MindNode Next features


Create mind maps and outlines

Start by entering your main topic and add related notes or aspects. Quickly generate a colorful, tree-like map with branches and nodes. Drag, drop, fold, and rearrange to get a clear overview. Show relationships between ideas to understand connections — whether outlining a novel, planning a project, or mapping tasks. It’s simple, intuitive, and helps you organize thoughts effortlessly.


Turn ideas into tasks

MindNode isn’t just for brainstorming. It shines when it comes to turning ideas into actionable tasks. If you’re planning a business launch, you can branch out from marketing strategies to product features and turn each into a task with checkboxes. Not a business person? Create a grocery list or plan your next workout session.


Customize maps visually

Your mind maps don’t have to look boring or black and white. MindNode Next offers many options to beautify your maps. You can color‑code nodes to represent different categories, apply themes for a polished look, and add visual tags or stickers to give quick context. There are over 250 built-in stickers like icons for ideas, deadlines, or priorities that help make your maps more engaging and easier to understand at a glance.


Collaborate in real time

Work together instantly with others by inviting team members to edit the same map at once. Whether you're in the same location or across the globe, everyone can contribute ideas, refine concepts, and see updates live. This makes joint projects, such as launching a product or planning a story, more seamless, efficient, and interactive.


Share and export easily

Sharing your mind maps is quick and simple. MindNode Next supports various export formats, including PDF, SVG, FreeMind, OPML, PNG, Markdown, TextBundle, Plain Text, and Rich Text. You can also save your maps as images, making it easy to insert them into presentations or reports. Whether collaborating with your team or presenting ideas to clients, MindNode Next makes sure your work is accessible and looks professional everywhere.

    App version: 2025.7.1

    Can’t store mindmaps in the file system, so they cannot be stored together with all other files of a project, don’t go into the same backups etc. That is a major impediment for using that app in a professional context. App description does not make that clear, and also does not explain at all what is different to Mind Node Classic.

    Next with setapp is a big deal! but the reason I cannot update completely from classic is the missing of the quick entry, it’s always good to lightly brainstorm some new idea without heavy distraction like opening a new huge window on screen. Please bring it to the Next Version.
