## What is Thoughtree?

The native mind map for Mac, iPhone, and iPad that opens your .itmz files as they are.

Thoughtree is built in Swift for Apple devices. Get your thoughts out, shape them into branches, and pick up the same map on any device.

CAPTURE
Add child and sibling topics in a keystroke and keep typing. Start a title with an emoji and it becomes the topic's icon.

ORGANIZE
Drag branches into place, reorder in the outline, and collapse a whole map to a display level (1–9). Add Markdown notes, relationship lines, boundaries, callouts, images, and tasks.

BRING YOUR MAPS WITH YOU
Open your .itmz files and keep working on them, topics, notes, and images included. Also imports OPML, Markdown, FreeMind, XMind, CSV, plain text, and browser bookmarks.

ANY DEVICE
Maps sync through your own iCloud Drive across Mac, iPhone, and iPad. No account, no sign-in.

SHARE
Export PNG, PDF, and plain text, or print (with a small watermark in Lite).

FREE IN THOUGHTREE LITE
Unlimited maps, all editing, iCloud sync, every import format, the built-in library of 313 images, two themes (Sapling and Aurora), and the "Create Mind Map" and "Open Mind Map" shortcuts.

MORE WITH THOUGHTREE PRO

### 2.0.2 — 2026-09-30

Thoughtree 2.0.2 improves everyday map editing.

- Press Delete again on an empty title to remove a topic you just created.
- Paste a copied topic's title and image even while editing a title.
- Pasting text or an image onto a selected topic now replaces its content instead of creating a child topic.
- Select All while editing a title now selects only that text, not every topic on the map.
- Transparent padding in built-in images no longer makes their selection frames oversized.
- Tightened the space between a topic's image and its title.
- Double-tapping empty canvas space no longer creates an accidental floating topic.
- Refined color, group, and boundary controls, and fixed cases where a map would not close.
- The image library now has 313 images in 15 categories, including people, emotions, seasons, travel, hobbies, and tech.
- Added Acknowledgements in Settings, listing the open-source software and artwork the app uses.

- Improved settings, popups, emoji selection, and the image library.
- Long-press a group to change its color or shape, or ungroup it. Long-press a boundary to remove it.
- Press delete on the onscreen keyboard while editing an empty title to remove just that topic.
- Fixed issues with closing a map and topic placement after Quick Entry.
