What MindManager is

MindManager is a paid visual planning application for creating mind maps, diagrams, flowcharts, and Gantt charts. It supports organizational charts, timelines, concept maps, Kanban boards, and other diagram types, with map, outline, Gantt chart, schedule, icon, and tag views. Presentation mode helps present finished work, while real-time co-editing enables collaboration across platforms; available features vary by platform and purchase option. Integrations include Jira, Microsoft Teams, Word, SharePoint, OneDrive, Excel, Outlook, Project, Planner, To Do, Zapier, and cloud storage providers. Exports include HTML5, image formats, PDF, spreadsheets, documents, project files, OPML, text, rich text, and ZIP. MindManager runs on web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
