Coggle

Coggle is a fiercely agile, highly disruptive, and incredibly colorful cloud platform that completely redefined the market with its "Frictionless Google Drive Integration." While enterprise tools require complex logins, Coggle built a massive empire in the education and startup space by acting exactly like a native Google Doc, but for mind maps. The absolute core differentiator of Coggle is its "Organic Web Interface and Real-Time History." It is famously easy to use. You log in with a Google account, and immediately start drawing highly colorful, organic, curving branches. Crucially, Coggle mathematically records every single edit ever made, allowing a user to drag a slider back in time to see exactly how the brainstorm evolved. Because it completely eliminated the barrier to entry for collaborative mapping, offering staggering ease-of-use and unparalleled document history, it is heavily favored by universities, remote startup teams, and casual brainstormers.
