Powerful mind mapping and outlining
Capture your thoughts and clarify your ideas with MindNode, the most delightful way to brainstorm for Mac & iOS. Start exploring your ideas and branch them out into new levels with powerful mind mapping software. The minimal, clean interface stays out of your way so that you can focus on what’s important.
Good ideas in any form
Use words, images, stickers, tags, tasks, notes, and more to visualize your idea. Switch between outlining and mind mapping, or use them side-by-side to find the approach that works for you. MindNode, a robust mind mapping app, has the right tools to help you extract your ideas.
Share your vision
Easily share your documents with others or move them one step further in your creative process. Send tasks to Apple Reminders, Things, or OmniFocus.

A beautiful canvas
Personalize your thoughts with the help of 260+ hand-crafted Stickers or your own images. Adjust every font, color, branch, and node how you want to or use one of the beautiful built-in Themes. With Smart Layout functionality, your mind map will always look neat and organized.
Find new connections
Establish links between thoughts and ideas that you never considered before. Connect, detach, and reconnect nodes or fold your branches. Use Connections and highlighting Tags to discover unexpected relationships.

I removed the Mac App Store version of MindNode and installed it through Setapp, but the app won’t open. It displays a message saying I’m not allowed to have two versions installed, even though I’ve completely removed the App Store version. I haven’t experienced this issue with any other Setapp apps that also have a Mac App Store version.

Hello. Could you please contact us ([email protected]) with a screenshot of this issue. We have never heard of this before and are unsure what is causing this. You should be able to install both versions side by side. –Markus
