## What is Mind Map?

Smart Mind is a fast, private mind mapping app for capturing ideas, planning projects, studying and thinking out loud. Everything you write stays on your device.

START WITH AI, FINISH BY HAND
Describe what you're thinking about in one sentence and Smart Mind builds a structured map from it. Stuck on a branch? Tap any topic and expand it into sub-topics. Generated topics arrive as ordinary, fully editable text — nothing is locked, nothing is watermarked, and undo works exactly as you'd expect.

BUILT FOR REAL MAPS
• Unlimited topics and unlimited canvas — the page grows with your thinking
• Several mind maps side by side on one canvas
• Drag and drop to re-parent a topic or re-order siblings
• Checkboxes with progress that rolls up from the branch below
• Auto-numbering, crosslinks between any two topics, labels and call-outs
• Images from your camera or gallery, notes on any topic, emoji and stock icons
• Collapse, hide branches, autofocus a single branch, branch and group borders
• Editable outline view — type your map as a list, see it as a map
• Search inside a map and across your whole library, organised into folders

LAYOUTS AND STYLE
Eight layouts: horizontal, vertical, top-down org chart, linear timeline, radial, matrix, list, and free-form where every topic sits where you put it. Eighteen hand-built themes, eight of them dark. Style any topic individually — fill, text, border, shape, font — and any branch line's colour and pattern.

TAKE IT ANYWHERE
Export to PDF, PNG image, HTML, Markdown, OPML or plain text outline. Print straight from the app. Present a map branch by branch as an animated slideshow. Back up everything to a single file and restore it on another device — importing is free forever, so your maps are never trapped.

PRIVACY, PLAINLY
No ads. No account. No analytics. No tracking. Your maps are stored on your device and are never uploaded, synced or read by anything. The only network features are the optional AI, purchases, and crash reports you can switch off in Settings.

FREE, AND WHAT PRO ADDS
The free version is a complete mind mapper: unlimited maps and topics, images, notes, checkboxes, progress, crosslinks, outline, search, image export, text outline export, and every import path including full backup restore.

Smart Mind Pro adds: all 8 layouts and all 18 themes plus your own custom themes, PDF/HTML/Markdown/OPML export, printing, slideshow presentation, unmarked image export up to 4x, backup export, and a far larger AI allowance.

Pro is available as a subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel in your App Store account settings. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.

Available in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Portuguese and Chinese.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.28 — 2026-09-04

Your maps on all your devices — and still no cloud.

• Sync devices (Pro). Copy and merge maps between your phone and tablet over Wi-Fi. Nothing leaves your network, and there is no account.
• Pair by scanning a code, or by comparing six digits on both screens.
• Edits on both sides merge topic by topic, and you can undo any synced map.
• Deleted a map by mistake? Trash now keeps it for 30 days.
• Fixed: on tablets, panels could open blank.

### 1.0.16 — 2026-08-29

This update keeps you in the map while you work.

• See changes as you make them. Style, Icon and Layout now open as a half-height panel over a live map.
• A toolbar that stays put. Delete, + Child and + Sibling keep the same spot; the rest moved into a tidier ⋯ menu.
• Keyboard editing, rethought. Enter finishes a topic, Tab goes deeper, Esc undoes — and on touch, Done clears empty topics.
• Plus: text alignment, trackpad pan and pinch-to-zoom, and search focus fixes.

### 1.0.9 — 2026-08-21

- Compact layout mode — a new toggle that tightens node spacing on the canvas for denser maps, without altering the underlying document.
- Hide checked tasks — a filter to hide completed task branches from view, fully undoable and non-destructive.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-08-19

- Bug fixes and performance improvements.
- Improved UI support for larger screens.

### 1.0.0 — 2026-08-18

No release notes.
