Mind Exporter turns mind maps and outlines into files you can read, share, and keep in Files. Import XMind, FreeMind, OPML, and Markdown outlines. Review your import history, choose an export format, and keep every exported file organized in the Files app. Export to TXT, Markdown, Word, or Excel. When exporting to Excel, each map becomes its own worksheet and every topic is placed in the column that matches its hierarchy level. Your source files, import records, and exports stay in the app's Files folder for easy access.
