We think and live in 3D and our thoughts are endlessly complex - no screen or wall can adequately capture or reflect them. Noda makes it possible. In Noda, your ideas take shape around you and can be mapped in limitless, multidimensional space, giving you more room to think and associate ideas. Your body’s natural abilities - movement and voice – enhance and ease the process of building conceptual structures.
People are using Noda for mind-mapping, project planning, plotting videos and articles, storyboarding, website flows, network diagrams, lesson plans and memory palaces.
With multiplayer functionality, you can use Noda to build mental models as a reflective, independent exercise, or invite others to collaborate, co-create and explore the paths and structures of your ideas.
Wonderful. I paid for this app when it was a paid version, but now it seems there is a monthly fee as well. No worries, I don't mind supporting apps like this, which push VR into areas other than "gaming". This is a great app, and it seems like it supports same-account multi-player...meaning with my two headsets logged into one account, I can mindmap with my family using my same two headsets on my account.
Could use a paid "basic" tier. It's free and the feature set is a complete working product - BUT capped at 50 nodes, which is really not enough for such a large 3D space we could otherwise be occupying. So the "free" can really just be considered a free trial, not practical for anything I want to get into details of, not enough without compromising quality. Honestly, I'd be OK with a one-time fee for a bigger actually-enough-for-a-project node limit and then the optional subscription for the rest of the fancy features.
i have mind mapped for over 30 years. moving from paper to desktop and now VR...
this by far the best way for my brain to commit ideas and thinking to the external world. this software is a revolution for me. i cant reccomend it enough !
How to save?. I'm really excited this app exists. I'm not excited there is no user guide. (I had to search on YouTube and watch someone else make something in Noda to get the basics.) In fact, I can't even figure out how to save my work!
On the right path but needs more work. Be nice if the background could be changed, atleast the colour, a bit too dull for me. Couldn't find anything in the settings. Be nice to be able to write freely too.
Was hoping I could stop using my small whiteboard for mindmapping ideas but I guess I'll stick to that until this is improved more. Atleast the dull background/walls to something brighter.
i have to pay AGAIN ?. i was very excited about this app as i love mind mapping ! i paid £15.99 for it on the 6th of november and with the latest update it now wants ANOTHER £14.99 to unlock the full version. this is way to expensive (over £30) for an app that still needs loads of work. avoid for the time being !
Finally an productivity App. having A.D.D., planning can sometimes be a struggle when trying to map out your entire process in a moment. This App allows you to quickly make a node (a thought), voice text a comment over the node, and place it anywhere while you continue to process the rest of your train of thought. Seeing all of my notes in virtural space has helped me recover from getting lost in "rabbit trailing" to the point of losing focus on the origin of my origional thought. Working with architecture and engineering, this is a very common issue when reviewing all of the details and notes.
Things that would be great to see added to the app, if possible: .png, jpg, pdf import option. Voice text edit: - each time I voice txt, it automatically deletes any words already in the note. Also, it times out very fast if I delay speaking an additional word by a second. This makes it a little tedious if the app fails to understand a word completely and I have to go back, scroll through the note and edit manually each time. List Below Node Option: -It would really help the overall process to see a txt area below the node for quick sentance/paragraph decriptions Traveling: -Turning direction of focus with the controllers would really help.
*to those reviewing comments, these are just minor requests to an incredible application. I still have total functionality with my primary use for Noda.

素晴らしいスタートですが、作業が必要です。 ツールとして使えるようにするためには以下の機能が必要です。 A) ノードのサイズを調整する機能。 B) 円形のリンク。 他のノードの周りに惑星軌道でノードを配置する機能のように。 C) マインドマップのロジックを追加しました。 マスターノード、サブノードのように。 D) 標準ラベルのメニューと、それらに新しいラベルを追加する機能。

great start, needs work. We would need the following in order to be able to use it as a tool: A) Ability to adjust the size of the nodes. B) Circular links. As in the ability to put nodes in a planetary orbit around other nodes. C) More MindMap logic. As in master nodes, and subordiate nodes. D) A menu of standard labels & the ability to add new labels to them.
Because thinking it is not linear. Absolutely loving it! I'm a designer, a business owner, a highly creative but unorganised thinker. Organizing my thinking process with traditional mind 2d mapping softwares always requires time and effort especially If I need to go back to edit those at a later time. Noda has changed all of that I can just get into the app and start to organise my ideas in a fast intuitive way. It takes a little time to get used to and learn all the functionalities and it needs further improvements...but wow 100% the best way to mind map and organize ideas in 2021!
Have to pay twice?. I bought this app in November 2020 for 20 odd dollars and it is amazing i work so much better in a vr enviroment. That said i tried to continue with my work today and i have been prompted to pay again because i somehow only own the "free version" thats kinda messed up :)
A work in progress. I think what would help to make this REALLY useful for people who do not think in 4D, is the ability to make this available online/offline, or via an app, so those without headsets can review (that is one of the biggest hurdles for VR presently).
While this is designed for non-linear thinkers/creators like myself, there will still be a need to direct people to make the connections. The ability to make a “guided tour” of one’s noodle in 4D, so others can “get it,” especially on mobile, would be a game-changer for this software.
Trust me, I have shared this with others and their response is: WTF?! For those who think linearly, this thing is their worst nightmare, so for the creator to make a simple presentation “on rails,” might be one of the best things that the developers can do to get this to larger audiences and users.
For me, Noda is the closest approximation to how I think, which is why I love that it exists in a way that is representative of that. I wish there were a way to “trigger” multiple associations, but, one step at a time.
Yes, it could use a lot more features, but I imagine the team is small, so, baby steps and patience, but this software has tremendous promise: especially once they document how to use it!
I love this! Awesome Planning Tool! All features working now so changing to 5 star. WHY is this amazing? Well for those of us who need a little extra something to get us working on those hard projects or problems, this software puts you where you want to be, and the music is perfect for putting you in the right frame of mind! Interface is easy to figure out. It is colorful, it is beautiful! Great for adding your own pictures and visualizing outcomes! Why 5 stars? BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING OUT THERE LIKE THIS! Suggestions would be to add smooth moving, the teleport is a bit clunky for positioning yourself correctly in the room.
Connecting with Employee. Crazy idea, what if you can pull it out of your head, instead of discussing it out? I have a young employee who for his age is way ahead of the game. I have had trouble connecting with him, mostly because we agree how alike we are. I brought in the rift, which I am only running with a 1/2 power graphics card and it skips more than my sublime CD from high school. Everything does, not just noda, in fact it runs better than most. He coulden't even pick 1 career related goal that he wanted to attain - brain locked... so he picked "Dream Car" as the goal to reach.
I left the room for about ten minutes on a call and when I came back, he was essentially done with not only the finance based payoff idea to best suit his ideas, he had actually reached a career path by default during the process!
One thing, though... I haven't looked at the file from the export yet, but how can you simply save the MM within the app? It appears the only way is to leave it up on the screen overnight... please advise
