About VYM - View Your Mind

VYM (View Your Mind) is a cross-platform desktop application for generating and manipulating mind maps — tree-like representations of thoughts used for brainstorming, time management, task organization, and sorting complex ideas. Maps can attach rich information such as full emails to branches, be reordered with simple keystrokes, and be exported for presentations or web pages. It is a long-running open-source project written with the Qt toolkit.
