If you’re getting frustrated with your productivity or workflow at the computer, you might need to get your computer to work with you better. Scapple is a freeform, mind-mapping application that makes it effortless to record your ideas and tease out connections between them.

Once you start using Scapple, it’ll become an invaluable tool for keeping all your ideas in one place for comparison and exploration, and right now you can get it for a mere $8.99.

Scapple lets you literally draw comparisons between ideas as they appear all together on one big canvas. You can add new ideas with a double click, move your notes around the screen without ever running out of space (compare that to other idea visualizing apps like Paper). You can even gather notes together in various shapes and share them all with your collaborators, making this a great way to visually track and examine your creative process in a whole new way.
