Mindnode works on everything I use from Apple Watch to Vision Pro — and Macs and iPhones, too. It’s maybe my most used productivity app for Vision Pro. I didn’t realize how much of a special thinker I was until I started organizing and note taking in MindNode. Adding the elements of position and landmarking along with the physicality of movement really improves my ability to think and document creatively.

No really taking advantage of Spatial environment

I’ve been waiting a long time for a Mind Mapping tool that was 3 dimensional that could be utilized in an open environment. It’s a shame that this wasn’t the case with this one. Future Functionality I’d be expecting would be 3 dimensional mind mapping, the ability to color the border of the Mental/mind nodes and connecting string/line. The ability to expand upon a node to open up a secondary and tertiary mind map (each one that is expanded is highlighted while the tree above it fades into background)
Developer Response
Thank you for sharing your feedback. I understand your wish for a more 3 dimensional mode, however in our experimentation we never managed to find a good working solution that made sense. This is why we settled on a brainstorming approach that's similar to "moderation cards" that you can pin to a wall and group together.
Love this very promising app!
Amazed
Just the brain storm area makes this app worth supporting! So, Bravo - I’m in! It helped my old brain the first time I tried it. Keep going! I love what you’ve come up with so far!

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. It’s great to hear that you enjoy our new app!
Good App but request new feature
K3n5k1113rn
This app at this price point is really good. I am transitioning my To Do (Appigo TaskFire) tasks, categories, etc. to MindNode. It is almost a replacement for my to do list and I love the representation of the nodes as it more closely aligns with the way I think. To make MindNode more useful, it would be nice to add custom fields to nodes, similar to tags, that could be assigned a value, either a number, letter or date, along with a feature to sort the nodes around the main node by those custom fields. For instance, nodes around a main node could be sorted by date or value and arranged like a clock, or vertical or horizontal, tree, or any other way, to give another view of the data and make it very useful information in some cases. The task node is useful, but would be even more useful if the node with the custom date field (on request) could be a repetitive task, like monthly, weekly, etc. and checking off the node would automatically increment the date field and create a new node at that date value. All in all, this is a well designed app that appears to be supported as of Sep 2025. Good job!
