Free Online Mind Map Generator

The privacy-first brainstorming tool. No login required, no cloud uploads. Organize your thoughts safely.

Why Choose NeatForge Mind Map?

In a market flooded with subscription-based tools like XMind or Miro, NeatForge Mind Map stands out by offering a completely free, privacy-centric alternative. We believe that brainstorming shouldn't come with a monthly fee or privacy risks.

🔒 100% Privacy-First Architecture

Unlike other online tools that upload your sensitive business plans or study notes to a cloud server, our tool runs entirely in your browser. Your data never leaves your device unless you choose to export it.

🚀 Powerful Productivity Features

  • Markdown Notes: Add rich notes to any node using Markdown syntax (Bold, Italic, Code blocks).
  • Keyboard Shortcuts: Keep your hands on the keyboard. Use Tab for child nodes and Enter for siblings.
  • Multiple Layouts: Switch instantly between Logical Structure, Fishbone Diagrams, Organization Charts, and Timelines.
  • Zen Mode: Toggle fullscreen to remove all distractions and focus purely on your ideas.

📂 Import & Export Flexibility

Vendor lock-in is a problem. We solve it by supporting standard JSON import/export. You can save your project file locally and restore it anytime. Need to share? Export high-quality PNG images in seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
