I used Evernote to organize my ideas, but IdeaGrid specializes in getting out ideas, so it is very organized.
IT Related / Mac + iPhone
I've tried various apps, and I think the greatest appeal is the beauty of the user interface and ease of use. I think more people will start using it if they persist in obtaining simplicity. I am looking forward to the future development.
Architectural Design / Mac + iPhone
Since I am using it on my iPhone, I can write things down whenever I come up with something. Also, the operational feeling is really cool. When I write down ideas I come up with on a notepad, it gets lost in the other things I jot down. With IdeaGrid, I can see where everything is right away, and it is fun to use.
Nursing Care Staff & Therapist / iPhone
Is is fun using it since all the controls are intuitive. I have searched for and tried various apps, but none have performed better than IdeaGrid.
Engineer / iPad
You can delve into your thoughts as if you're playing a game.
NPO Employee / Mac + iPad
It is very easy to gather one's thoughts. It is very good as a tool for generally organizing personal thoughts that you don't share with others.
Service Industry / Mac + iPad
I can grasp how to operate it intuitively somehow without a user's manual. I think it makes it easier to organize one's thoughts.
Self-Employed / Mac + iPhone
The freedom of editing is very high. A app like none other until now, and all I can say is the high level of freedom.
University Staff / Mac + iPad + iPhone
Not only is it effective to wring out ideas, it can be used as material for business proposal and other various data and documents. I am certain I won't regret purchasing the product, as there is a wide variety of opportunities to use it, depending on how you use it. I have already introduced it to coworkers and acquaintances in my field of business, and most of them have purchased it. I have heard favorable reviews from them as well.
Event Project Manager / Mac + iPad + iPhone
The point which I received is that it is not too hard or not too soft. I guess you can say a very flexible Mandala or a little stiff Mindmap. Also, I think there are many people who can relate to the story of the making.
Teacher / iPad + iPhone
The fact that you can lay out your ideas within the limited space in squares of various sizes. The act of arranging ties into starting the thinking process.
Government Worker (Teacher) / Mac
As the operation is very intuitive, it is fun to use. The feeling of being able to just throw in ideas is a plus. It is suited for throwing in lots of ideas that just comes to mind.
Office Worker / Mac + iPad
I love the fact that you can change the size of the squares and input data, as well as the ability to incorporate websites.
Service Industry / Mac + iPhone
The fact that you can not only spread out ideas on a flat plane, but you can record ideas with an image of digging deeper in.
IT Technical Work / Mac + iPhone
You can note things easily, and living up to its concept, it is great that you can overlook various things. I may be off, but it is easier for me to manage than MiNDPiECE.
Physical Worker / Mac + iPad
The fact that you can use it intuitively, and you can organize things easily by nesting. It is easy to switch to/from widening and deepening your thoughts.
Part-time Worker / iPhone
-An app that broadens your ideas.
-The waterdrop-like sounds are soothing.
-The usability makes it easier to come up with ideas.
Vision Artist / Mac + iPhone
With "memos", one might turn into an "idea", or a new "idea" may come from the combination of many "memos". You can layer your "memos" in IdeaGrid. I recommend it because you can add depth to you "memos", which is usually spatially and physically limited in regular notepads.
Educational Researcher / Mac
Surprisingly, drawing is very fun. Looking at the drawing to receive further stimulation is very a very good feeling.
Music Production / Mac
I am very happy since I was looking for a tool that I could come up with ideas through mandala idea creation. I will look for other pros through further use.
Office Worker / Mac
The controls, sound effects, and design are excellent. It is better than Mindmap. It helps with brainstorming.
Social Worker / Mac + iPad + iPhone
It has a high degree of perfection, and the interface is refined. Easy to use. Utilization is likely to expand as I get used to it.
Consulting / Mac + iPad
Features
Consolidate the Input, Organization, Expansion, and Actualization That Develops Your Ideas.
1. Input
Producing voluminous, high-quality input requires a suitable place to lay it all out.
IdeaGrid provides you with a whiteboard in your pocket. Naturally collect your ideas in this specialized idea space.
2. Idea Organization
Organize your collection of ideas before they cool down, thus allowing your ideas to develop yet even more ideas.
Intuitive as sticky notes, IdeaGrid also allows you to change the size, color, or to layer ideas, creating an environment more conducive to serendipity.
3. Idea Expansions & Actualization
If you want to take just one idea and expand it to 100, IdeaGrid makes it possible.
Over 20 idea frameworks allow you to freely grow your ideas, then use tools like ToDo or GTD to simply and easily make your ideas a reality.
Take a Closer Look!
1. Input
Whiteboard Where Ideas Collect.
Open notes to drag them wherever you like. Arrange your notes on the whiteboard. Going far beyond text, you can also post images, websites, or handwritten notes.
No need to start filling in notes from the upper-left side. You have the power to freely and simply create rules regarding placement. For example, place related ideas in the upper-left, reference memos in the upper-right, and ToDo at the bottom.
2. Idea Organization
Gain a Better Understanding with an Interface as Intuitive as Sticky Notes.
Each and every idea has a size, color, and significance of its own. Show the dynamic nature of important ideas by making them larger, or adding color, icons, or arrows.
Similar ideas can be dragged onto each other. Then they are grouped and create a new hierarchy. If you can organize it cleanly, ultimately leading to a better understanding.
3. Idea Expansions & Actualization
Multiply and Actualize Your Ideas with This Framework.
Idea frameworks come in handy when you want to expand an idea more or put it into action as a task. IdeaGrid is preloaded with over 20 kinds of templates. You can expand ideas with the "Mandala Chart" or "Idea Map", and organize them with "5W1H" and "Matrix". Upon putting an idea into action, you can then manage tasks with "ToDo" and "GTD".
Expand Ideas : Idea Map, Mandala Chart
Organize Ideas : 5W1H, Matrix, Step
Analyze Ideas : SWOT, 3C, Business Model Canvas
Perform a Task : ToDo, GTD
Design and Usability
Premium User-Friendliness and Easy to Get the Hang of.
If you carry a favorite pocketbook, use IdeaGrid like an extra idea notebook. With 15 book designs to choose from as well as open and close animations, we aimed to give it the feel of an analog pocketbook.
Three Kinds of Devices to Choose From
Choose Mac, iPad or iPhone.
Mac, iPad and iPhone versions are available. You can use just one, or several. Many people seem to use different versions for different purposes: collecting material with the iPhone version when out, then organizing it at home with the Mac version.
Exclusive Cloud Service + Dropbox
Support for Syncing and Backup.
Synchronization of multiple devices is made possible by using our exclusive cloud service, IdeaGrid Cloud. The Lite Plan with 100MB of storage allows all IdeaGrid users to use this service without any additional costs.
Also, Dropbox backup is supported. Your important data can be backed up so you do not need to worry about storage space.
Usage
The Applications Are Endless. How Will You Use IdeaGrid?
ToDo
Checking an item in your Idea List quickly converts it to ToDo. Finished tasks are tossed into the "Complete" box at lower right, lending an analog and intuitive operational feel.
Handwritten Idea Notes
By using the Draw function, your handwritten notes appear as you imagined. From idea sketches to proposal drafts and more, there are so many ways to work effectively. This method is very useful on your iPad.
Project Manager
Manage information with subgrids as "Folders." To consolidate a number of grids into one, you can stratify it and use it in Project Manager.
Plus, Here Are Some Workshops.
Usage Workshop #1
Eliminate Confusion in 30 Minutes with the Idea Catalog Method.
Won't it be refreshing once you finally let out all those ideas that have been bouncing around in your head? You could even say that the process of getting your ideas out also functions as a way to keep your mind free and clear. By clearing your mind, you can consider the methods to enumerate your ideas.
Usage Workshop #2
Realize Ideas One After the Next with Action Notes.
Ideas don't stay ideas forever; they can be "processed" when converted to tasks. In doing so, ideas proceed on their own toward realization. Let's take a look at Action Notes, which quickly turn ideas into tasks.
Usage Workshop #3
Seminar Content Is Aggressively Consolidated into Idea Maps.
In order to connect seminar content to your own actions, it is vital to have notes conscious of doing so. Here, let's take a look at how to catch the points of a seminar, and tricks for taking notes that aggressively connect them your own ideas.
