Name: Brainsharper
Homepage: https://www.brainsharper.com
Download: https://www.brainsharper.com/downloads/ ... 6.1015.exe
Requires .NET 4
May be considered portable or not, depending on the strictness applied to the definition (see below)
Brainsharper is a Concept mapping software. Easier than VUE, and great for quick yet complex maps. I use the fact that you can label the arrows, which many other Concept and Mind mapping software does not have. It is easy and intuitive and I have now created a few maps for coursework with this tool.
Here is a crib sheet I created with Brainsharper to show most of its functions. {F1} in the software takes you to its documentation page for further details.

How to Extract:
Method 1:Use Universal Extractor to extract brainsharper.msi file then again to extract the msi into a folder Run BrainSharperWin.exe
Method 2: Run the Installer, copy files to a new directory, and uninstall. It appears to create a .brainsharper file association,
Not fully portable
Creates a .brainsharper file association if you run the installer (Method 2 only)
Creates Brainsharper directory in the Documents folder. This is where all brainsharper documents are kept.
If you move the directory, it will create a new one the next time it is run
Last updated in 2012 but works well on Windows 10.

Re: Brainsharper Concept Mapper
Thanks for sharing this little gem. I like the simplicity of it.
Despite its age it is easy to control on HD screens, no tiny dialogs to cope with, which really sets it apart from other veterans.

I love the simplicity. It's not as intuitive as I expected but I still was able to build something quickly
Everyone else should look at that as well as the documentation. https://www.brainsharper.com/documentation
You made that? Very nice. I hope the developers come across this thread.Cornflower wrote: ↑Thu Nov 04, 2021 7:40 am Here is a crib sheet I created with Brainsharper to show most of its functions. {F1} in the software takes you to its documentation page for further details.
