Mind maps built from your own material on iPhone

A mind map maker for iPhone is most useful when it starts from the notes you already have. Lecture slides, a chapter PDF, or a photo of a whiteboard can become a starting map in a few minutes, so you spend your time reviewing instead of drawing boxes by hand.

Works from your own files

Upload PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files, plain text notes, or photos of pages. Photos are read with text recognition.

Editable branches

Rename, reorder, or add branches so the map matches how your class organized the material.

Explore instead of scrolling

Open the map in your browser and expand or collapse sections to focus on one topic at a time.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, a document, a slide deck, or a photo of your notes from your iPhone.

Generate the mind map

DeckOwl pulls the main ideas into branches and sub-points taken from your own material.

Edit and explore

Adjust the branches, then move through the map to review the connections between topics.

Because the map is editable, you can fix anything the first pass got wrong, such as a branch that grouped two unrelated ideas or a sub-point that belongs under a different heading. Reviewing the branches one at a time also makes it easier to see which topics you still need to study.

The free plan lets you generate three maps per month and study in the browser. Plus adds unlimited generations and export options for when you need to share or print your work.

Frequently asked questions

How should I organize the main branches of an iPhone mind map?

Use one main branch for each major feature area, such as camera, storage, or Control Center, and put settings or steps underneath. Keeping each branch to a single topic makes the map easier to review later.

What should I review first when studying a mind map about iPhone settings?

Start with the branches you use most often, then test yourself by covering the sub-points and naming them from memory. Repeat the branches you miss until you can name them without looking.

Is there a free plan for making mind maps?

Yes. The free plan includes three generations per month and lets you study in the browser, though exports are not included. You can start without a credit card.

Which paid plan lets me export my study material?

Plus includes unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV export. It costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month, and students with a school email get 40% off.
