During the import iThoughts will choose one of the Freemind topic colors to use and ignore the others. For example Freemind has 3 colors per topic (line, fill, text) whereas iThoughts only supports a single topic color. NB2: Not all attributes will be carried over from the source map during the import. NB: The imported map is DUPLICATED and CONVERTED to ITMZ format - so any changes will not be written back to the original. You can then choose the folder and whether it should be stored on device or in iCloud or Dropbox etc. When a map is ‘imported’ to iThoughts then it will be converted to the native iThoughts file format (.itmz) and you will be asked where you’d like it saved. The following methods will work:Įmail the map to yourself then tap on the attachment (in Mail on your iOS device) and choose 'Copy To ' from the Share Sheet.Ĭopy the map into the cloud (iCloud Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, GDrive etc.) then close any open map and choose Import from the menu under the Gear toolbar button. It provides more than 100 built-in icons, 90 clipart images and 35 background canvas patterns making it an impressive visual tool for creating interactive mind maps. The tricky part (on iOS) is getting the map onto your iOS device in the first place. iThoughts 2023 is an excellent application which offers a real-time preview area for handling all the mind mapping operations. On Windows you may need to change the filter in the File Open dialog.

On Windows/Mac it is a simple matter of File -> Open and choose the file to import. IThoughts can import many of the most popular desktop mind map file formats - see here for a list.
