Why a class mind map helps

A mind map app for classes works best when it starts from the material your instructor actually uses, such as slides, readings, and lecture notes. Lectures often jump between topics, and a map shows how a concept in week three connects to one from week six.

  • Build one map per unit or per course, depending on how your class is organized.
  • Compare your map against the syllabus to spot topics you have not covered in your notes.
  • Turn a branch into flashcards or a quiz when you want to test recall.
  • Start on the free plan to try a few maps before deciding on a paid plan.

Works with your course files

Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text, or photos of handwritten pages, and the text is pulled out for mapping.

Editable branches

Rename, move, or delete any node so the map matches how your instructor framed the unit.

Explore at your own pace

Open a branch to see its sub-points, then jump to flashcards or a quiz on the same material.

How it works

Upload your class material

Add the lecture slides, readings, or notes for one unit or one course.

Generate the mind map

The tool sorts the material into a central topic, main branches, and sub-points.

Edit and explore

Adjust the layout, add your own points, and expand each branch while you review.

Because the map is editable, you can reshape it as the course moves on. Add a new branch when a topic comes up in lab, or collapse sections you have already mastered so the open parts stay focused on what is still hard.

Frequently asked questions

How should I organize a class mind map by unit?

Put the unit name in the center and give each chapter or lecture its own main branch. Add key terms and examples as sub-branches so each one connects back to a single lecture.

What should go on the main branches of a biology class map?

Use the big ideas the course returns to, such as cell structure, energy flow, or genetics. Keep the sub-points short, like one term or one process per node, so you can recall them without rereading the whole section.

Can I upload lecture slides and handwritten notes?

Yes. PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text, and images are accepted, and photos of pages are read with text recognition. Review the extracted text before you rely on the map.

Is there a free plan, and what do exports cost?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Exports such as PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV are part of the Plus plan, which is $39/year or $7.99/month.
