Welcome to Mindmup

Made for mind mapping. That’s it.

Just pure, fast mind mapping. It’s the closest thing to writing on a napkin – if that napkin didn’t suck.

Choose how your ideas take shape.

From freeform to focused – create, share, and publish online mind maps in multiple layouts and styles, for free.

Toss in ideas, connect the dots nodes, make a mess – it's your space to think without rules.

Create a free mind map

Only the good stuff.

Feels light when you’re working solo. Feels powerful when you’re not. Focused, flexible, and lean on purpose.

Customize maps

Total stylistic control from map to node. Layout, color, shape, and more – with rethought tools built for speed and flexibility.

Take notes

Great for individual note-taking. Expand on ideas, build outlines, or draft content – then export clean text to keep writing in your favorite editor.
