Brainstorm Lite is a freeware, restrictive brainstorming tool that forces you to follow some core brainstorming rules thus achieving better results in less time.

The software tracks brainstorming time and prohibits the user from entering new ideas after the time is up. This is used to inspire creativity because everyone knows how much time is left to generate new ideas and that there remains no extra time.

Since suspending from judgments is the key to success of your brainstorming session, the Brainstorm Lite prevents deleting or even editing any ideas while session is going. This allows even the random ideas pass to analysis stage at which they often appear to be the best.

However once the session is finished, the application transforms into simple text editor, meant for spellchecking or simple editing.

Brainstorm Lite is compatible with most of mind mapping or outlining software via OPML format. Also it allows saving the results in TXT and RTF to work over them in text editor.
