We’re getting closer to the release of MindManager 8 for Mac. Over the last few weeks, we’ve shared some of the future highlights of MindManager 8 for Mac including integrations with iCal, Address book, iChat, and MobileMe.
Guess what?
It gets more a lot more interesting!
MindManager 8 for Mac will export maps to the Mindjet Player format which lets anyone or everyone open and interact with your ideas, plans, and strategies!
The Mindjet Player transforms maps into an interactive, read-only format that is universally opened in either a browser (e.g. Safari) or via Adobe Reader 9 as an interactive PDF file.
Let’s say you and your team develop a map to collaborate together on a creative brief for an upcoming product launch. After flushing out your ideas and plans, you may need to share this content with an agency that doesn’t have MindManager.
In the past, that might have been an issue. With MindManager 8, export your map into the Mindjet Player format and you can share it with everyone!
Anyone who views your maps with the Mindjet Player will be able to…
- Navigate with both keyboard & mouse
- Expand & collapse map branches
- Display topic images, notes, & task status
- Open hyperlinks
- Zoom in & out
- Fit map to screen
- Center map
- Find next & previous
Stay tuned for more previews, including more ways to share your maps with others!

I already own Mind Manager 8 for PC and love it. I am about to migrate to a Mac, do I have to pay for another full Mind Manager licence or can I transfer my current licence over? Seems a bit unreasonable to have to pay for another whole licence when I already own one and will cease to use the PC version.
Thanks, Nick

Mark,
We’ve added a lot of capabilities for importing, exporting and sharing maps into MindManager 8 for Mac. We’re evaluating the presentation mode for the next version in 2010.

Will there be presentation mode in MM8 Mac or not..?
I’ve held off going to Novamind in the [fading?] hope that a decent presentation mode would be in MM8 Mac, but if that slipped out again, then Im off to migrate…
I don’t want some vague list of features, we’ve been waiting years for this release, so a concrete list of commited features is not too much to ask from a product that is apparently shipping any day now..??
Please advise!

Stefanos, sorry! Glad we’re still on your radar. We, like most organizations, must make difficult resource decisions at times! Mac is back though and we’re going to support it with some great enhancements. Of course, it’s window’s cousin has 12 years of extra development! We’re working hard to bring it up to parity!
Cris, that’s a possibility for the future!
Steve King, if you have purchased maintenance and support and it is still active, you’re set. If not, you’ll need to either acquire a second copy or purchase the upgrade after the release.

Eduardo, which ones do you miss the most?
Britta, contact our customer support. They can answer your question and guide you to the best possible outcome for your scenario.
Jan, thanks! We’re evaluating integrations (import / export) and beyond for future releases. We’ve got a lot planned to enhance your mapping!
Rob / Magnus, unfortunately not yet! I’m forwarding this on to product management to ensure that it is on their radar.

Any plans to have the MM8 for Macs work with Catalyst? That would be awesome!

I already have MM Mac 7.
Can I use that license to buy another version of MM Mac 7
so as to qualify for a discounted version of MM Mac 8?

Hello from one of your former evangelists,
I have to admit that when you released v8 without the Mac version my frustration was big enough made me use other mind map tools, after of 10 years using MindManager…
Now I’m waiting for your new Mac version and I hope that you are listening your users carefully
BTW If you need a beta tester I’m right here again
Best

I purchased MindManager 7 for Mac at the end of May (4 months ago). Does that mean that I can “Get MindManager 8 for Mac free when you purchase MindManager 7 for Mac”? If not what will the upgrade fee be?
Cheers
Philip

will support for displaying ink from maps created with the windows version finally be coming? This backward compatibility has been missing since the initial release in version 6.

Hi,
finally we are getting there! I haven been workling as a MM trainer for quite a while and are now training/coaching companies in GTD and OnePage with MM as their primary tool. How about integration/syncing of Evernote / OneNote?
I got lots of interested users
Furthermore, any plans for blogging with MM (theres has been a solution (Map4LiveWriter – remember?) but it phased out for some reason.
Thanks in advance for any reply.

Hi Britta, I am a MindManager Reseller and so far there has been no transfer license arrangement from PC to Mac. My advice is to retain the MM8 license for use on your Mac running under Parallels or similar. You made find there are things you can’t do on the Mac even number 8 that you did on the PC.
Second piece of advice is buy MM7 for Mac now and you will get free upgrade to MM8 for Mac. This will save you the cost of a meal or two out.

I am looking at changing from a PC to a MAC. Is it possible to switch my MindManager ver 8 for Windows license into MindManager ver 8 for MAC version?
Or do i have to buy a new license?

Hi there!
I’m an old user of MindManager for Windows and now for MAC! Hopefully, we’ll see great improvements coming to version 8. I just would like to see most features and functions already seen for Windows platform. I miss a few of them.
Keep the good one!
Rgs,
