What is Coggle?
Coggle is a web-based mind mapping and diagramming tool that helps you make sense of complex information. You start from a central idea and branch out, adding text, images, links and colours, and it keeps the map tidy as it grows.
Several people can edit the same diagram in real time, leave comments and chat, and every change is saved in a full history you can browse. Diagrams can be downloaded as PDF or images or exported to formats such as .mm and Visio. The free plan includes unlimited public diagrams and 3 private ones.
