Some ideas only make sense once you can see them. MindFlow gives you an infinite canvas and gets out of the way. Type your central idea, branch it out, and watch the shape of your thinking appear. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Works offline. There is no account, no sign-up, and no sync. Your maps live on your device and nowhere else — which means MindFlow works on a plane, on the subway, and in an exam hall. No subscription. The whole core app is free. Six ways to see the same idea. Free-form, radial, tree right, tree down, org chart, and fishbone (unlock the last two for good inside the app, or get them with MindFlow Pro). Switch and every node glides into its new arrangement — the same thoughts, a completely different perspective. Find anything. Search looks inside every map, not just the titles, and opens the map right on the idea you were looking for. Quick capture. Jot an idea from the home screen without opening a map. It lands under the central idea of the map you pick, or starts a new map of its own. Focus mode. Spotlight one branch, dim everything else, and think about one thing at a time. Present mode. Step through your map branch by branch, with zoom and highlight. Your brainstorm becomes a walkthrough without any extra work. Outline view. Every visual map is also a clean indented outline. Edit either side; both stay in sync. It is the fastest route from a messy brainstorm to a structured first draft. Fifteen templates. SWOT, decision tree, study notes, project plan, essay outline, meeting agenda, weekly planner and more — each one a real starting structure, not an empty page. Seven of them unlock one by one inside the app, or all of them with MindFlow Pro. Export it anywhere. PNG, a print-ready PDF, Markdown for your notes app, a plain-text outline, or OPML for other tools. PDF and OPML each unlock inside the app, or with MindFlow Pro. Make it yours. Twelve colors, five shapes, sixty icons, a note on any node and cross-links between any two. Ten map themes (five included, five more to unlock), a minimap and a real dark mode. Five plain canvas backgrounds plus five patterns — graph paper, blueprint, notebook, isometric and kraft — each yours for good once unlocked inside the app, or all of them with MindFlow Pro. Your defaults, every time. Choose a theme, a layout and a background in Settings, and every new map starts that way. BUILT FOR THE WAY PHONES ARE ACTUALLY HELD A canvas that stays smooth under your thumb. Auto-save every five seconds, so you never think about saving. Unlimited maps, with stars and sorting. Works on iPad too, in 7 languages. PRIVACY No account. No sign-up. Your maps stay on your device unless you share or export them. MINDFLOW PRO One payment, not a subscription: every template, theme, layout and canvas pattern, and PDF and OPML export. Everything else works without it. MindFlow is for the moment when you have too many thoughts and not enough shape. Give them one.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Atona sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and Mind Map sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Atona holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0.

Atona ships an update every 2 weeks, Mind Map fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 13, 2026.
