scapple: to work or shape roughly, without smoothing to a finish. - The Chambers Dictionary ROUGH IT OUT Ever scribbled ideas on a piece of paper and drawn lines between related thoughts? Then you already know what Scapple does. It's a virtual sheet of paper that lets you make notes anywhere and connect them using lines or arrows. MAKE CONNECTIONS Join up your thinking however you want. Scapple doesn't force you to make connections—every note is equal, so it's up to you which notes have connections and which don't. You have complete freedom to experiment with how your ideas fit together. IT’S SCAPPLE SIMPLE Creating notes is as easy as double-clicking anywhere on the page; making connections between ideas is as simple as dragging and dropping one note onto another. And unlike real paper, in Scapple you can move notes around and never run out of space. FEATURES • Simple—and fun!—to use • Write notes anywhere • Connect notes using drag and drop • Move and arrange notes easily • Stack notes in columns of related ideas • Label connections • Create background shapes to group notes • Customise the appearance of notes • MathType support • iCloud syncing • Full screen mode • Export to popular formats or print your ideas • Easily drag notes into Scrivener for further development SUPPORT If you have any questions or feedback, you can contact us by email on [email protected] or via our support forum at http://www.literatureandlatte.com/forum.
Awesome utility for many things
No one seems to know about this app but I find it truly useful (and simple) for a wide variety of tasks from initial planning of a presentation to managing a multiyear project. You can quickly organize ideas and make quick modifications. I start with this app for most every project I work on. A must have app as far as I'm concerned.
It's time to give a five star
I have been downloaded this for 6 years. And I see the coninueing update from the developer. For such a niche app, I can see the developer's heart and passion. I have tried various types of thought organizing software, if you are not used to using mind maps, try it.
Fantastic!
Bro, this is a wonderful peice of software. Love it. Have used it going on 4 years now. Thanks!
Amazing for people who think graphically; aren't organized; hate 'software as a service'
This is one of the best softwares I've used in a long time for organizing thoughts in a non-linear structure. I used to use MindNode periodically, but they switched to "software as a service" (i.e. subscription) instead of one-time fee. I gave this a shot in part because it allows non-linear connections and because it's fixed fee (again I don't use mind mapping software a lot). OMG this software is everything! It allows you to brain dump on paper and then organize everything after the fact. I'm so happy I found this. Easily worth the fee and then some
needs iPad/iPhone support
Good and useful app. Would use it more if I could use it on the go too. I really hate being limited to the Mac only. It's 2021 and synchronization is still not implemented? Please integrate with iPadOS/iOS and make use of seemless iCloud for synchronization. Thanks.
Seems good but is not
The idea of this is cool but it is let down by some major flaws. It does not have a way to lock notes, it does not have a grid to align notes, and has no way to change the font. So with these if you export them to PDF and you have complex notes, then they will not align correctly. Also, on a M1 Mac with 16GB ram, my notes brings the system to a crawl with about 300 simple notes on a single page.
Simple and Intuitive
Scapple sticks to the keep-it-simple philiosphy. The screenshots in the app store might make it look fancy or complicated, but it really isn't. Mind maps can be generated simply by double-clicking on the screen and typing stuff. Want to link two things? Select them, and then alt-click to open the dialog to link them. The software doesn't get in the way or distract you from what you're trying to do. If, later on, you decide you want to beautify your mind map, then you can. Scapply really is the perfect balance of power and simplicity.
Scapple 1.4.1 modernises and extends the app's internals by moving a large part of the codebase to Swift (Apple’s modern programming language), paving the way for future development. • Various user interface enhancements. • Support for middle-mouse-button drag. • The keyboard shortcut Opt-Cmd-G can now be used to create new background shapes. • Numerous other refinements and bug fixes.
