Go down every rabbit hole. Keep them all in sight.

How does mindmap.io work?

Every node can be an AI chat. Branch any answer, and the whole map stays in view.

What if I have a side question?

Press + on any answer. The side question gets its own branch, and the main thread stays put.

Does the new branch remember the chat above it?

Yes. Each branch carries the path above it, so you never repeat yourself.

So what did the first node say?

That every node can be an AI chat. This branch can see the whole path above it.

Not every node is a prompt

Jot plain notes and build a classic mindmap too. Bring in AI only where you want it.

Images, PDFs, Markdown and colours: what a node can hold

Can I colour code nodes?

Yes. Pick a colour from the palette and organise your map the way you want.

And if the map gets too big to read?

Press zoom out. Every node shrinks to a one-line summary, so you see the whole map at once.

How do I share a map?

Publish it as a link, and anyone with the link can read the whole map.

Can they build on it?

Yes. They can copy it into their own maps and keep going.

Build beautiful, rich mindmaps

  • Images
  • PDFs
  • Markdown
  • Color coding
A whole mindmap comparing brainstorming tools, with branches colored pink, amber and violet, a photo of sticky notes, an attached PDF, a hand-drawn sketch branched into its three steps, Markdown lists, three folded branches with counts, and a row of photos of a kitten, a puppy and a red panda.

Ask AI inside your nodes, create promptmaps

Let AI explore and build knowledge bases for you

Scan large maps at a glance

What is the context for each prompt?

The path from the root down to that node, and nothing else. That is what lets two branches explore opposite directions without bleeding into each other.

Can I share a map with someone who has no account?

Yes, you can publish a mindmap and get a read-only link anyone can open, or embed it in a page.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. mindmap.io runs in the browser on phones and tablets, with touch panning, zooming, and editing. Nothing to install.

Do you train AI on my maps?

No, we don't train AI on your maps. Your prompts go to the model provider you picked to answer the node. That's it.
