What is Map Pad?
Map Pad is a free, open-source note-taking and information management software that provides an alternative to commercial options like Microsoft OneNote or Evernote. It uses an interactive and customizable map interface to help users visually organize their notes and information.
With Map Pad, all your notes, documents, links and media files can be grouped onto an infinite virtual sheet that works like a canvas. You place notes wherever you want by simply clicking on the map, and use links, tags and visual groupings to connect related content. Map layers also allow you to create separate workspaces for different projects or contexts.
Some key features of Map Pad:
- Infinite zoomable canvas for organizing content
- Visual map view shows connections between notes
- Tagging and links to associate related items
- Layers to separate projects and contexts
- Rich text notes with formatting options
- Attach documents, images, audio files etc.
- Cross-platform - works on Windows, Mac, Linux and mobile
With its visual approach to information management, Map Pad can be great for research and analysis work, note taking, project planning and personal knowledge management. As an open source alternative to restrictive commercial tools like OneNote and Evernote, Map Pad puts you fully in control of your data while giving you a powerful and versatile platform to organize it.
