We love apps that save you time, and Anything After fits that mold perfectly.

If you’re not the kind of person that waits to see what’s after the credits no matter what type of movie you’re watching, there’s no point in checking out Anything After.

No matter how big or small the idea, Dream-X will help you realize it in visual form. You’re able to choose from two different themes and then get right to your mind mapping. Start off with a single idea and then branch out from there. You’re able to create new branches by selecting the idea you want them to branch off from and then tapping and holding on a spot on the screen. Each branched off idea can be color coded, include photo and message, include a task or subtask, and sport an icon. You’re able to freely rearrange your ideas just by dragging them around the canvas. You’re also able to export your mind maps and share them via email. The app includes tutorial videos and samples to help you get started.

If your thoughts are too complicated for a simple notepad, give Dream-X a shot. It provides structure and visual aid for your best and craziest ideas.

The app can be a little cumbersome to use, so make sure your ideas are worth it.
