Scapple is what you are looking for. Its from the same crew that made Scrivener. You can use it free for a month I think or pay like 20 bucks for a lifetime license. It lets you start anywhere and is very simple and intuitive. The only thing bad about it is exporting data out of it.

This is sort of the problem I have with most things that aren't just a text editor. They may be better in some ways (and I do like Scrivener) but at the end of the day, when I'm done, I want everything to be in a universal format on my own filesystem.
