Description

Your brain doesn't think in straight lines. MindNode doesn't force it to. Capture scattered thoughts, connect them in a mind map, and turn them into a clear outline, plan, or project structure.


DESIGNED FOR EVERY KIND OF THINKER
• Personal Productivity: organize your week, track life goals, and plan your next vacation
• Students & Educators: create study guides, summarize lectures, and plan your essay structure
• Business Professionals: visualize project roadmaps, prepare meeting agendas, and plan strategy
• Creatives & Writers: outline your novel, plan your content calendar, and brainstorm campaigns


THINK: EXPLORE AND CAPTURE
• Mind Maps: branch, cluster, and grow ideas freely on an infinite canvas
• Outline View: switch to a structured, hierarchical list whenever a linear flow helps
• Live Collaboration: brainstorm with others in real time and always stay in sync

CLARIFY: STRUCTURE AND REFINE
• Visual Tags: categorize ideas and spotlight what matters
• Connections: draw links between nodes that go beyond hierarchy
• Notes: tuck extra detail into any node, hidden until you need it
• Focus Mode: dim everything except the work in front of you
• Folding: collapse whole branches for a cleaner view

ACT: FROM THOUGHT TO IMPACT
• Tasks: turn ideas into actions, synced with Apple Reminders
• Apple Shortcuts: automate your recurring workflows
• Document Linking: connect nodes across separate documents
• Import and Export: OPML, Markdown, PDF, SVG, PNG, and more

EXPRESS: MAKE IT YOUR OWN
• Themes: choose a curated look or build your own, with automatic light and dark mode
• Layouts and Shapes: arrange nodes your way and pick from a range of node shapes
• Images, Stickers, and Emoji: enrich your maps with over 250 custom stickers and more


AI, A THINKING PARTNER, NOT A REPLACEMENT
MindNode treats AI as a sparring partner for your thinking, never a substitute for it. You stay in control of every idea.
• Suggest a starting structure or expand a branch with a tap
• Turn a finished map into a written draft, or summarize a long document
• Powered by Apple Intelligence where available, with its privacy protections built in


ON ALL YOUR DEVICES
• Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision Pro, native on each
• On Vision Pro, gather your thoughts as colorful pills floating in space and connect them by hand
• Automatic iCloud sync, with offline changes merged when you reconnect
• Localized in 13 languages, with VoiceOver and Dynamic Type support


PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your ideas stay yours. Documents are stored encrypted in your own iCloud, not on our servers, and even live collaboration is end-to-end encrypted, so only you and the people you invite can read your work. MindNode is a small independent team in Europe, owned by its founder and answerable to its users, not investors.
