🗺️ mindmap Live · Self-host

Mind maps + structured thinking for researchers + writers + planners

Mind mapper that stays keyboard-driven. Tab to indent, shift-tab to outdent. Drag to reorganize. Every node has notes. Export to markdown (nested bullets), OPML (outline), or PNG. No subscription, no cloud lock-in. Your mind maps live in your database. For researchers, writers, product planners, anyone who thinks in trees.

What it does

⌨️

Keyboard-first

Tab to indent (new child). Shift-Tab to outdent. Enter for sibling. Arrow keys navigate. / for quick search. You can build a 200-node map without touching the mouse. For actual thinkers.

📝

Notes per node

Click a node, add notes (markdown). Long-form notes stay out of the map visual but don't get lost. The map shows the skeleton, notes are the meat.

📤

Export anywhere

Markdown (nested bullets for Obsidian / Notion / Roam). OPML (for any outliner). PNG (for slides). JSON (for API integration). No vendor lock-in.

🔍

Search everything

Full-text search across all maps. Find "that thing I mapped about auth flow last June." Works across map titles, node text, and notes. Fast.

🎨

Simple styling

Color per branch. Icon per node. No "style studio" hell. The map is for thinking, not aesthetics. Dark mode.

🔒

Thinker-owned

Flask + SQLite. Your maps stay on your machine. Not a whiteboard-SaaS's 'collaboration intelligence' input. Delete = gone.
