How it works

Upload your material

Add the PDF or paste your notes from Think to Win.

Generate the mind map

DeckOwl builds a central topic with main branches and sub-points from your text.

Edit and explore

Reshape the map, then study it in the browser or export it on a paid plan.

A map you create also works better for memory. Moving branches around, merging overlapping ideas and deleting what you do not need forces you to decide how the concepts connect, which is the part that sticks.

If you want a copy to print or share, the Plus plan includes PDF export, so you can keep a clean version for review.

Frequently asked questions

How do I map the main ideas of a strategy book?

Start with the chapter headings as your main branches, then add the key claims and examples under each one. Keep sub-points short, and link ideas that depend on each other so the connections are visible.

What should a Think to Win mind map include?

Focus on the core argument, the main decision or thinking tools the book describes, and the examples that illustrate them. Add your own notes on how each idea applies to your work.

Can I download my mind map as a PDF?

Yes, PDF export is included with the Plus plan, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study the map in the browser, but exports are not included.

Is there a free way to try it?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and you do not need a credit card to start. Students can get 40% off a paid plan with a school email.
