About Noda
Understand and Be Understood
Our minds hold complex ideas connected in ways we cannot fully examine unaided. We often create symbolic representations of our thoughts – brainstorms, diagrams, mind-maps – but our ability to explore and represent them is limited by traditional 2D tools like whiteboards, mind-mapping software, and paper. We think and live in 3D and our thoughts are endlessly complex - no screen or wall can adequately capture or reflect them. Noda makes it possible. In Noda, your ideas take shape around you and can be mapped in limitless, multidimensional space, giving you more room to think and associate ideas. Your body’s natural abilities - movement and voice – enhance and ease the process of building conceptual structures. If traditional concept mapping tools are like architectural plans, Noda is an actual house.
In Noda, shapes - along with their color, labels and spatial location - hold concepts. Links show relationships between them. This format supports representing anything where relationships between concepts is important. People are using Noda for mind-mapping, planning projects, plotting videos and articles, storyboarding, website flows, network diagrams and lesson plans. You also might use Noda to construct memory palaces, model molecular structures, or simply hang out with friends in virtual space.
With multiplayer functionality available at all package levels, you can use Noda to build mental models as a reflective, independent exercise, or invite others to collaborate, co-create and explore the paths and structures of your ideas. You might invite friends or colleagues to brainstorm and build out a concept with you. Or you could bring an audience in for a walkthrough presentation of your ideas. Noda allows for interactions and demonstrations that are not possible in physical reality, like floating up together to examine a model built in vertical space.
Noda’s free-to-play version provides multiplayer functionality and the ability to save a single map of up to 50 nodes.

Noda is not a game. Games contain meaningful gamelike interaction and game loops, which are absent in this software. Instead of being a game, Noda is a software application that is a non-free demo/advertisement for an unsuccessful VR exclusive "virtual whiteboard collaborative space". It's not free, you have to pay an eye watering $20 to unlock the whole application (which is not a game) and it's also infested with a cancerous in-app cash shop. I wonder why people have a low opinion of this developer? It is a mystery. Anyway this garbage is not a game. For those unfamiliar with what actually makes something a game, a "game loop" describes the interaction and feedback a gamer has when playing a game. Tetris, for example, has a game loop where a random block appears, the gamer interacts with the block to position it, and then the game decides if that finishes a row or not, increases the players score if any rows were completed, then gives the gamer another block to position. Counter-Strike has a game loop where a player seeks another player, tests their skill against that player by shooting them or being shot, the computer rewards the player if they win, and then if the pla…2 found this helpful
use obsidian instead.
Игра 'Noda' – это восхитительный пазл, который умудряется быть одновременно расслабляющим и невероятно стимулирующим. Простая, но элегантная механика движения блоков и сопоставления цветов быстро затягивает, а нарастающая сложность уровней заставляет задуматься. Визуальный стиль минималистичный и приятен глазу, а музыкальное сопровождение создает атмосферу спокойствия и концентрации. Noda идеально подходит для коротких сессий, чтобы отвлечься и размять мозг, но легко можно засесть на часы, пытаясь найти оптимальное решение. Особо радует отсутствие раздражающей рекламы или микротранзакций, что позволяет полностью сосредоточиться на игровом процессе. Единственный небольшой минус – порой хотелось бы больше подсказок для особенно сложных уровней, но это небольшая придирка, учитывая общую продуманность и увлекательность игры. В целом, Noda – прекрасный выбор для любителей головоломок, которые ценят минимализм и элегантный дизайн. Рекомендую всем!

I was really hoping to find something like this. Amazing!
I purchased Noda back in 2019 (early access) because it's a novel use of VR; a rare 'productivity app' - great to see! The interface is easy to use, everything works well and looks nice. I don't have a huge need / demand for 3D node maps in my life, so I've just built a few maps to play around with the tool... there's a lot of potential here, especially for collaboration with the multiplayer feature. Your mileage may vary based on your use cases. Try the free demo and let your imagination run wild! For the price I paid, and what the devs have achieved, I give this THUMBS: UP!
