here. Thanks again and have a great year ahead!
Very happy using it! Already put together 5 different maps. Do you have an email I could send some feedback to?
Maker
Absolutely, send it to hello at writemapper.com, thanks! :)

as someone that write a lot and struggle with it - cool idea

Pros:

looks cool -

Cons:

not yet

Really cool product, congrats on the launch. Just tried it for Mac and Windows both and it seems there's a bug with the Windows version. I'm only able to double-click and expand the source/parent node while to expand any other, I'm having to right-click and then click edit. Good luck!
Maker
Thanks for the kind words and your well wishes! Just performed a check regarding the double-click issue on Windows, but I could not seem to replicate the issue. Please see this short video clip: . Do let me know if I'm doing something different from how you're approaching it? Otherwise, we'll keep our eyes peeled for any indication of why this might be the case for you as we continue to work on the app. Thank you for taking the time to let me know about it! :)
You're welcome! So I was looking at the tutorial map and yeah while clicking the child nodes, I was unable to double-click and expand the individual nodes. I can share a video of this later.
Maker
Would be very helpful in diagnosing the issue, if you could. Thanks again!
Beautiful product. I have no words. Only questions: - Is there any plan to support images? Or this would be out of scope? - Is there any plan to support full search? (inside nodes) and if not, is there any plans to support search on preview mode? That would do the trick
Maker
I'm coming across your comment a bit late, but image support is currently already in place for the iPad (drag and drop) as well as desktop versions, and will be coming in a future update for the just-released iPhone version. We added support for the Quick Search feature to also search within a node's contents just last month, in the WriteMapper 2.7 update. More info may be found at the page on our website. Hope this info helps! :)
Thanks for the reply! I might give it another try
