Hello everyone, I love org-roam. But I also love [freeplane](https://www.freeplane.org/wiki/index.php/Home). I wonder if some people already “connect” the tools and how? Have a nice day. ---

Thank you for that. I have to try. However I don’t think Freeplane is dead 😉 I’m also wondering how to use org-roam and freeplane together. A freeplane user wrote a [script](https://github.com/EdoFro/Freeplane_note_to_file) to import/export a note content to a txt, md or org file (and vice versa)… which is a first idea… ---

Hi @JeffBrown Thanks for your tool. For a short project with documentation, I went back to Freeplane to see. I confirm that I don’t think it’s dead at all ! There’s new scripts to use freeplane as file explorer or GTD (with todo.txt). I’m even thinking I’ll be able to add “roam” file notes from my Freeplane map. 😉 ---

> not dead Interesting. Where do you find it? ---

Hi, You can use: - [Map Drive Inator](https://github.com/EdoFro/Freeplane_Map-Drive-Inator) as files explorer ([video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vwd38rxAlY)) - [MapInsight](https://github.com/adxsoft/MapInsight) to walk around the nodes in a Freeplane map and assists with finding and connecting nodes using word association and/or searches ([video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSyhkcsB2-M)). - [Jumper](https://github.com/lilive/Freeplane-Jumper) as a fully keyboard driven search box for quick navigation in maps. It filters the nodes on-the-fly as the user types the search terms, and allows to jump to one of the results. ([video](https://vimeo.com/432653512)) - [GTD sync](https://sourceforge.net/projects/gtdsync/) : The Freeplane add-on “GTD Sync” enables you to use the non-linear representation of Freeplane to organise and review your projects, next actions and delegated actions. You can then use a todo.txt list manager like Simpletask for Android to decide on the go what to do in a certain context and to check off completed tasks Enjoy !
