How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, a document, or plain text with your goals, or photograph a handwritten page.

Review the generated map

Check the main branches and edit any goal that does not fit how you want to live.

Pick images for each branch

Use the map as a checklist so every picture on your board ties to a specific goal.

Each branch can hold a theme such as health, money, or travel, with smaller goals underneath. Seeing the whole picture makes it easier to choose images and words that match what you actually want rather than what looks good in a collage.

Frequently asked questions

How many branches should a vision board mind map have?

Most people do well with five to seven life areas, which covers the main parts of a life without crowding the board. Add sub-goals under each branch instead of more top-level categories.

How do I choose which goals go on a vision board?

Pick goals you would still want if nobody else saw them, and keep only those tied to an action you can take this month. Writing each goal as a short present-tense sentence makes it easier to judge.

Can I export my vision board mind map?

The free plan lets you make three generations per month and study in the browser, but exports are part of paid plans. Plus is $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month and includes PDF and DOCX export.

Can I start without a credit card?

Yes, you can start on the free plan without entering a credit card. Students can get 40% off a paid plan with a school email.
