Output format

Editable tree with central concept, 3-6 main branches, and sub-branches up to 4 levels deep. Color-tagged by category. Export as Mermaid markdown, nested outline, or screenshot. 10+ output languages.

You get

A navigable mind map you can browse in the browser, plus the underlying outline. One click to turn it into flashcards or a quiz from the same structure, or start upstream with the YouTube or article summarizer.

Won't work on

Inputs under ~200 characters — not enough structure to map. Raw data tables / numeric spreadsheets — mind maps are for concepts, not numbers. Unrelated bullet dumps with no shared theme will come back as a flat tree.

Pricing

Free with an account. Sign up for 30 runs/month (each map = 5 credits). Upgrade to Pro for 1,500/month.

Sample output

Here's what a real mind map looks like.

Input: 12-minute lecture transcript on photosynthesis · 4 levels, 14 branches.

Photosynthesis
- Inputs
  - Light energy
    - Visible spectrum (400-700 nm)
  - CO₂ from atmosphere
  - H₂O from roots
- Two phases
  - Light-dependent
    - Splits water → O₂, ATP, NADPH
  - Calvin cycle
    - Fixes CO₂ → glucose via RuBisCO
- Outputs
  - Glucose (stored energy)
  - O₂ (released to air)

Questions & answers

What content works best? #

Any hierarchical material: lecture notes, research paper, article, meeting transcript, summary, book chapter. The more structured the source, the cleaner the mind map.

How is this different from Mermaid / GitMind? #

You paste text — we do the thinking. No manual diagramming. And the result is also a JSON tree you can feed to flashcards or quiz generators with one click.

Can I edit the mind map afterwards? #

You can copy the Mermaid markdown and paste it into any Mermaid editor (Mermaid Live, VSCode, Obsidian) to manually adjust. Native in-app editing is coming with Pro.

What languages are supported? #

English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Indonesian, Russian — we output mind maps in the language you specify.

How deep does the tree go? #

Up to 4 levels deep: root → main themes → sub-points → concrete facts. We balance depth automatically so no branch is disproportionately deep.

Is it free? #

First 3 mind maps per day are free without signup. Free accounts get 30/month. Pro unlocks 1,500/month.

Can I export the mind map? #

Yes — copy as Mermaid, copy as nested markdown, or take a screenshot. PDF/PNG export is arriving with Pro.

Does it work from a YouTube video? #

Generate the summary first at /youtube-summarizer, then one click converts it into a mind map — shared credits across both tools.
