About this tool

Build mind maps directly in your browser using a smooth canvas. Start with a central node, add child and grandchild nodes with a click, and edit any node text by double-clicking. Nodes auto-arrange in a radial layout from the center, and each branch gets a distinct color. Pan the canvas by dragging and zoom with the scroll wheel. Export your mind map as a PNG image. Your work is saved automatically to localStorage so it persists between sessions.

How to use

1 The canvas starts with a central node — double-click it to set your topic.
2 Click a node to select it, then click '+' to add a child node.
3 Double-click any node to edit its label text.
4 Scroll to zoom in or out; drag the empty canvas to pan.
5 Click 'Export PNG' to download the mind map as an image.
