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 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.
