MindNode - Mind Map & Outline

Mind Mapping, Brainstorm Ideas

View

There’s a reason MindNode has long been a go-to mind-mapping tool: It turns ideas—and the process of exploring them—into art.

What we love: Simple text boxes make building mind-maps or outlines super-intuitive, and watching your ideas branch out from a central node helps you see how an overarching concept connects to the details. Play with different node styles, colours, or fonts—or scatter images, emoji, and links throughout to add context and a bit of fun.

With MindNode, you can track and map out all your ideas digitally.

Quick tip: You can export tasks in your mind maps or outlines to the Reminders app. After tapping the MindNode menu button, go to File > Export > Tasks. The two apps stay in sync, so if you mark something off in your Reminders app, it’ll also be checked off in MindNode.

Meet the creator: Founder and CEO Markus Müller-Simhofer launched MindNode in 2008 as a Mac app. The company, based in Vienna, Austria, has since launched the app for iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS as well.
