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.

    I really don't understand how developer thinks they know how I manage and structure and use my files and the workflow I use. Not being able to locate my files and have them stored in some invisible iCloud folder is a no-brainer show stop, for me. I installed this work with it for five minutes before I figured out that file storage is invisible and hidden and then promptly deleted it.

    Hello Zeppo. MindNode Next stores the documents in a database and not a file on disk. If you rely on files, we recommend you stick with our MindNode Classic app. We would also love to learn ([email protected]) why files are crucial to your workflow so we can adapt our strategy in the future. For example based on user feedback we recently added Alias that can be added to Finder/Files to directly link to MindNode documents. – Markus
