Turn your team's documents into an editable mind map
Upload a project brief, meeting notes, or a PDF and get a mind map your team can edit and explore branch by branch.
Why teams use a mind map for planning
Most teams have their plans scattered across slide decks, docs, and meeting notes. A mind map app for teams can pull that material into one visual outline that shows how goals, owners, and risks connect.
- Turn meeting notes and project briefs into a starting map in one step
- Edit branches and sub-points so the map reflects your team's terms
- Explore dense plans by expanding only the branches you need
- Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus when the map needs to leave the app
Built from your own files
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text, or photos of whiteboard notes and DeckOwl turns them into a mind map structured around the main ideas.
Editable branches
Rename nodes, move ideas between branches, and reshape the map as the project changes instead of starting over each time.
Explore at your own pace
Expand the branches you need and collapse the rest, so a dense plan stays readable during a kickoff, review, or handoff.
How it works
Add your material
Upload a project brief, meeting notes, or a slide deck, or paste the text directly.
Generate the map
DeckOwl reads the content and organizes it into a central topic with labeled main branches and sub-points.
Edit and explore
Adjust the branches so they match your team's language, then walk through the map node by node.
A map works best when each branch holds one idea and the labels are short enough to scan in a few seconds. Starting from your own documents keeps the map tied to decisions your team has already made, rather than a generic template.
Exports are a paid feature. The free plan lets you create and explore maps in the browser, while Plus adds PDF and DOCX export for sharing outside DeckOwl.

Frequently asked questions
What should a team put in a project kickoff mind map?
Start with the goal, then branch into scope, owners, deadlines, risks, and open questions. Keep each branch to one idea so people can scan it quickly.
How do I keep a mind map readable when it has many branches?
Group related ideas under one parent node and collapse branches you are not working on. Short labels help each node read at a glance.
Can I export a team mind map?
Exports are a paid feature. Plus includes PDF and DOCX export, and the free plan lets you create and explore maps in the browser.
How much does it cost to start?
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and no credit card is needed. Plus is $39/year or $7.99/month for unlimited generations and exports.
