Why a custom mind map beats a downloaded template

Pinterest boards are full of tidy layouts, but a ready-made mind map template only helps once your own notes fill its branches. Most of the work is deciding what belongs under each heading.

  • Editable branches you can rename, reorder, or merge
  • Subtopics pulled from your own notes, not stock categories
  • Explorable maps you can expand section by section while studying
  • A starting point you can turn into flashcards or quizzes

Turn the same material into spaced repetition flashcards and quizzes with explanations.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file, or a photo of a page.

Generate the map

The AI sorts your content into main branches and subtopics.

Edit and explore

Adjust branches to match your syllabus, then study from the map.

A mind map works best when the branches come from your lecture slides and readings, not from someone else's board. Upload the material, review the main branches, and correct anything that does not match your course.

Frequently asked questions

How many branches should a mind map have?

Most topics read best with 4 to 7 main branches, each holding 2 to 5 subtopics. If a branch grows past that, split it into its own map so it stays readable.

What is the best way to study from a mind map?

Cover the branches and try to recall each subtopic aloud before checking. Then turn the weakest branches into flashcards so spaced repetition brings them back.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and you do not need a credit card to start.

Can I export my study materials?

Exports such as PDF, DOCX, and Anki are included with the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. Students get 40% off with a school email.
