Turn your vector notes into a mind map you can edit
Ready-made vector templates use someone else's layout. Upload your lecture notes or PDF and DeckOwl builds an editable, explorable mind map around your own material.
Why a custom map beats a generic template
If you need a vector mind map template for a linear algebra or physics unit, a ready-made one rarely matches your lecture order or notation. Your instructor's definitions and examples are what show up on the exam.
- Branches follow your course's terminology and notation
- Editable nodes so you can reorder or merge topics
- Explorable layout that you can expand and collapse
- Same notes can become flashcards or quizzes for review
Built from your material
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text, or a photo of a page. The map follows your course's own terms and order.
Editable and explorable
Rename branches, add sub-points, and expand or collapse sections as you study.
Study from the map
Turn the same notes into flashcards with spaced repetition or into quizzes with explanations.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file, or photo of your vector notes or textbook pages.
Generate the mind map
DeckOwl reads the text and arranges the main topics as branches with sub-points.
Edit and study
Adjust the branches to match your syllabus, then study in the browser or export on a paid plan.
Generating the map from your own notes keeps those details intact. Each branch comes from text you already have, so you can check it against your slides and fix anything that drifted.
Start with the free plan, which includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV export.

Frequently asked questions
How do I learn vector addition for a first course?
Start with the geometric picture: tip-to-tail for two arrows, then add components one axis at a time. Practice with a few vectors in 2D before moving to 3D, and check each result by drawing it.
What should I memorize about the dot product?
Know that a·b equals the sum of products of corresponding components, and that a·b equals |a||b|cos θ. A zero result means the vectors are perpendicular.
Can I export my vector mind map as a vector file?
DeckOwl does not offer vector file export. Free studying happens in the browser, and Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV export.
Is there a free plan to try this?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start. Students get 40% off with a school email.
