Mind Map Maker

Grow branches from a central topic with the keyboard and save the mind map as a PNG or SVG image, for brainstorming or organizing study notes.

How to use

1. An example map opens first. Press "New mind map" under "My mind maps (this device)" to start from "Central topic" and type its name.
2. Press Tab for a subtopic and Enter for a topic at the same level, or use "Add subtopic" and "Add same level".
3. Drag a topic onto the middle of another topic to move it under that topic, or onto its top or bottom edge to change the order.
4. Choose "Balanced", "Tree to the right" or "Org chart" under "Layout", and change the color, bold, emoji or note under "Selected topic".
5. When you finish, press "Save PNG", "Save SVG" or "Print". To edit the map again later, keep a JSON copy with "Save file".

How it works

• Paste an indented list into "Outline (indented list)", one topic per line, and press "Rebuild the map from this list". The map can also be exported as text or Markdown.
• A list can hold up to 3,000 topics. The layout is automatic, so topics are placed without overlapping.
• Maps are saved automatically under "My mind maps (this device)", where you can keep several. Nothing is sent to a server.
