Mind Map: Brainstorm & Notes

Turn your thoughts into a mind map you can actually see. MindFlow gives you an infinite canvas, organic curved branches, and six layout modes — so every idea finds its place.

Works offline, with no account and no subscription. Open the app and start mapping.

Use it as a mind map maker for brainstorming, study notes, concept maps and project plans. Mind mapping takes seconds: type the central idea, then add branches.

🧠 Six layout modes

Free-form, radial, tree right, tree down, org chart, and fishbone (unlock the last two for good inside the app, or get them with MindFlow Pro). Switch anytime — every node animates smoothly to its new position. A fishbone diagram for cause-and-effect, an org chart for structure, a radial mind map for pure brainstorming.

🔍 Search inside every map

Search finds a word in any idea of any map, not just the titles, and opens the map right on that idea.

⚡ Quick capture

Jot an idea from the home screen without opening a map. It lands under the central idea of the map you pick, or starts a new map of its own.

🎨 Beautiful by default

Smooth cubic bezier branches. Branch colors match the parent node. Ten map themes: five included, and five more you can unlock one by one inside the app, or all at once with MindFlow Pro. A real light and dark mode, a minimap and snap-to-grid.

🧩 Backgrounds and patterns

Five plain canvas backgrounds, plus graph paper, blueprint, notebook, isometric and kraft patterns. Unlock each pattern for good inside the app, or get every pattern with MindFlow Pro. Pick a default theme, layout and background in Settings, and every new map starts that way.

✨ Focus mode

Spotlight a single branch and dim the rest — your concentration tool for deep thinking.

📊 Outline view

Switch between the visual map and an indented text outline. Edit in either view; changes sync instantly. Ideal for turning a brainstorm into an essay outline.

🎤 Present mode

Step through your branches one at a time with zoom and highlight. Perfect for a meeting agenda, teaching, or walking someone through a project plan.

📋 Fifteen templates built in

Brainstorm, SWOT analysis, decision tree, study notes, book summary, essay outline, project plan, meeting agenda, weekly planner, goal map and more. Every template is a starting point you can reshape; seven of them unlock one by one inside the app, or all of them with MindFlow Pro.

🎯 Rich nodes

Twelve colors. Five shapes. Sixty icons. A note on any node, cross-links between any two nodes, and branches that expand and collapse.

📤 Export anywhere

PNG image. PDF, ready to print. Markdown for your notes app. Text outline to the clipboard. OPML for other mind map apps. PDF and OPML each unlock inside the app, or with MindFlow Pro.

📱 Built for touch

Smooth pinch-to-zoom, pan, and drag on a canvas that stays responsive. Auto-save every five seconds. Unlimited maps stored on your device, with stars and sorting. Works on tablets too, in 7 languages.

🔒 Private by design

Every map stays on your device: no account, no sign-up, no cloud.

💎 MindFlow Pro

One payment, not a subscription: every template, theme, layout and canvas pattern, and PDF and OPML export. Everything else works without it.

Whether you are planning a project, studying for an exam, structuring an essay, or just getting a tangle of ideas out of your head — MindFlow gives your thinking a shape.
