Drag nodes to reposition · double-click to rename · click to select
How the mind map maker works
- Start with a central idea node and four example branches.
- Click a node to select it, then add child nodes, rename nodes by double-clicking, or drag any node to reposition it.
- Connecting lines update automatically as you move nodes around, keeping the structure visible.
FAQ
How do I add a new branch?
Click a node to select it, then click "Add node to selected" — a new node appears connected to it. Every node can have its own child nodes, so you can build out multiple levels.
Can I rename a node?
Yes — double-click any node to rename it.
What happens if I remove a node with children?
Removing a node also removes everything connected below it, since a mind map branch without its parent no longer has anywhere to attach. The very last remaining node is protected from deletion so the map is never left empty.
Is my mind map saved anywhere?
No — this version doesn't save between visits. Everything lives in your browser tab for the current session only, and resets if you reload the page.
