## What is Minds?

Speak it, snap it, or type it.
Capture ideas by text, voice, or photo (OCR), and organize them into a clean mind map. Minds is a simple, lightweight, and completely free mind map app.

■ Three ways to capture — effortless
Beyond the keyboard, jot ideas by voice or pull text from a photo with OCR. Get thoughts down without breaking your flow.

■ Clear and organized
Nodes are auto-arranged into a tidy tree. Color-code, zoom/pan, and collapse subtrees to keep even large maps clean.

■ Search and export
Tag items (with colors) and search across all your maps. Export to Markdown to move your work into other tools.

■ AI for a quick first draft (optional)
If you like, generate a starter map from a conversation with AI — handy for brainstorming and planning drafts.

・Completely free
・Data stays on your device; iCloud sync is optional
・Works on iPhone, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro
・Great for organizing thoughts, brainstorming, meeting notes, and study

Turn what's in your head into a map — just by speaking or snapping.

*The optional AI generation feature requires your own API key for the AI service you use (Claude / OpenAI). The app itself and its core features are free and need no setup.
