How Mindmap works

From a prompt, to markdown, to a mindmap.

Mindmap is a thin, fast layer between unstructured input and a visual you can actually explore. Here is what happens between the moment you drop something in and the moment a map appears.

Step 11

Drop in a prompt or file

Paste a question, a brief, a research dump, or upload a PDF, DOCX, or plain notes. You do not need to organize anything first — messy input is welcome.

Step 22

AI writes clean markdown

Behind the scenes, Mindmap distills your input into a structured markdown outline with headings, branches, and bullet points that mirror how you think.

Step 33

Rendered as a live mindmap

The markdown is rendered into an interactive mindmap powered by markmap. Pan, zoom, expand branches, click nodes to dig deeper, and export to PNG.

Built around the markdown.

Keeping the underlying outline in markdown is what makes Mindmap fast, portable, and easy to iterate on.

Multi-source ingestion

Prompts, PDFs, DOCX files, raw notes, and links are all parsed into a single coherent outline.

Editable markdown

The markdown stays the source of truth. Tweak a line and the mindmap updates instantly.

Interactive exploration

Click any node to ask follow-up questions, expand subtopics, or refocus the map on a branch.

Versioned history

Every generation is saved as a version so you can roll back, compare, and iterate without losing context.
