Turn your UI design notes into an editable mind map
Upload a PDF, slide deck, or photo of your notes and get a branching map of UI design principles you can edit and explore.
How a UI design mind map helps you study
Most UI design courses cover layout, color, typography, and interaction in the same few weeks, and a mind map for UI design keeps those connections visible so you can see how one principle affects another.
- Shows how layout, color, and typography connect in one view
- Keeps usability heuristics next to the screens they apply to
- Lets you collapse branches to review one principle at a time
- Starts from your own slides and readings, so it matches your course
Editable branches
Rename, move, or add nodes so the map matches your course exactly.
Explorable structure
Expand and collapse branches to focus on one principle at a time.
Built from your material
Maps come from your own slides and notes, not generic templates.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file, or a photo of your notes.
Generate the map
The AI sorts your content into main branches and sub-branches.
Edit and explore
Rework the layout and study the map in your browser.
A good map groups related ideas under clear branches, such as grid systems and whitespace under layout, or contrast and palette roles under color. Seeing the hierarchy makes it easier to recall which rule applies to a given screen.
Because the map is editable, you can add your instructor's examples, trim topics you have already mastered, and return to any branch when you prepare for a critique or exam.

Frequently asked questions
How do I organize a UI design mind map?
Start with main branches such as layout, color, typography, interaction, and usability. Add one level of sub-points under each branch, such as grid systems under layout.
What should a UI design study map include?
Include core principles like visual hierarchy, contrast, and consistency, plus the frameworks your course uses, such as Nielsen's usability heuristics. Link each principle to a concrete example from your material.
Can I export the mind map?
The free plan lets you create and study maps in the browser. Exports such as PDF and DOCX are part of the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month.
Does it work with photos of my notes?
Yes. Photos of printed pages are read with text recognition before the map is built, so handwritten notes may need a clearer photo for best results.
