MindNode
MindNode helps you capture, connect, and evolve ideas visually as mind maps and outlines.
MindNode is a mind mapping and outlining app developed by IdeasOnCanvas, an Austrian company founded in 2008. It is built exclusively for Apple platforms, including macOS, iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and visionOS. The app addresses the challenge of capturing, connecting, and structuring ideas visually, allowing users to work on an infinite canvas and switch between mind map and outline views as their thinking develops.
Key features include visual tags, connections, notes, tasks synced with Apple Reminders, focus mode, folding, LaTeX support, and live collaboration. It offers on-device AI capabilities such as AI brainstorming, text generation and summarization, and image background removal. The app integrates with Apple Shortcuts, supports importing from OPML, Markdown, and plain text, and exports to formats including PDF, SVG, FreeMind, OPML, PNG, Markdown, TextBundle, plain text, and rich text. Data is stored encrypted in iCloud, and the app supports VoiceOver, dynamic type, and multiple languages.
MindNode is aimed at individuals, students, educators, business professionals, creatives, and writers. It is available as a free app with a paid MindNode Plus subscription offered on a monthly or yearly basis, which includes a free trial. A legacy version, MindNode Classic, is also available and included with any MindNode subscription.
