Within the Scapple environment, a board that’s infinitely large, individual notes can be as long or short as you like, they can be images and PDFs too.

To allow for free association, it’s important that it doesn’t force you to make connections, nor expect you to start with one central idea and branch everything else off that. What’s important, however, is that Scapple supports a creative process called free association.
Some of them may be rubbish, some of them gold. Scapple is sort like the Scrivener cork board where you can write down - in Scrivener’s case on semi-structured cards - ideas as they pop up in your head. Even the nec plus ultra of mind mapping, MindManager, doesn’t allow you to just jot down ideas and thoughts, and later perhaps, maybe, connect those ideas together.Īnd that’s exactly what sets Scapple apart. That’s what most mind mapping apps are about. Or rather, I am not into visual stuff with connections being forced upon me. It works with connections and I’m not into connections. What’s different about Scapple? It’s visual and I’m not a visual person. And then I found Scapple from the creators of Scrivener and thought I might give it a shot. I resorted to using project management for a while but even OmniPlan is quite complex and overkill if you’re not a team.
For some of my work, lists are woefully inadequate but as my brain isn’t mind-map wired, they will have to do. If you’ve ever tried using a mind mapping app knowing that you aren’t the structured visualisation type of person, you’ll know that it’s a pain and often leads to more frustration and time loss than just writing a list of things to do and hoping for the best.
