Everything a mind mapping app should do. Nothing it shouldn’t.
Smart Mind is built for one person’s thinking: fast to capture, calm to look at, and yours to keep.
Start with a sentence. Finish by hand.
Describe what’s on your mind — “plan a 10-day trip to Japan”, “everything I need to learn Spanish” — and get a structured map in seconds. Stuck on a branch? Expand any topic into new sub-topics.
Generated topics are ordinary text: editable, undoable and never watermarked. The map is yours the moment it appears.
How AI mind maps work →
Type a list. See a map.
Some thoughts come out as lists. The editable outline view lets you type, indent and reorder topics like in a notes app — and every change shows up on the map instantly.
- Checkboxes with progress that rolls up the branch
- Notes, images, icons and links on any topic
- Drag and drop to re-parent or reorder
- Search inside a map and across your library
One map, eight shapes.
Switch the same map between layouts with one tap, and style it with 18 hand-built themes — eight of them dark. Restyle any topic or branch line on its own when one idea needs to stand out.
- Horizontal
- Vertical
- Org chart
- Timeline
- Radial
- Matrix
- List
- Free-form
Your maps never leave your device.
Most mind mapping apps want an account and your data in their cloud. Smart Mind doesn’t. That isn’t a slogan — turn on airplane mode and everything except AI keeps working.

Frequently asked questions
Is Smart Mind free?
Yes. The free version is a complete mind mapping app, not a trial: unlimited topics, images, notes, checkboxes, all eight layouts, the outline view and search. Smart Mind Pro adds every theme, PDF and Markdown export, presenting, device sync and a bigger AI allowance. Compare Free and Pro.
Does Smart Mind work offline?
Yes. Everything works without a connection except AI, which needs the internet. Your maps are stored on your device, so you can brainstorm on a plane, in the subway or anywhere else.
Where are my mind maps stored?
On your device, and nowhere else. Smart Mind has no account and no server that holds your maps. There are no ads, no analytics and no tracking. How privacy works.
How does the AI mind map generator work?
Describe what you are thinking about in one sentence — "plan a 10-day trip to Japan" — and Smart Mind builds a structured map. Every generated topic is ordinary, editable text. You can also expand any topic into sub-topics. More about AI mind maps.
Which devices does Smart Mind run on?
iPhone, iPad and Android phones and tablets. With Pro, you can sync maps directly between your own devices over Wi-Fi — no cloud account involved.
Can I import or export my maps?
Yes. Export to PDF, PNG, HTML, Markdown, OPML or a plain text outline, or print. Import OPML and outlines, and restore full Smart Mind backups — importing is always free. Import, export and back up.
