FreeMind is a free mind mapping application written in Java. It is licensed under the GNU General Public License and runs on Microsoft Windows, Linux and MacOS X via Java Runtime Environment (JRE). FreeMind uses the Swing GUI toolkit for Java.

FreeMind allows the user to edit a hierarchical set of ideas around a central concept. The non-linear approach assists in brainstorming new outlines and projects as ideas are added around the mind map.

As a Java application, FreeMind is portable across multiple platforms and retains its same user interface, causing some amount of variation from the common interface in each platform.
