For a free alternative, Prezi could be used to create a mindmap, but one would lose the simplicity of Scapple, ability to work without a web connection, and would not be able to output files. Currently, Scapple, developed by Literature and Latte, is only available for Macs and the price is $12 for an educational license and $15 for a regular license. If one uses Scrivener for writing, it’s possible to export a Scapple mindmap and import it as an outline to Scrivener. One can drag and drop this group anywhere on Scapple. Images and text in a background shape that holds everything together. While it doesn’t replace my notebook, I’ve used Photoshop and a Wacom Bamboo Create drawing pad to add doodles and notes. Further, to add an image, one merely drags and drops the file onto the digital paper. One types notes and can easily group them together and link ideas/notes to one another. Since I have a reason to use the software, I can really see how the tool can be used.Įssentially, Scapple is a large piece of digital paper. (Thank you, Dropbox.) So, I decided to give Scapple another try and, this time around, I’m impressed.
I needed to quickly lay out ideas and move from work to home computers. Last month I started work on a novel and the process is so much more complex than writing a short story. My dismissiveness though had more to do with a failure of vision on my part, than a failure of functionality with the software. After reading “ Making Connections with Scapple” by Amy Cavender two months ago, I downloaded the trial version of Scapple, tested it out, and wasn’t impressed.

Testing software without a use case is like kicking the tires of a car.
