Turn your Notability notes into a mind map template
Upload lecture notes, a PDF, or a photo of a page and get an editable, explorable mind map built from your own material, not a generic layout.
Why a blank template alone will not help you study
A ready-made layout shows you where things go, but it cannot know what your lecture said. Upload your notes and the result is a Notability mind map template filled with your own terms, so each branch matches what you need to recall.
- Start from your own notes instead of an empty layout.
- Keep each main branch to one concept so it is easy to test yourself on.
- Edit the map after generation to remove anything that does not match the lecture.
- Revisit the same map later and check which branches you can explain without looking.
Built from your material
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text, or photos of pages. The map reflects what your lecture actually covered.
Editable branches
Rename, move, or delete any branch so the map matches how you organize your own notes.
Explorable structure
Expand a branch to see its sub-points, then collapse it once you can recall it from memory.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add a PDF, a DOCX, or a photo of your handwritten page. Text recognition reads the photo.
Review the generated map
Check the main branches and sub-points, then edit anything that does not match your lecture.
Explore and study
Expand and collapse branches to test yourself on each idea before moving to the next one.
Because the map is editable, you can rearrange branches, cut weak ones, and add your own annotations before you review. Explorable means you can expand a branch to see its sub-points and collapse it once you know it.

Frequently asked questions
How do I make a mind map from lecture notes?
Upload your PDF, DOCX, or a photo of your notes, then review the generated branches. You can edit the map before you study from it.
How many main branches should a study mind map have?
Five to seven main branches is a practical range for one lecture, so each branch maps to one idea you can test yourself on.
What makes a mind map useful for studying?
Each branch should hold one concept, with two to four sub-points that support it. Being able to recall a branch without looking is a good sign you understand it.
Can I export my mind map?
