Turns a markdown outline into an interactive, zoomable mind map — free, browser-based, with a live editor.
Why we recommend it
Mind maps are usually either a paid app or a static export. Markmap keeps the source as plain markdown, so the map stays editable as text and versionable like any other document.
Strengths
- Free and open source under MIT. Live preview while you type, exportable as a standalone interactive HTML file, works from plain markdown you can keep in version control.
Keep in mind
- Layout is automatic, not something you can manually rearrange node-by-node — for precise spatial control, a dedicated mind-mapping app will serve better. Best suited to hierarchical outlines, not free-form diagrams.
