Local-first mind mapping for deep work
FlaxMind handles million-node maps with calm performance, stays local-first, account-free, and cross-platform.
macOS · Windows · Linux · one experience everywhere
Six core pillars transform a mind map from notes into a thinking operating system.
From early ideas to enterprise maps, a single document stays smooth at a million nodes — scroll, zoom, edit.
Tab / Enter / arrows build ideas, command palette covers everything — no mouse needed.
Inline rich text, four-quadrant images, links, file attachments, and Markdown round-trip.
.ofm files stay on your device. No account, no upload, no surprise sync.
Open several maps at once, with cross-file links and subtree drags.
Light / dark / system; 18 interface languages, from English to Thai.
Four steps from a single idea to a productive conversation.
Use shortcuts to capture fragments of an idea under one root node.
Folding, balance layout, and branch styles turn loose thoughts into something discussable.
Rich text, notes, images, and attachments let maps be reused, not just read.
Export to PNG, JPEG, SVG, PDF, Markdown, or .ofm — share any way you like.
One mind-map. Four views. Built for different stages of thinking.
Local-first by default means private, secure, and quietly out of your way.
Download and go. No identity required, no ads, no silent sync.
.ofm files live on your machine or in a cloud you choose — quit the app and they stay yours.
An unlocked .ofm format and Markdown export keep your maps portable.
Same experience and same shortcut conventions on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Beyond 1.0, scale, structure, and office-ready workflows take the next step.
Canvas background & fonts, six color scheme presets, PNG/JPEG/SVG/PDF export with bookmarked PDF pages, image viewer, and batch image management.
Polish for release day: brand, download, docs, and support are all in place.
From one million to a billion — faster open, steadier zoom, simpler save.
Fishbone, table, timeline, free topic, sibling alignment — maps as a real canvas.
Export a single map to PDF, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint — turn thinking into a deliverable.
